Happy Thanksgiving! & Black Friday Adventure

I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving! We sure did!

 

 

 

Makayla's First Thanksgiving 2012

After we stuffed ourselves, my mom and I ventured out to Target at 9:00 p.m. on Thanksgiving night - when they opened for their Black Friday Sale. We had no idea what to expect, as this was our first year going out on actual Thanksgiving. Target had a few items that I was after. We couldn't believe the line when we pulled up....

Target: 9:00 p.m. Thanksgiving Evening

It was wrapped all the way around the store. We waited until all these fools ran in. By the time we got in, they were out of carts and it was so packed you could barely even walk.  It seems like most people were after the big TVs, DVDs, and other electronics. I scored and got everything on my list and we were in and out within 40 minutes. The check out line was insane and it was wrapped around the store, but it went very quickly cause they had every single check stand open. It was actually really fun and I think we're going to make this a tradition!

Here is what I scored:

Shark Professional Slim Electronic Steam Pocket Mop

Regularly $99.99

Black Friday $49.99

 Fisher Price Poppity Pop Musical Dino

Makayla Jo | 8 month update | November 9, 2012

Well this post is a little late! I actually typed it up a couple of weeks ago and then accidentally deleted the "draft" when I was deleting other drafts. 

8 months old is such a fun age. Makayla has grown so much over the past few weeks. Here are a few updates.

Weight: unknown

Height: unknown

Head Circumference: unknown

Sleeping

Makayla is still such a great sleeper. We had a few rough weeks. First she had the stomach flu with a fever of 103.6 and vomiting. And then, she popped her two bottom teeth (November 1, 2012 to be exact). Then, the time changed screwed with her sleep pattern. After that, she decided to have a HUGE growth spurt where she woke every night for about 10 days for a bottle anywhere between midnight and 5 am. Thank goodness that is over! For the past week she has been sleeping back to normal approximately 7 pm to 7 am. She still takes about two naps per day, one around 10 am and the other around 2 pm. Her naps vary from 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Clothes

 Makayla is primarily wearing 9-12 month clothes. I recently packed up all of her old clothes and I cannot believe how small she used to be! I hope she gets some new clothes this holiday season because she doesn't have anything size 12 months & up! We recently sized up to size 3 diapers.

Crawling

Yep, still all over the place. You charge up the stairs like a mad man. You are fast! We cannot turn our back on you at all these days.

Feeding

You are having approximately 4 bottles per day, about 6-8 ounces per bottle. You are having 3 "meals" per day. Breakfast is usually oatmeal, lunch is usually a fruit, and dinner usually consists of a vegetable, a fruit, and an oatmeal.

Bates Nut Farm 2012 | Makayla's first trip to the pumpkin patch

This post is a little late, but last month we took Makayla to Bates Nut Farm! Going to Bates was one of my favorite holiday traditions when we were younger and it was so fun to take Makayla there.

She had a blast, she LOVED the pumpkins and all of the animals. We went early (9 a.m.) on a Saturday morning and I'm so glad we did because when we were leaving around noon the line of cars to get in went for a few miles.

Her skinny jeans & converse shoes kill me. I die!!!

Halloween 2012 | little ladybug

Halloween 2012 was Makayla's first Halloween! She had a great time dressed up as a little ladybug. She was the cutest ladybug we've ever seen!

She had a lot of fun, and made it till 7:30 p.m. Woop woop.
