I'm so happy!!

Madeline is working on sitting up on her own, so I've tried to set up a little place that will be soft when she inevitably falls over. All her toys are around her and she's getting better at it every day. I can't believe how fast she's growing!

Here she is this morning looking pretty happy about how things are going...

The book she's holding is a "Little Mermaid" book that is one of her favorites. She gets so excited when she sees it. We may have an early obsession either with books or with Disney's animated movies...possibly both. I'm OK with that.

Davis's B-Day

We celebrated Davis's 6th birthday today...I can't believe he's already turning 6! He wanted to go to Shankz to play black-light miniature golf and we had a blast. He had so many sweet friends come to celebrate with him - this was an AWESOME day for him!

Andrew is taking this shot very seriously...

Sweet Big Brother

Andrew and Madeline get a lot of time to hang out on the days he's not at school and they have a great time playing together. He keeps her laughing A LOT! She thinks both her brothers are fascinating and hilarious. Andrew is very loving and sweet with Madeline, and these pictures really captured that today.

Pretty in Pink

Madeline dressed up a little today in a new dress, so I propped her up to take a few pictures. She was having fun chillin' on the pillows!

I love papaya!! (Sort of...)

Madeline had her first taste of papaya this morning. It's hard to tell, but I think she liked it. I think she was surprised that it wasn't carrots, because she's been having only carrots for a few days. Since I'm trying to give her only homeade baby food, her variety is limited by my productivity! I better get to blending!!!

We love leopard!

Well, I love leopard, so by default, Madeline must as well...at least until she is old enough to protest. So far we're ok on this matter. She seems to be happy. It's just a touch of leopard, anyway. Just wait until the weather gets cooler!

Now you see them, now you don't...

Wow - all in one week - Davis started Kindergarten and had his first two teeth pulled! I guess that's how it goes. I don't think he realized why I was taking the first picture before we went to the dentist, but he was so proud afterwards! He's lovin' the tooth fairy!
