Big bump & Tilden Park

Well, when I was pregnant with Maggie I took pics every month and now that I'm almost 17 weeks I should probably get a picture of this one! It's already a little stinker and I'm still tired and still sick every so often. I'm also trying to tan up my pasty white body so I took advantage of these hot days! We decided to find out the sex of the baby so our appt is on Monday, May 4th.

Tilden Park was so much fun! I can't get over how much fun she has on the Merry-go-round!

If you ever want your kid to just stop talking for a little bit then a nice train ride is the best thing. J/K It was a fun trip and the train ride is only $2! She loves hanging out with Nonna and Papa!

Moe Moe, Kev & Easter

Maggie's 2nd Easter!!! Last year she was sick and this year she woke up with a nasty runny nose. We went to Papa's church to be with family and she loved the worship time. At our church they go right to Sunday School so she never hears the music! Afterwards, everyone came over for a BBQ and watch the only kid around hunt for Easter eggs. We need some little cousins Tony & Erika! She loved wearing her dress all day!

Here is Cousin Mike helping her open the eggs.

This was the spot she chose as she got each egg she would come over here, open it and eat the yummy candy (chocolate covered raisins)!!!

Here's Grandma hiding the Easter eggs! She still does the grass trick!! Every egg had fake grass next to it... I remember that as a kid too! I was just excited that the Easter bunny brought me the Reese's giant eggs!

Moe & Kev (my cousins) came for a visit from Nebraska! It was so much fun hanging out with them... Now every so often Maggie says, "Mommy, call Moe Moe"! We miss you!

My motivation

I've been meaning to read the Bible more often and I just can't get myself to get on a routine. Maggie gets up at 6:45 a.m. and I can't get up earlier than that. I keep making excuses and I just need some motivation. Guess who took out my Bible and started reading it? My little motivator.... She was singing the alphabet but it was so cute!

Quotes from Maggie: 22months
Mag: "Mama, I took my haircut out (hairclip). I want to put it in mommy's hair. So pretty! I want to put it in Daddy's hair".
Mom: "Oh... you want to put it in daddy's hair?"
Mag: "Yes"! (she's saying yes now instead of OK)
Mom: "Does Daddy have any hair?"
Mag: "Nooo"
Mom: "Where is Daddy's hair?"
Mag: "In the garage!"

Mag: "I want to kiss Vincent!" (Random out of the blue comment)

Mag: "I want to kiss the baby in mommy's belly" (lifts up my shirt, looks at my belly button, touches belly button) "Ewwwww, poo, poo baby"

Hot Days!

We had some reallly hot days last week and Maggie wanted to dress herself this day. She really wanted to wear her Easter dress but we didn't want it dirty so I pulled out this one. She wouldn't wear any other shoes except these ones. Daddy put on white ones and she cried for 5 minutes and said they were "too big". Daddy went outside to take pics and obviously she was very proud of her outfit. Posing!!!

Brayden's 1st b-day was so much fun but someone didn't want to take a nap.... so by 5:30 she was passed out on the couch. Nothing would wake her up. She woke up at 6 a.m. the next morning. Fun for me!

It was almost 80 degrees this day so she wanted to jump in the water table. Some of her favorite songs this week are "A, B, C..." "Ring around the rosie", "Rock-a-bye baby", "Old Macdonald".

I know it's early to be potty training but she really wants to sit on it. So far she hasn't peed yet but I think she's getting close. I'm taking out the M&M's on her 2nd b-day. The first time I gave her an M&M for sitting on the potty she threw it in the toilet. Good times! She's also fascinated with poo poo. If she farts, she tells me, "Mommy, I tooted" and then laughs. I'm not sure if we'll be able to control the potty talk around here.
