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.

5 months


Our Kolt man is now 5 months old! We have had so much fun over the past month. There is never a dull moment with this silly little guy! He has the sweetest and funniest personality! Kolt has had an exciting month, with the biggest “change” being baby food. There is no doubt that our child loves to eat! So far we have not found a baby food that he does not like. (Granted we are still on the stage 1 foods) Usually, we cannot get the spoon in his mouth fast enough! He has recently started “helping” by shoving the spoon in his mouth..haha!

Play time is definitely more active! He loves to be on his tummy and play with his toys. However, he gets SO frustrated and mad when he tries to crawl and cannot get anywhere while playing. We know it will not be long before he is scooting around the living room! His new “finds” are his feet and toes. He loves to grab his feet and try to get those toes in his mouth, which is unsuccessful because his tummy gets in the way!

I absolutely love to read and always have. I strongly believe this is from my parents always reading to me when I was little. When I say read, I mean me critically going through the books..haha. I hope to instill the love of reading in Kolt. Even though he is only 5 months old, he loves to be read too. He loves looking at the pictures. Now when I read, he likes to take the books from my hands and hold it himself! Every night before we go to sleep, we pick out a bible story and a prayer to read.

As hard as it is to believe, out first baseball season at PCS has come and gone. We are so proud of all of the hard work and accomplishments Kyle has achieved this season. For the most part, he completely redid the field and it looks great! We have enjoyed being at the games and were glad that the weather decided to cooperate and let Kolt watch daddy’s last games. He stayed awake for most of the time and loved sitting in someone’s lap to watch the game. Pretty sure this was the ONLY season that he will sit still and watch a game! We were also able to go to another Southern Miss game, this time he was actually awake! We sat outside and he sat in our laps bouncing to the music and watching the game.

Kolt loves to go to Kyle’s grandparent’s house. He loves to swing outside! He recently walked in the grass (with help of course) and went and smelled Maw-Maw’s rose bush. This month Kolt also went “fishing”. While mama and daddy did most of the fishing, Kolt did pose with one of the fish! I’m sure he will follow in his daddy’s footsteps and want to be outside all the time!

Kolt blesses us more and more each day. He always has a smile for us and something “to say”. We thank God every day for such a sweet and healthy little boy. We look forward to seeing what this next month has in store for us!  

 Rejoice always,  pray continually,  give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. – 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18
Happy 5 months!
