macy at the park the other day. she has developed a severe case of PCS - photographer’s child syndrome. its most notable symptom is the total lack of ability to look at the camera!

hilarious. stubborn. sweet. lovable. sassy. so smart. adorable. challenging. my heart.

i wish i had gotten some pictures of macy in her costume before we went out, but we were in a hurry to get moving.

here she is checking out her haul:

she got to choose two pieces of candy to eat that night…so she had an orange lollipop in one hand and a kit-kat bar in the other!

we visited the north carolina state fair back on the 26th, and we had so much fun! it was a beautiful day, and we were excited to have the day together.

apparently pregnant mommies aren’t allowed even on kiddie rides (insert rolling of the eyes here), so daddy took macy on all the fun stuff.

here they are on the choo-choo train:

and the swings…

and the pony rides (of course, i should have done this one!)

and a fire engine ride!

macy also got to play a fishing game

and she won a little blue doggy!

she was so excited; it was too cute.

and finally, we wandered into this little building where kids were allowed to pick up baby chicks and ducks! here’s daddy trying to keep macy from squeezing a couple of chicks to death!

my sweet girl.

a disclaimer: these snapshots were all shot on auto! don’t judge me! =)
