Riding in my Red Wagon

We went to the zoo and Madelyn and Connor rode in the wagon together. It was too cute not to share. I think people probably thought they were twins as they are pretty much the same size.  Now if only I could find a wagon!

Love her!

I love putting Madelyn to sleep. It's our special time where I give her a massage, nurse her and read her a book. Brian was nice enough to capture this.

Drinking out of a BIG cup

Madelyn likes drinking out of a big cup and she's doing pretty good at it although sometimes she forgets and dumps water EVERYWHERE (then we call the dog over for clean up). But while she was taking a bath she starting trying to drink out of her shampoo rinse pitcher. It was too cute!

Where's Madelyn?

There she is!

You are supposed to drink out of this, right?

So much fun!

Are these Chinese kids?

Brian went to China for about 7 days and I got to live the life of a single parent. It was exhausting but we made it through.  He brought these clothes home for the kiddos.

Madelyn (8 mo), Juliana (4) and Connor (16 mo)

While Brian was gone, Aunt Beth brought pizza over one night and got to watch Madelyn try pizza for the first time. She liked it...not that I am surprised

Swimming

Connor and Madelyn are taking a Aquatots class. Madelyn is actually young for the class as it's 12-24 months but they let us sneak her in so she could play with her cousin, Connor.

Some more fun photos

Just a bunch of random photos for you to enjoy:

I thought this was very artsy the way I got her face in the mirror.

She doesn't really jump but twirl and hang.

Trying out the hiking backpack

Opps we forgot mittens so Madelyn wore mine.

We love your thumbsucking Madelyn!

Teaching Connor to suck his thumb

Madelyn was all smiles for Connor

I want to touch the fan!

Hi I wave now!

I have no teeth here...don't you love my gums!

Giving daddy high five

I like to pull my socks off and hold them. It comforts me.

My two favorites off the refrigerator: the dancing Irish Girl magnet and the Dry Erase Marker

  I am not crawling but I love to do airplane on the floor.

Double Trouble: Connor brought the phone to show Madelyn

She was obsessed with this pear.

She had fun but hasn't really wanted to eat it again.
