Gosh! I can’t believe March passed us by!! My goal has been to blog at least once a month – looks like I missed March. We’ve been have lots of fun. Max turn 4 at the beginning of this month! I just can’t believe it!! We had a party at Jump Zone in Maumelle. It was SO much fun. The kids just went wild! It was so much fun!! It had a super hero theme. I gave all the kids home-made capes with their initials. I promise to do a birthday post – just like I did with Maggie!
Max is still growing fast. He is such a smart little boy. We have been working on his speech. He really has a hard time with sp blends and double ls. He does not like working on his speech. So we try not push it. If he doesn’t improve we will go back to the speech therapist for re-evaluation. Let’s just hope he gets better.
He also went to the dentist this week. They discussed his thumb sucking. At this point they do not see the thumb sucking has effected his bite or teeth but suggested we stop it now. Easier said than done for sure – however, he is doing better and listens when I tell him to stop sucking his thumb during the day. Right now we are only letting him when he is in bed. Wish us luck!!
Miss Maggie is pretty smart too. She doesn’t have as vast of a vocabulary as Max but I think it is a combination of her being our second child and the pacifier. We have started weaning her off the pacifier and her bottle. She’s really doing great with the bottle. She is such a mess but really understands what we say to her. If she is hungry or sees you fixing food, she will go stand at her chair and raise her arms to let you know she’s ready for the chair. You can tell her to go to her chair and she’ll walk right to it. Also, you can tell her, “Maggie go get your blankie and go night night” and she will grab her blankie and go straight to bed. Today for nap time I told Max to go to his bed and he went straight to bed and then I told Maggie and she did the same!! I’m super blessed!! She is also giving kisses when asked now. It’s SO sweet!!
She is really rotten. She climbs on EVERYTHING and annoys her brother ON PURPOSE. It’s so sad. If he has a toy she takes it, if we are riding in the car she hits him – basically anything she can do to get under his skin she does it. You can see it in her face. But Max is so sweet. He just loves her. He definitely whines when she is not being nice but he tries. Sometimes he’ll say, It’s ok momma, I’ll let Maggie hit me. SO SAD!!! He is still such a cuddle bear.
March was really busy! We went to an indoor waterpark (Great Wolf Lodge) with Sally and her family, my mom, sister and brother came to visit, and we had Harper and John David’s birthday. LOTS of fun!!
Here are some pics of my precious babies!!
My Dad and Kelley got the babies some PB chairs. They LOVE them!!!!
They LOVE their daddy!!!
We also hung out with friends!
Here is Maggie with Mallani and Lauren.
Maggie also shared a plate of food with Ryan. She was OBSESSED with him. I think she was flirting with him. It was so funny!! She would twirl in front of him and return his hat when Max would take it – really anything to get him to give her attention. I’ve never seen her do that with anyone. It was sweet!
They had so much fun at Harper and John David’s party playing with friends. They rode around in a car and on a horse together! They fed animals and ate ice cream!!
This is how Maggie ate her ice cream. She would stick her face in the ice cream cup. She refused to eat it with a spoon. I think it was more that she wanted to do it by herself than anything. She’s SO independent.
Here is Miss Independent standing in chairs and climbing on tables!
Just hanging out!!
When we were at Great Wolf Maggie and John David rode together in the double stroller. Everyone thought they were twins. It was so sweet – I responded every time we were asked if they were twins with, “No, they are engaged.” 
We had lots of fun at Great Wolf!
Ashlee and Foster met us for a short visit!!!!
Here is Max going down a slide – by himself!
Maggie was pushing the big boys in the stroller!
Here they are napping on the go! We didn’t have time to stop on our “vacation” as Max called it
Maggie is such a great sleeper. She sleeps from about 7:30 until 7:30 and still takes 2 naps. However, she sleeps in her bed, in the dark, and ALONE. If she is in the room with someone, she will not go to sleep. She thinks it is time to play. I was so nervous what we would do at Great Wolf. But we figured it out – she slept in the BATHROOM!!! Too funny!!
We had lots of fun when my family came to visit. My family did a shower for my sister and then I just had lots of fun hanging out! It was great just visiting.
We got to meet Elizabeth Jr. on our visit home. She’s PRECIOUS!! Maggie was a little jealous when anyone held Elizabeth II and even a little jealous of her pacifier!
All the visiting wears a girl out!!!
Here is a pic of me and my sweet 4 yr old!!!
She wants to be a super hero just like her brother!!!
So I’ve mentioned it before but all my pictures are on my iphone and it takes FOREVER to transfer my pictures to my computer to blog – so I may just have to start blogging from the phone. I just hate how on the phone all the pictures go immediately to the end. O’ well, I guess it’s better to do that and keep up with my babies than missing a whole month of blogging!
I hope you all have a great week!!
HUGS!!
