Ok... So, I will catch up in picture form! :) Madilyn will be 17 months on September 17th... so I want to make sure that I don't have months worth of pictures to post by then... I will be able to post current due to the fact that I will catch up now. Here's the last couple of months in pictures:
We had our caregroup get together @ the bowling alley... we had so much fun! Even Madilyn and the other kids did a little bowling!
Here's Daddy and his little girl @ the bowling alley
Mommy and Madi
First attempt @ bowling w/a baby in the arms.... not such great results... :)
So, we tried a different approach, that Madilyn and all the kids actually liked!
We have discovered Madilyn LOVES Cracker Barrell.... below is part of the reason why.... :)
Here's a picture of the 3 cousins! Madilyn, Preston and little baby Brooks. This was the best one out of about... 10! :)
Madilyn likes to walk around in Preston's shoes when he visits...
They are just a tiny bit big....
Madilyn also gave Preston a short lesson in piano... they are beginning to become quite the duo!
Completely Gratuitous: Nap Hair... my favorite!
A few weeks ago a few of us parents went to Bouncerific and had a great time! Here's proof:
Madilyn's Grandma got her a kitchen set... and let's say, Madilyn is definitely learning how to pretend. Her favorite things though are taking stuff out, and putting it "ba" (back) over and over again.
This is RIGHT after she woke up, she wanted to play w/her kitchen set ASAP
Then we played with Madi's friend Caleb while his mommy had an appointment... and Madilyn was trying her best to learn how to share! :)
"No Caleb, this is MY step..."
"What are you doing with my toys? I will stand and watch you to make sure I approve..."
Every once in a while we pick up a Little Ceasars pizza for dinner on the way home from work, and Madilyn usually cannot handle that smell without being able to take a few bites... so, I get to sit next to her and watch her eat a piece of pizza... so, I entertained myself and wet her cute little hair a bit... she thought it was so funny! I then handed her the water bottle... and she soaked herself! So, hence the picture sans clothing....
My mom watches Madilyn while I am at work. She has a set of miniature tea pots and cups... and we have discovered that Madilyn LOVES having pretend tea parties! She's sooo cute!
Here is Madilyn's "How to have a tea Party" etiquette lesson:
Ok, pay attention guys.... this is important!
You pour the tea INTO the cup.... you won't always make it, but it's important to at least try.
Then you sip out of the cup... it's good to get most of it into your mouth. I wear a bib as a backup to make sure my clothing stays dry... it USUALLY works.
Every once in a while, you have to check if you are out of tea, it's not fun to run out!Then you sip out of the cup... it's good to get most of it into your mouth. I wear a bib as a backup to make sure my clothing stays dry... it USUALLY works.
After it's refilled, you replace the lid, and start over at point A! It's so much fun!
By Y'all, see you real soon!
