Best Buds

Maddox had a fun outdoor playdate today with his best buddy Cooper. They are only 3 weeks apart and are bound to be the best of friends! They really don't have a choice since his momma and I are such great pals too! It was so nice to be outside today and to get to enjoy the beautiful weather!! I love Spring!

Introducing....

Owen Kathleen Mundie!!! 7 pounds, 4 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long.

We made it to Nashville about 2 hours after Owen Kate was born and got to see her for a little while. To say she is the sweetest little girl is such an understatement! Carrie was such a trooper and endured a 30 hour labor. She is a champ!! Congratulations Justin and Carrie! We love you guys!!

Exhausted...

Learning how to walk is hard work!!

Morning Playtime

I managed to snag a few pictures of Maddox this morning while we were playing in his room...

Searching for new things to get into:

Finally warming up to his penguin that he has been afraid of for so long...

Playing in the tunnel...

Coming through...

Maddox now has both of his bottom two front teeth, but will not allow me to take a picture of them. I thought he never was gonna get those teeth! He is quite the little ham, being very silly and doing crazy things every day. We definitely have our hands full with this little guy!

On another note, Daniel's brother and sister-in-law are very anxiously waiting for the arrival of their sweet little girl, Owen Kate. She was due on the on the 3rd, and I know they are so ready to meet her! We are traveling to Nashville this weekend in hopes that she will have made her grand entrance, so I am hoping we will have news about that soon. Every time my phone rings I think to myself, "this could be the call", but so far, no such luck. :( Hang in there, Carrie. There WILL be an end to all of this waiting soon!!

Easter Project

I decided that I wanted to try and make Maddox a jon jon for Easter this year. I was hesitant to try it b/c I thought it would be very hard and I have not done much at all with patterns. But yesterday I went ahead and got the pattern and decided to give it a try. It was not NEARLY as hard as I thought it would be and really didn't take that long considering my lack of experience with this kind of thing. I have never sewn buttons but my newer machine made it almost effortless. I wanted to put an applique on it, but I should have done it before I sewed it all the way together, so for this one, I may have to take it somewhere... and maybe put his initials on it?? I haven't decided yet, but I do know that I am proud of my first attempt!! I think I am gonna get some more fabric and make him several more.

A Fast Learner

Maddox has a new trick that he thinks will make everything all better. He has gotten into a bad habit of only wanting to play with things that he knows he isn't allowed to play with. Examples: one of our cabinets that we can't lock, the computer router, the entertainment center glass door, just to name a few. We are trying to teach him what the word "No" means, and while I definitely think he knows what it means, he doesn't seem to think he should heed the warning. As soon as we say it to him, he gets this look on his face like "I better do this real quick before they get to me". And as soon as we pick him up to distract him with something else, he immediately gives us the biggest kiss ever, hoping that will make it all better. He knows his momma loves his kisses and can't turn them down... and he's already starting to use it to his advantage!
