Hooooo's the cutest girl in the world??

This girl is!!!!

She is obsessed with owls right now, so of course I had to get her an owl shirt made. She wants to wear it everyday now. I have to put it out of sight so she won't see it and start screaming Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo!!!!

She loves to pick wild flowers in the back yard, and bring them to me in a bouquet. Daddy taught her this:)

She loves her sandbox, but is very particular. She likes her 2 certain shovels, and does NOT like the sand to touch her hands.

I could not get her to remove the sippy cup:(

Who doesn't like to explore in someone else's back yard. It is always more fun! So we went to YaYa and Pop's on Saturday to play by the water! She could play outside all day every day.

Looking for fishes

We went to the doctor today bc Mags has a fever and a terrible cough. We ended up leaving with allergy medicine. Apparently he thinks Maggie should be on some during this pollen season. I couldn't believe how good she did! She didn't scream as soon as she saw the doctor, which is a huge milestone. And she let him listen to her chest without crying! Now the ears are another story. You can't look in her ears without a really good meltdown. He commented on how much taller she had gotten since he saw her last in January. I hadn't noticed, but then on the way home I noticed her feet were hanging way over her car seat and almost touching my seat. I had also noticed this week she can now touch all door knobs in the house so I guess she has gone through a little growth spurt! She looks so big in these pictures to me:(

Some fun Maggie facts:

She wants the PB(TV) on as soon as she wakes up!

She is becoming a big time daddy's girl.

She loves doing the itsy bitsy spider.

She loves bath time!!!

She calls herself Mammie, and gets so excited if you say any sentence with her name in it.

She has learned the word "mine" and uses it quite frequently.

Every day when we come in from school, she climbs in Brians leather chair to watch Yo Gabba Gabba and drinks her meek(milk). She looks like such a big girl in his chair!

I know...everyone told me it got better as she got older. But I didn't see how. And once again, I don't see how it can get any better than this?!!!!

The Doo(Zoo)

We have an Ipad App that Maggie plays with all the time. It teaches her all her zoo animals and the noises they make. It is crazy that Maggie uses our Ipad all the time. We didn't have a family computer until I was in high school I think. Crazy how times change! Anyway, she loves the Doo and always wants to play with her zoo app. So we figured it was time to take her to the actual zoo. So we spent the day in New Orleans this past Saturday!

She ooohed and ahhhhed and pointed at everything from a safe distance away on Daddy's shoulders.

She made this face at every single animal.

Riding the carousel was definitely the hit of the day. She was a little skeptical at first, but after seeing several other kids get on, she wanted to ride. She had a tiny melt down when we had to get off.

Brian always says one of the many reasons he loves me is bc I am so expressive. I have no idea what he is talking about...

My two twins looking at the ducks. She gave them a few loud "whack whacks!" The ducks were definitely her favorite animal of the day.

We got into road construction on I-10 going down there. So what usually takes less than 2 hrs took 4 1/2. We were a little flustered when we finally got there. But seeing her face and how much fun she had was all worth it. I would have driven to California to see her have that much fun!

She loves Mr. Big Bear and carries him everywhere.

Unfortunately Mr. Big Bear gets sick a lot, so she has to listen to his heart and take his temperature. YES, we have finally warmed up to the Doctor Kit!!

We even have to listen to Sadie's heart. Poor Sadie! She should win a prize for everything she puts up with around here!

On a side note, I want a spring break this week!!! I am throwing myself a pity party if anyone wants to join in.

Some TV Watching before Bedtime...

Top 10

Top 10 things I LOVE about Maggie right now...

10. She waits for me to get out the shower with my towel, and has this huge grin on her face like she has accomplished the world when she hands it to me.

9. As soon as she wakes up, she finds the remote control and brings it to me saying, "PB Momma, PB." That is Maggie talk for turn on the TV, the Fresh Beat Band is starting!!

8. She squeals like a little pig when Yo Gabba Gabba is coming on.

7. She is the cuddliest thing I have ever seen! She loves hugs, kisses, and sitting in my lap whenever possible. She is the most affectionate little girl and I LOVE it!!!

6. She loves to say everyones name in our family, including Sadie, over and over again. They are studying family right now in school.

5. She has a new found love for girl scout cookies. If she sees me getting the box out of the pantry to give her one, she yells with excitement! Then, if I only give her 1, she has a slight meltdown. Takes after her father.

4. She loves to help me with whatever I am doing. Laundry, Dishes, picking up her toys. She is actually great at cleaning up when I tell her to. I think she is going to be tidy like her momma!

3. She is obsessed with learning colors right now, and everything is yewoe or boo.

2. She is beyond obsessed with barn yard animals. Her favorites are the duck, cow, owl and sheep. The other day at Corner Market, she mooed at everyone when we walked by them. Got a couple of weird stares.

1. And last but definitely #1 on my list...Every night when I put her in her high chair to eat she clasp her hands together to pray. The other night Brian and I sat down and started eating and totally forgot to say the blessing. We look over and Maggie is just sitting there with her hands clasped ready to pray! Sweetest thing ever!!

Naaaaaayyyyy

I've been a major slacker lately so I need to catch you up on 2 weekends! Last weekend, we had Ali's baby shower and it was fantastic! We gave her a brunch, which by the way, is my new favorite time to do it! Who doesn't love yummy pastries, breakfast casserole, and cheese grits!

Ali looking fabulous at 30 weeks with the hostesses!!

And little Jack's whole name will be... John Russell Crumpton. Russell is my dad's name:)

Then, Brian and I both had Presidents Day off so we had a play day with Mags! We started off with breakfast at Cracker Barrel. This little girl tore up her pancakes! Then we did some shopping, and she just had to have this little yellow duck...just couldn't live without it.

She is such a good helper these days. Helping Daddy pick up pinecones in the yard. Still would not put the duck down.

Nana came to play with us too!! We went out to my parents farm to pet the horsies!! She was a little nervous at first, but by the end was petting them and yelling NAAAAAYYYY!! We have been studying our barn animal noises lately:)

We ended the day at the playground! This girl just LOVES to swing. Sorry for the blur but I just love her smile in this one!

This weekend we had Heathers baby shower! I have no pictures bc I forgot my camera, but it was fabulous as well!! Today we went on a 6 mile run/walk down Longleaf Trace and it is just absolutely gorgeous outside! This girl wants to be outside at all times, so I know where we will spend most of our time this spring/summer. Time to buy a baby pool!!

Happy Valentines Day!

All ready for her party at school...

Notice anything...its mostly ALL boys

She would not set this chocolate cupcake down for anything!!!!

My sister volunteered to watch Maggie tonight so Brian and I could have a date! We enjoyed ourselves, but were home by 8. Brian is drinking coffee and reading a book while I am blogging and watching Maggie sleep. Maybe we are getting old, but I wouldn't change a single thing!! I just have to say...I am emotional thinking about all the love and joy that runs through our house. God is good all the time and all the time God is good!!
