Georgia's confused, Lucy's posing- but Nora

Too big

Max couldn't see, so I cut some hair off the front. I'm going to trim the rest when I stop crying about how big he looks.

Tessa’s Dress

Her godmother gave her this for her birthday. Three! Who can believe it? 

Helper

Max was getting into some stuff Charlie left on the floor. Instead of cleaning up, he removed the problem

Friends

This is Lucy and her friend Cecelia at the pool today 

They are both 6 1/2 but Cecelia is the youngest of 5 and Lucy is of course the boss of the girls around here. They decided to be best friends and did a linked arms friendship pool jump 😂

Needless to say, all had a blast swimming but these little first grade hugs are melting my heart

Playing with Max

Standing

I don't know if I've ever had a baby with such a momentous month. Max has learned to sit himself up, pull up to standing, crawl, say mama, and is up to 7 teeth. It's been a busy few weeks!

Max loves food

Even play food

More being “Free”!

She wanted muffins for breakfast, chick fil a for lunch with her godmother, cake with strawberries 

Balloons, grilled cheese, and Annie

Happy birthday darling Tessa!

Birthday!

Tessa Joan is 3 today! She's been waiting for her birthday since April

Crystal, she still loves this blanket beyond all

Birthday dress!

Siblings made lots of presents, including coupons for piggy back rides and reading

Photobomb: crawling Max

Braids

All the girls got braids

Max Crawls

Maximilian has learned to crawl, the way I guessed he would - leaning forward from sitting.

Why yes, it is loud and busy here

Ballerina

Chuys

We took a group picture

And a silly one

Presents

The grandmas and I went to target and then called aunt Kelsey and before you know it there were presents.

Girls got clothes and dolls

James got shoes

Charlie, who was with us, picked coconut la croix

Pushing up

But not crawling

This is a typical expression. He's got this uncertain look.

But also this smile
