It finally happened........

Maggie at 3 months

Julia at about 3 months

Maggie finally pooped for the first time in 9 days last night. It has been crazy around here to say the least. After a week of no action from Maggie I called the nurse and she assured me this was normal with breastfed babies that sometimes they only go once a week when they hit about 3 months. I called again yesterday and still they said the same thing it was normal and she will go. Last night was the night........ Wyatt and I have never been so excited to change a dirty diaper (parents of babies I know you can relate). Needless to say we were happy she went and she is doing great and I know she is feeling much better. Other than that we are getting ready for our company this weekend. Mike and Liz are coming for a visit and we cannot wait to see them!!



Have a great weekend.

Have a great weekend!
You will have to go to the bottom and pause the music to be able to hear her on the video.

MiMi and Pop come to visit!!!

Things have settles down since Mimi and Pop have headed back to Memphis. The girls had a BLAST with them. Saturday since it was the only pretty day they had we went to the park. Julia got to show them all the fun slides and how big she is now climbing on everything. Sunday on we ventured to COSI since it was rainy so we could play inside. After about an hour just as we were about to watch live trained rats play basketball (no joke) the fire alarm sounded. Due to a tornado warning we had to move to the ground level and sit in the ocean exhibit for an hour. You can just imagine crazy that was with elevators and strollers and about a million kids. The kids did fine the whole time and while Pop had Maggie in the baby carrier on his chest she decided to have the dirty diaper of the century. It took 2 of us to change her complete wardrobe. After all of that excitement we took it easy on Monday and watched a movie. Julia's new obsession is watching Mimi put in and taking out her contacts. Then Julia pretends she has them too. It is pretty funny. Julia is modeling a new bathing suit to use this summer at Grandmama's and Granddaddy's pool. She can't wait to use it!! All in all it was a great visit and we miss them already.

PS. the picure of the marshmallows is what Julia built at school yesterday and hers
was 3 times bigger then anyone else's in the class. What a little architect. It is a "sleeping bed" the toenails are Pop's Julia gave him a pedicure.

Sunday at the Park

We have had a fun filled weekend. Wyatt and Julia went to Cosi on Saturday (children's science center and play area) and had a blast. It was pretty wet here on Saturday so that was a good way to get some exercise inside and have fun at the same time. Maggie and I shopped and had a quiet afternoon together. Sunday we actually slept in (until 8:30) very rare these days and then headed to the park after lunch. We had never been to this park and to say the least it was "AWESOME" (see the pictures). It had a large shaded pavilion for little ones to stay out of the sun and a huge playground. We had a great time!! Now we are looking forward to Mother's Day weekend with Mimi and Pop. They will be here on Thursday and staying until Tuesday (Yeah)!!! I can't sign off with out giving a Big Birthday shout out to Grandmama Lynn in Hattiesburg. I believe she celebrated her 29th birthday yesterday!! Happy Birthday!!! Love ya'll and have a great week.

Smiling Baby Pictures!!

Had to post with the cute pics I took of Maggie yesterday. Don't you just love that smile?? She does get sad too so I threw in some of her sad face although we are lucky and don't see it very often. She is doing great!! She is only getting up one time in the night and it is usually about 4 or 5 and she goes right back down so she is spoiling me already!! She has started drooling like crazy so that is the reason for the bib and no clothes because she is soaking everything. The doctor assured me that there were not any teeth in there yet so I hope he is right about that.

Julia had a great week in school. They were celebrating Earth week and had a nature walk yesterday. She has been have a great time playing outside every chance she gets. Wyatt is traveling this weekend but I think it is the last time for a while so it will be good to have him home for a while.

Enjoy the pics and have a great weekend!

Maggie is 2 months old!!

Maggie had her 2 month appointment yesterday. She weighed 11 lbs and 14 oz and was 22 1/2 inches long. The doctor said that she looked great! The shots were not fun for me or her and she was pretty upset about them. I haven't told her that we have to get more in 2 months. Julia is having a blast playing outside now that the weather is better. Elizabeth came this past weekend for a quick visit and it was so much fun. She was able to hang with the girls and we shopped too! She is looking GREAT as you can see from her growing baby bump. Julia cannot wait to meet her new baby cousin in August!!

Spring is finally here!!

Well the weather is looking much better here in central Ohio and we are enjoying it. Julia has been asking me everyday if it is spring time yet?? Poor thing. They have been learning all about spring at preschool and she had been dying to get out and play. This weekend has been great and she had been taking advantage of it. Wyatt took her to Lowes to get some more sand for her sand box and they got a blueberry bush too!! Now if she just had the patience let them grow before she picks them. Maggie is doing great and putting up with our crazy schedule as best she can right now. She is a great eater and sleeper and at this point that is all we can ask for. Elizabeth comes on Thursday for a long weekend and we can't wait to see her and her baby bump. Maggie gets her 2 month shots and check up on April 15th. I will keep you all updated on our progress.
