Welcome to "Life with the Maxies"! Kyle likes to think of it as "Maxie Madness". We live in Hattiesburg and are the proud parents of Kolt Allen who is 19 months and Kylee Jo who just recently turned one month old. Kyle is the head baseball coach at PCS and I am a first grade teacher at Earl Travillion Attendance Center. We attend Venture Church and are so happy that God chose to lead us there! We are so thankful for all of the many blessings God has bestowed upon us and pray that He can use us to be His light for others to see Him.

3 months old!


I am 3 months old!

I know I am very late posting this, but like I said in my previous blog, things were about to get busy (and they did)! Baseball season is in full swing for the Maxie household. Kyle is having a successful season with his team for his first season. We are so proud of him! Besides baseball, we have a very active little boy!

The past month, Kolt had many new adventures. We were able to make our first trip home to Monroeville. He slept the whole car ride there and back! We had so much fun! While we were there, Kolt went out to eat for his first time, which of course was at David’s Catfish House. He also went to church for the first time. I was so excited that his first time at church was where mommy went to church for the first time! He had such a great time playing with Big Daddy, Nana and Aunt Sarah during our visit.

Kolt also got to go to his first (of MANY) baseball games. However, we weren’t outside. The three of us went to the Southern Miss game their opening weekend and sat in one of our friend’s boxes. This was perfect because we were able to keep him in his stroller, ride the elevator up and stroll him right on in. He slept the entire game! People did not even realize he was in the room! This was special for me because this was Kyle’s first time being back since he played in 2009. I loved being able to see all of the memorabilia he had autogrpahed in the suite from the College World Series. I know Kolt is already so proud of his daddy!

I know people (including myself) say he is growing up so fast, but that is the only way I can even describe it! We feel like he changes every day. Kyle and I absolutely love when he makes new sounds, new discoveries, or physically does something new. We are constantly looking at each other and saying “did you see that?!” or “did you hear that?!”. Everyone that holds him quickly mentions at how strong he is! During the month he got stronger at holding his head up and trying to roll over. His little personality is coming out more and more every day. He is so silly! His precious smile brightens our day!

Also, during the month Kolt had his first Valentine’s Day. He got a card and outfit from Big Daddy and Nana and a card and book from Aunt Sarah. Mommy and daddy got him a card, a car seat toy and a rubber baseball. Mommy and Kolt went to school that morning to see daddy and visit. Everyone loved getting to see him. His class finally “believed” that he had a baby at home, since they hadn’t seen him in person!

I know this post isn’t the best with all of his achievements but hopefully I will be better with next month’s!

This captures his personality - reaching for my phone and telling me all about it!
