Dear Miss Maddie Grace and Makenzie,
Wow you two are such a joy these days!! Your daddy and I
definitely get our fill of laughter each day from the things you two do! Quite
entertaining to say the least! We want to bottle up this age and make it last
forever-you two are just beyond precious and we thank God for your lives each
day! You are also beginning to show us how desperate we are and will be in
order to raise you girls up to love and fear the Lord. These are a few of the
things we pray are evident in both of your lives in the days ahead. That you
come to a knowledge of saving faith in Jesus Christ. That you resist the ways
of the world and follow the Lord’s will for your lives. That you find your identity
in Christ and Christ alone. That you know you are loved and accepted by God.
That you live with eternity in mind, knowing how fleeting this earthly life is.
That you use your abilities, talents, and gifts for the Glory of God. That your
hearts will overflow with joy from Christ in you. That you will find great
delight in serving others and putting others needs before your own. That you
will submit to a God who is worthy of all of your affection and praise! That we
serve a gracious and compassionate God who abounds in love and mercy. We love
you deeply girls. We want you to see how much Christ loves you by the way we
love you. Happy 15 months little ones!
Love, Mommy & Daddy
New things you girls are up to these days:
-love playing peek-a-boo with each other under the table,
the play house, doors, anywhere you can!
-started copying what the other one is doing
-Not liking the whole “sharing” thing; Getting territorial
with things they are playing with, will move to a corner or block their sister
out
-press your face into a mirror when you realize its YOU!
-love ice cream and popsicles (a fun treat every now &
then!!)
-love riding on your lion push toy
-began mimicking high and low pitch of animal sounds in book
-enjoys “brushing” their teeth and knawing on toothbrush
- can stack 3 blocks high
-will throw hands in the air when you ask “How big is MG or
Makenzie!?”; will clap hands and stomp feet to go along with song
-scribbled with a crayon
-becomes frustrated with tasks they have trouble with
-anticipates certain parts in a book; anticipates being
chased and will get nervous & run or laugh
-if mommy starts to read a book to one, the other will
IMMEDIATELY crawl/walk right over and plop down in my lap too to be a part of
it
-moved to your big girl car seats this month! Haven’t minded
a bit, but don’t sleep in them nearly as much so far
-very hard to take out to eat now that you are both soo
mobile-don’t like sitting in high chair at all!
-1st international flight to Mexico !
-Makenzie’s 1st tooth popped through (6/26) and
Maddie Grace now has 4 with 2 more on the way
-MG loves to put lids on containers
-MG will rearrange stacking cups to make them fit and will
problem solve to make it work if one won’t fit
-MG loves stuffed animals and will talk to them and hug them
-MG LOVES playing with balls of every shape and size; will
deliver the ball to you rather than “throw” it
-MG loves to collect & organize things-daddy’s business
cards, magnets, anything flat that can stack J
-MG also enjoys ripping paper in half and carrying that
around too
-MG has started biting; partially because she has lots of
teeth coming in, partly b/c Mak sticks her fingers in her mouth, but a couple
times she has done it when she gets mad L
-Mak loves to pick up heavy things or toys and carry them
all over the place
-Mak loves to bring you toys and any other item that you can
place in your hand and then take back of course
-Mak has started “creeping” around and squatting down on her
knees to look at things of for things-it’s adorable!
-Mak walked backwards for the first time a few days ago
-Mak can climb up onto things to get to other things she
wants
-Mak will reach up to hold your hand when walking in new
places
-MG still SUPER SUPER ticklish; Mak wants & loves to be
tickled but really isn’t all that ticklish J
-Both girls are just now at the stage where I can teach them
new things such as “Where is your belly button?” “Where does Jesus live?” and
they point to their heart with both hands & also how to “Blow kisses!”
