Firsts:

3/15/15 - Points to things
3/17/15 - Saint Patrick's Day
3/23/15 - Blows on food 
3/25/15 - tandem trike ride with Evie
4/1/15 - Pulled up to standing
4/7/15 - Trip to the Aquarium

Milestones:

Maggie is great with independent play. She loves exploring the house.

She gives the sweeeeeetest open mouth baby kisses. She even puts her hands on either side of your face as she's leaning in for a kiss.

Maggie will eat just about anything. She even ate spicy Pad Thai the other night. I am so glad we skipped spoon feeding with her. It's been a huge help and she's an excellent eater.

Loves to babble and even says a few words "Hi" "dada" "muma" "iss" (sis) and she's trying very hard to say "woof"

She's starting to copy actions and knows routines. For example, when she's on the changing table she puts her hands up to take off her shirt. Or if she sees a hair bow she tries to put it on.  If I sit to play Little People with her she copies where I put the people.

No sign of standing alone or walking, but she's so active I'm not worried about it.

We're weening slowly but surely. I'm down to once or twice a day with an additional bottle.

Can drink out of any sippy cup or straw cup.

Maggie continues to be a great sleeper and a great napper. (I hope I didn't just curse myself)

Likes:

Likes to eat big meals
Play with sissy
Crawling all over the place
Splashing in the tub

Dislikes:

when sissy gets a little rough
slamming her fingers in the drawer
wet diapers

Other:

Maggie loves to observe, but she really loves to be in on the action. She can't wait to join in the fun! 
 
She's been very healthy this year.  I attribute that to some natural home remedies and excellent chiropractic care. I think she'd be more prone to ear infections without it.

We're looking forward to Maggie reaching new milestones.  We'll be going to a quarterly update from here on out!

Our Debt Story Part IV: We're Debt Free...now what?!?!

WE’RE DEBT FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Before you celebrate with us, make sure you've read Elizabeth's Story , Eric's Story , and How We Climbed Out of Debt . Two and a half years of gazelle-ish-like intensity + the few months prior as emotional primer and slowed spending, we made it!  We paid off over $50,000.  We have two car titles. Closed credit card accounts. Statements from one student loan (and one on the way!) with a $0.00 balance.  All our debt with Eric’s parents is paid off.  It’s. All. Gone. We also paid for my 3 semesters of grad school in cash.  Paid a second car accident in cash (it was minor compared to the first one).  Went to Nicaraga on a Mission Trip in cash.  Went on a 5 day Puerto Rican vacation in cash.  We’re up to date on medical expenses for the baby in cash.  All while squeezing in travel for weddings , babies, family reunions, half-marathons , mini-vacations and to see out of town friends...in cash! ...

Evie: Five Years

Where has the time gone? Our first born is FIVE! One whole hand.  Three months late is better than never.  We love you sweet Evie Girl! Weight:  48lbs Length/Height:  44 inches  Eats:  3 full meals, 1-2 snacks, 10-15oz of water, 5oz of almond milk Diapers:  Pull Ups at Night Clothes:   6-7 or 7-8 Shoes:  12W Teeth:  All are accounted for, nothing loose yet Sleep:  8pm-7:30am + a rare, but welcomed car nap every few months Milestones: Evie went to PT this year for poor muscle tone and a weak core. A lot of this was due to (but also contributing to) her constipation history. After 4 months of weekly physical therapy and diligently doing her homework, Evie caught up to her peers. She's been seeing another specialist for her tummy.  She's not 100% on her medication, but we haven't had any set backs or any more vomiting or constipation.  Evie can do basic addi...
