Oh my little Max. Melt my heart.

We just got these pictures taken a couple weeks ago. I think they turned out pretty good. Lewis family pictures to come soon....

Max has been the best little boy today. He has been telling me he loves me all day and that he wants to grown big and strong so he can be in charge and marry me someday. Here's how our conversation went,

Max: You only marry one person and that's all, huh mom?
Me: Yep.
Max: Well, I will just have to wait my turn then. When I get big and strong like you, I will protect you from bad guys and beat them up if they try to hurt you and if you get hurt I will hug you till you feel better. K Mom? We will get married in the temple, but it will be strange if I'm small, cause I won't know what I'm doing or where I am. I just love ya Mom.
Me: That is so nice Max! You are such a good boy.
Max: I know. I'm awesome.

Then 5 minutes later, Gracie was trying to get into the dog food while I was cooking dinner. I kept telling her to stop. Finally, Max was frustrated with me and tried to tell me how to discipline her a little better.

Max: Mom, you have to get fired up.
Me: I'm trying Max, she just isn't listening to me. I don't know what to do with her.
Max: Yeah, she is getting on my nerves too. You just have to get really fired up and scare her and make her cry. Isn't that right mom? When you scare me, I know you're serious.
Me: I think I am fired up Max. Don't you think?
Max: Well, just get little more angry and say NO NO NO Gracie. Then she will get scared and cry and stop.
Me: Ok. I will keep that in mind Max. Thanks for your help.

I could write things about Max every single day. He is very creative and always asks me to make him things. Lately he has been asking for a Bugs Bunny costume. He told me that I only need some gray fabric and I could whip it right up.

He is always so happy. I love his little face:)

Gracie, on the other hand, has been a stinker! She is super cute, but very dramatic. If she is upset she throws a tantrum and lays her face in her hands!

At her 1 year checkup she was 21.4 pounds, and in the 50th percentile. She was in 75th for height and 90th for her head. She is getting so big and when she is happy she is the cutest little girl around. She loves to give kisses to everyone and is actually a pretty good snuggle bug. She wakes up at 6:45 or 7 every morning and is down for her first nap before Max even gets up for the day. She loves to say, "Uh Oh. Hello. Ma Ma and Da Da." When she rests her head on your should she says "Ahhh." She flirts with all of our neighbors and if someone waves at her, she acts shy and buries her face in my shoulder. She has four teeth, two on top and two on the bottom. She is a sweetie and we love her!
