A 5th TOOTH!

Maddox finally got a 5th tooth this week. I won't be able to show it to you because it is way in the back....which is entirely unusual....but hey, we'll take it. It is really what I consider a grinder tooth, not really a molar, and will allow her to start eating food a little easier. Although thus far she hasn't really had too much trouble with anything I've thrown her way. Eric is out of town and has been since Wednesday so Maddox and I are up at Grammy and Grandpa Dick's house.....which is always a treat. Maddox and I met up with a college friend of mine for lunch yesterday. Katie has Evan, 2 3/4 years old and Mackenzie, 3 months old. Needless to say, as you can see from the pictures Evan wasn't too interested in having his picture taken. We ate at California Pizza Kitchen, one of my favorites...and Maddox's too. We had a barBQ chicken pizza that was delicious and Maddox loved every bite of it, in fact I think she ate more than Evan did. It was interesting observing Katie managing 2 kids.....I was definitely taking notes!! She did a great job and both Evan and Mackenzie were very well behaved....can I be so lucky too. Maddox was enamored with Mackenzie. From the moment Katie took her out of the car seat Maddox reached her little hands up to her as if to ask to hold her. Then when I held Mackenzie she wanted to touch her and was giving me the 'I can do it' look. So I think that was a pretty good response to another little baby, a good sign for June!! Maddox is gaining in the WORD count. In fact a couple of times I have heard GRAMMY pretty well, but then what would you expect being at Grammy's house the last couple of days. We worked on EVAN all day yesterday in the car but it really came out as EMMA which is the name of one of the little girls at her sitter. She can say AUBREY pretty well which is another girl's name at Kim's. She's good at UP and we're trying to add on the UP PLEASE and she is starting to get her P's. She said FROG kind of last night, getting the FR sound but not the OG sound. She definitely likes to talk and you can tell she really wants to say the words.
