Max asked to hold Jack and then Hailey came up to cuddle by them too.

Jack really liked it when Max would pretend to eat his fingers.


Jack kept putting his hand back up for more even after Max was done. Max would close his mouth tight and Jack would really try hard to push his fingers in.

As Jack was laughing, he leaned down burying his face in Max's chest and had his hands under his chin. Then he started making his "growling sounds" with his face still buried. Max thought Jack was tickling him and was laughing so hard.

Then Max looked up at me and said "Jack tickle me. Dat's silly. He is a silly baby." Hailey sure thought it was funny too that Jack was tickling Max.

Hailey and Max were sure giggling alot. Jack would really watch them every time they started laughing at each other.

Tickle fight!

This morning when Max came out of his bedroom, he looked and saw Hailey was not in her bed. He came out to the living room and asked me "Where's Haywee?" I told him that she was in our bed still sleeping. Then he said "I don't do dat cause I only sleep in my own bed." She had come in our room early this morning and I let her cuddle in bed with us. Max never wakes up in the middle of the night (unless he's sick and even then he never comes out of his bed, he just calls us or cries so we have never had to walk him back to his bed in the middle of the night. And if he wakes up too early, he just stays in his bed talking and usually falls back asleep. He only comes out of his bedroom when it's time to wake up. Hailey had a doctors appointment this morning for her five year well check. She did very good with the vision and hearing test. She answered all their questions very well and didn't have to have any shots. She was so happy when they told her she didn't have to have shots until she was 11 years old. She weighed 39.9 pounds and was 43 inches long. We went to McDonald's for lunch. The kids had alot of fun playing in the play area. There were no girls playing when we first got there. Hailey came back to the table and said "There's no friends here today." Her and Max went down the slide a few times while waiting for our food. They must have been really hungry. They sat down and ate all their food and then begged for more. We had to order another extra hamburger for Hailey. Max loves the apple dippers and ate them all first. Then he ate all his hamburger and some fries and chocolate milk too. Hailey ate all her fries, two hamburgers, and chocolate milk. Usually they eat a couple bites and then start begging to go play. But this time they sat down and ate all their food without saying a word. It was so quiet at our table. As soon as they were done eating, they were ready to go play again. Max made friends with some of the boys that were playing. Hailey was so happy when a girl finally showed up. She ran right up to her while she was still getting her shoes off and asked her to be her friend. They played together the rest of the time. They had fun hiding on the boys. As soon as we got home, Max put on his policeman dress up costume that Grandma Brenda made him from one of Papa Dan's old uniforms. He loves pretending to be a policeman and puts it on every day, sometimes wearing it all day long except when we go away. The other day he said "I need some tickets in my pocket. Can you get me some?" So I cut up a couple note cards for him. He always carries those and his keys in his pocket. He rides his car around the house saying it's his "police car". Every once in awhile, he decides I need a ticket and makes siren sounds as he rides his car up to me. Then he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a "ticket" saying "I gotta give you a ticket. Dere you go." Jack is really getting around good now. He isn't crawling yet but he can scooch backwards really well. He gets up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth. He is so close to taking off. He still doesn't roll much, mostly stays on his belly scooching backwards around the living room. He sometimes gets just a little frustrated when he can't get to something he wants just out of reach. I think it funny when he tries so hard to go get it and ends up going backwards instead. He only whines just a couple seconds and then tries again, but ends up scooching backwards every time he tries. He'll scooch backwards until he bumps into something. It's so cute when he bumps into something that he wants to play with and looks up to me with a big smile like he's so proud of himself or he's so happy he found something he can reach. The look he gives me is really cute. Max has a little rocking horse in his bedroom. We just got it back today from our neighbor, Connie, who sewed it cause it ripped after Max rode it last. Max was excited to get it back in his room and went to get on it. It ripped on Hailey around the same age so I told Max he was getting too big to ride on it. I still wanted to keep it out for Jack and also most of the time Hailey and Max have fun just pulling their rocking horses around the house pretending they are Aunt Meme's horses, Sammy and Nutmeg. Max asked why he was too big so I told him cause he's three years old. He replied I not three years old just three cause da horsey won't break for three. Just three years old. Is dat right?" He smiled big as he asked that, hoping I would agree and tell him it was ok to ride. Instead I took him to the bigger rocking horse and showed him that he could ride that one. (For some reason he never gets on the big one. I think cause him and Hailey are always riding and playing with them together, and since they have started playing this way since Max was very little, Hailey always gets the bigger one and Max always ends up with the small one. And they're both happy with it that way. They never dicuss who gets which horse. They just each grab their horse and start playing.) Max loved riding the big horse and thought it was fun. He rode it for awhile and then got his small horse and started pulling it around. Hailey soon joined him pulling her big horse around. It's funny cause they still both prefer to have "their" horse. Max only gets on the big horse now when he wants to ride, but when they are playing he wants the small one. At least this way, there is no fighting over who gets which horse. They played this until it was time to get ready for bed. After getting the kids into their pajamas, Max asked to hold Jack. He was pretending to eat Jack's hand and had him laughing. Then Hailey came up to cuddle by them too. After I took Jack to go lay him in his bed, Hailey and Max were tickling each other and laughing really hard. Then Max grabbed his blankie and lay right on Hailey's lap. She let him lay there for a minute and then said "You're too big. You're squishing me." Max replied "I are?" He was happy she called him big. We read a bunch of books together. Hailey and Max really liked the one Hailey brought home from the school library yesterday. They wanted me to read it twice. Then they got up and acted out the story. Hailey sure remembered alot of details. She was funny telling Max what to say and do. And he did everything she told him to. I enjoyed watching them as they acted out the whole story.
