MJ is now 4 months old! She is STILL the sweetest and happiest baby around. She grins at us all the time, and she's started to really get a belly laugh and is ticklish. She is always sucking on her hands these days which I think means she is teething. She was cruddy for the first time at the end of February, and she had her first breathing treatments and nasal suction. She wasn't really a fan of either! She loves a little smocked baby that was Avery's (Avery never really played with it), and she enjoys watching toys light up. She makes lots of noises, and her teacher at school, Miss Lizzie, says she likes talking to her while the boys are trying to sleep in her class! She cannot roll over yet, but she can maneuver herself sideways on her play mat. She tries to sit up while lying on her back too. She will have her shots in another week, but I am guessing she is around 15 pounds? She is a chunk! People tend to comment on her big eyes and her facial expressions- they can be quite entertaining! Milly is still sleeping through the night and eating around 5 A.M. which is wonderful for me! She does have some off nights where she fusses and won't let me put her down though. She also still has red hair, but a ton of it has fallen out in the back leaving her with an old man do! We love our sweet girl so much! Happy 4 months, Milly Jean!
Avery loves dressing like her sister.

Bryce's First T-Ball Practice
Bryce is so excited about playing the "real" baseball! Daddy doesn't show it as much, but I know he's really excited about it too! He took Bryce shopping to get all of his gear, and they came back 200 bucks later! He said Bryce could not wear the drawstring pants, so his pants are a little big on him. I think I need to remind Daddy that he is four, not fourteen! B insisted on a red batting helmet, and he wanted the red and white cleats. His team is the Rangers, and their colors are powder blue and red. He also got his first UA bag and a t-ball bat!
B had an ear infection and missed his first practice, then his coach was sick, so he missed the second one! He got some practice in before it began to rain this night, then his next practice was cancelled due to rain. Hopefully, he will be able to play again this Thursday because he is READY!
I also want to note that Daddy got an award with his company when he went to Orlando a few weeks ago. It was the "Rookie of the Year" award for doing such a great job in a short amount of time. He said it is the first time they have given this award. We are so thankful for this new chapter, and I am one proud wife!
Celebrating Dr. Seuss at PLE and Hinds....
Bryce thought green eggs were disgusting!
Avery got rewarded for scoring a 2.0 on her STAR test! The girls in her class got manis and pedis from her teachers while the boys played football with Justin Jenkins. She loved having her nails painted red/blue by Mrs. J!
Over Spring Break, Avery had a repeat biopsy with Dr. Nowicki. She really wasn't upset about it until the anxiety of rolling back on the bed got the best of her. Thankfully, there is always a nice guy from anesthesia to carry her back which helps! When Avery came into recovery, Dr. N had already braided her hair- ha! He told her he would while she was sleeping. She thinks he is really funny! Everything went really well, and to Dr. Nowicki, everything looked much better and the esophagus appeared normal. The lab results came back the following day, and everything IS normal! Avery will stop taking Prilosec and begin taking Zantac in liquid form daily. She will (of course) continue with her GF diet which is apparently really helping her! She is almost 48 pounds! I am so proud of how well she has adjusted to yet another curve ball thrown her way. She is such a trooper! Go Avery!
