Yes, she eats a lot!

We don't see our little girl much and most of the time she is home it is spent eating dinner before she is whisked off to bed.

Banana in her hair that looks like a cute hair bow

She is good at picking up little things now

I am hungry can I eat this!?

Lots of clapping at the dinner table

I love stir fry like mommy!

Eating granola and yogurt like daddy

Even using the spoon!

Where do kids learn this!? I am blaming her cousin!

Cute Moments

 A few random but cute moments.

Before Madelyn had figured out how to crawl, she scooted herself back into a corner and since she couldn't move backwards anymore, she decided to read. It was too cute:

Naptime with Daddy :)

Why are kids fascinated with dog bowls? I put her down thinking she'll pull up on the chair and she grabs the bowl instead.

Trying to pull herself up.

Thanks to Mili for this cute outfit!

Yes, I found her sleeping with her feet up on the side of the crib.

I crawled to the cell phone!

I love taking magnets off the fridge

Madelyn has learned to open and close the cabinet doors.  And sometimes she rearranges things for me!

 

I love my table :)

Madelyn and Eliza Go To The Zoo

Madelyn and I met our friends Jennifer and Eliza at the Philllips Park Zoo. It's a small free zoo in our area.  The girls saw a Mountain Lion, Llamas, and a peacock.  They seemed to like the turtles the best  or standing at the glass (who knows!). Here are some photos from our day.

Eliza turned and gave a big smile. Madelyn wasn't interested in photos.

Watching the turtles swim

Eliza and Madelyn enjoying the zoo. It was a little chilly out.

There was a park so the girls went swinging!

Madelyn loves the swings!

The girls shared a snack. They loved stuffing their faces with puffs and yogurt melts.

More videos

Now that I figured out an easier way to upload and post videos here are few more cute ones!

Madelyn likes to mimic her daddy who runs his index finger across his lips to make a sound.  Madelyn is so cute in this that I bet you'll want to do it too!

This video is for all those who played bells in church (Leighann Daihl!). I found this awesome set of 8 bells at a resale. They are actually musical bells with a full octave that is labeled.  I am sure Madelyn will improve as she practiced more.

Madelyn loved her Pasta Bolognese. She even licked the bowl after it was empty.

Get your dance on!

Some fun videos that work!

Let's try this again. I hope these work!

 Brian taught her to blow her lips. She is very good at imitating.

Madelyn started crawling on Saturday, April 21st. Here's a video of the second time we saw her crawl. She is a lot more coordinated now. You'll notice that in the beginning she is blowing her lips :)
