He Smiles!

I can't believe he is big enough to smile now! I couldn't get him to do his big open mouthed grin, but you get the general idea!

Preschool

Makaylee started preschool this week! When we got to school the first day all the other moms were hovering around like helicopters, with their children hanging from their legs. Makaylee looked around tentatively and took a seat that had a puzzle in front of it. I stood near and watched her. After about two minutes she looked up at me and said, "Mommy, can you go to the car now, and pick me up when it's over?" I blinked, trying to understand what she was saying. "Do you want me to go now honey?" She nodded and kissed me goodbye. I was the first mother to leave. I looked back at her, sitting so big at the table and my mouth dropped open. When did this happen? When did my baby become a kid?!?!

These pictures were taken after school the first day. Her hair was much more orderly when I dropped her off at school!

Sweet sleepy baby.

It's a Boy!

Belly Picture

Here it is, my one and only Belly picture. Terry reminded me that we haven't taken any this whole pregnancy!


Do you want to hear the good news though? My Dr. is going to induce me on June 29! I only have 1 week and 4 days left of being pregnant! Hooray! I am so ready to have my body all to myself again, I swear this kid is like 10 lbs and 27 inches long! June 29th is also our 6th anniversary! Terry said that it would make our anniversary easier to remember, too bad he had to put it that way, he would have earned points if he said that it would make the baby's birthday easier to remember!

Liberty Park

We're trying to fit a few fun things in this summer before we have the baby and we're home bound for a few weeks.

We went to Liberty Park with Makaylee's cousins today. She loved it! They have this fun wading area that they splashed in. Then they rode the Ferris wheel, then grandma bought them cotton candy as big as their heads!

What lucky kids!

3 Year Old Pictures

"Mommy, Daddy, say CHEESE!"

Makaylee has unfortunately figured out how to use my camera! Whenever she finds it she turns it on and says "Say Cheese". These are just a few of the photos she has taken. Now my photos have this weird glow to them. I think it is from her sticky fingers!

Dress Ups!

We used dress ups as potty training bribes. It worked suprisingly well!

Here, she has earned dress up shoes and a crown, look how proud she is!

She earned a princess skirt!

Here she earned a whole new dress!

My little pimp.

She is potty trained, and loves to dress up in almost anything. Even weird things like my bath robe. She is such a funny kid! She keeps us laughing all the time.

Happy Birthday Sweetheart!

Makaylee! You are the light of my life! You fill our home with sunshine day and night. You are so funny, and have the best sense of humor for a 3 year old! You dance around the house singing made up songs everyday, and they always make me laugh. Thank you for being such a good girl! You have the biggest heart. I love you so much!

Makaylee got this cheerleader outfit for her Birthday from one of her friends.

Grandma "B" came to say happy birthday and gave you a darling baby and doctor set.

Your favorite present? This Radio Flyer skooter from me and your dad. You are so good at it too!

Birthday Party!

Makaylee is 3! She turned 3 the day after Easter. We had a little friend party for her. She was so happy, she kept saying "My friends are here for my Birthday!" We had 8 kids and 6 moms over, and lots of pizza and cake. It was so much fun. They made candy necklaces and bracelets.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Baby!

We brought you home from the hospital on Easter Sunday 2004. You were the best Easter present we could have asked for!

Coloring Easter Eggs

This is the first year we have actually colored Easter Eggs since Makaylee has been born. I guess we just thought she was too young to enjoy it the last 2 years? She really loved it this year though.

Don't mind her just-out-of-the-tub wet hair!

Her favorites were the pink and purple ones, of course!
