Okay, as promised, here are the top 10 reasons that I love my little Mace-face... (and because Macs and blogger are not friends, I am not able to add any pictures to this post, but just know we have many and they are cute... )
Here we go...
10. I love that Maycee sleeps! She has slept 6 hours a night from day 1. She now sleeps about 12 hours and it gives me great gratitude in my long uninterrupted sleep.
9. I love that she isn't too picky. Our home is filled with people that all know what they want, and it is refreshing to have someone that is willing to go with the flow.
8. I love that Maycee also growls (much like her brother). She has a mean growl when she has had enough of something, and a nice growl when she gets really excited.
7. I love that Maycee has lots of beautiful hair. Even though you can't see it under her helmet, and we had to cut several inches off before she got her "party hat," it is still there and is so pretty!
6. I love that when you try to help hold Maycee's bottle, she first gently pats your hand as a reminder that she can do it herself. If you ignore her reminder, she begins slapping at you, and if you still ignore her, she moves to her mad growl and begins to kick you away until you let her be independent.
5. I love that Maycee loves her brother. She watches him with awe as he plays and anxiously awaits her turn to get some of his attention.
4. I love that Maycee loves to be held. Even though she will not cuddle in any way (boo-hoo for me...) she loves me or Ryan to hold her. She evens rubs my shoulder or pats my back while I tote her around.
3. I love the way Maycee claps.
2. I love that she lets me dress her up, and stick bright colored things on her head (bows) each day and rewards me with a smile whenever I look at her.
1. I love that she does things on her own time and in her own way. She is definitely her own Spirit, and I am grateful as well that Heavenly Father entrusted me to be her mom. I love you Maycee!
PS: I asked Jaron to give me one reason he loves Mace and he said, "Because she is just my little princess, even though she sometimes scratches my face..." Well said big brother!

Hi Ryan, it's Becky. I saw your comment on our blog and had to respond back, although it is a bit delayed. It was great to hear from you. You have a beautiful family. Keep in touch!
