Cailee updates

Cailee loves playing in her play house. She's in and out of the door- looking out the window

Cailee is too much.... We sure have our handsful with this one. She is always on the go (like her mama)

And yes- she is still all her father (she rubs her belly like him too)!!!!

"Staged" Bike ride??

It looks like these two cute kids are having a good time in the summer sun... and growing fast! I can't believe they're already cruising around on bikes! Time flies...

Now Uncle Jeremy sent me these pictures of Avery and Chelsea on their wheels without any comments - so I figured I would provide more insight based on my observations.

-

I was wondering if these were candid photos, as Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Jackie's home was framed nicely in each shot - either a rare coincidence - - or a professional camera man staged this photo session with each child, to make it look like they were having the time of their lives (centered precisely in front of their own home). Now I could be wrong, but just fyi - - the bar is set higher for photos that come in from Jeremy, I expect more "candid" creativity from a guy that has carried around a camera since he was 10.

Maddie in the Mornin'

Here are some older pictures of Maddie, mom is out of town for the weekend... with the camera - - so I had to pull some pictures from the Maddie archive. These were taken about a month ago.

Mamma Mia!

Grandma was in town for the weekend, we all went out for a family style dinner... forgot Maddie's bib, but we were able to improvise.

Is this baby cute or what!

Look Mom, no hands!

Here comes Maddie....

There she goes!

Got it!

Maddie Update

Here's Maddie in the C's backyard having a good time.

We're having a hard time weaning her from the bottle...

Happy 1st Birthday Cailee!

Cailee was living it up on her big day! She certainly enjoyed her cake! The C's really know how to throw a party. As I opened the gate to their backyard, I thought I made a wrong turn and ended up at Disney World.

-

Michele and Rob - I'm sure you have a ton of pics, post some more when you have a chance!

-

Cotton candy or snow cone anyone?? It was a big hit with the kids, RobC did a good job manning the machines.

Riding in Style

A week after little Miss Madison's 1st birthday party, and she's still living the life of luxury. She really enjoyed her two mile journey on the new wagon from Uncle Jeremy & Aunt Jackie.

Maddie's Big Day

A lot of family and friends made the trip for Maddie's big day! It was nice to see everyone, lots of little ones were running around!

Yum! First time Maddie had a sweet.



She liked it!

The C's made the trip out here. Maddie and Cailee were catching up.

"This is my birthday, yours is in two weeks!"

Roberta?

Anthony, Madison, and Cailee minding their own business...

Evan, Isabella and friends.

Here's Brian displaying his patient parenting skills with his 3 little ones.

Happy Birthday Maddie!

Maddie woke up to her first birthday gift! The big party is tomorrow, so this is just a sample. Here she is inspecting the gift... with the death grip on her pink bunny!




Grandma, Jeremy, Jackie, Avery, Chelsea, and Nana are all in town now. Maddie and cousin Avery were having a good time playing together.

Look at that, or give me that now!

Maddie likes to point at things she likes, she loves fountains!


I guess there are pros and cons with her pointing skills. We still have to teach her some dinner table etiquette. Here's Maddie putting in a request for the bread roll on the table.

Gimme the Remote!

OK, how does this thing work? Dad just shut off Playhouse Disney!

I Swear I didn't do it...

Cailee has her own personality. She's either laughing, taking or growling at us. For the most part she's been a trooper with this teething business. She's breaking 3 upper teeth at once (poor honey).

Couch Potato

They don't call me Roberta Jr. for nothing ya know!!!

Avery's 5th Birthday!

Avery got his first set of wheels for his 5th. I hear he's already a much better driver than his father. He backed his new car down the driveway, without hitting Grandma's car, and took it for a spin around the cul de sac.

Maddie's Sick Day

Our trip to daycare was quite an adventure... let's just say it was a smelly car ride. After changing her clothes at daycare, I did a u-turn and took the day off. Sick day for Maddie!! Aside from the constant fussiness, the last hour or so has been really easy - - she hasn't moved from this position!

Kickin' Back

We tried to feed Maddie this morning, but she was more content sitting on the couch and taking care of herself! Here she is lounging on the couch eating her breakfast.

Maddie's Tupperware Party

Do they still have tupperware parties? I think I'm on to something, maybe that will be Madison's first birthday theme? ...something tells me that Mom wouldn't go for that.

Maddie Update - Movin' and Eatin'

Maddie will pull herself up now and "walk" with the lion... until something gets in her way, or she decides to just take a seat.

Big girl food, she LOVES cheerios!

Florida Trip and Easter Update

There is no denying who her mother is!

Avery loves roller coasters! The bigger the better. This is Avery on Splash Mountain.

-

Chelsea wears a diaper as an astronaut, just like NASA does.

-

Is there any other way to spend Easter than running around the house with a sugar high?
