We have been having alot of fun watching Maci the last couple of months. She has had a few milestones. We clipped the nipples off her pacifers and she has been without those for about a month. It was about a week of crying and carrying on with naps and bedtime but when she saw the pacifers she said" they broken" and through them on the floor.  She is a funny girl with a loud mouth sometimes..laughing and giggling. Dada likes to call her big boca. She has been also sleeping with Levi in her own big girl bed! We had her in a toddler bed for about a week and Levi would get upset because he was  sleeping downstairs and everyone else was upstairs sleeping....so we moved Maci downstairs into Levi's room. It takes a bit of coordinating at naps and bedtime but once they are asleep they sleep all night. Maci will go and read books in her bed before nap and bedtime. It is sweetest thing to hear her talking to herself about the stories. We had two parties for "princessa" another Ryan name for her. She loved her cupcakes and presents at each one. The barbie doll car was a hit at from Grandma and Grandpa Koopmans, and she got lots of clothes, a cleaning kit and a new dollhouse from Mom and Dad. Maci is really into dancing in her princess gowns, putting on jewerly and playing dolls. She loves to have her nails painted and "pretties" in her hair. Before her birthday Ryan and I took her and Levi to the mall( Grandma R watched Luke). She picked the bunny to ride on the carosel and said up and down about 100 times. We got each of the kids a new shirt, got a snack and let them play on the treehouse that they have there. They had a blast and it was nice to just have time with the older kids. Levi and Maci are quite the pair lately..they tell each other to go to time out and have their fair share of spats..hitting and hair pulling. But they can play nice with each other and Levi is alot times during the day holding his sisters hand and teaching her how to build blocks, read a story, or help her get dressed.
