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?

-

Happy Easter!

Maddie's first Easter! She's really searching for something in there, can I put jelly beans in it for her to eat?

Thank you Grandma for the Easter care package.

Madison and Cailee - December '07

I finally got the pictures emailed to me! About two months ago, Michele mailed these pictures over of Madison and Cailee, along with some coupons. Upon careful selection of the coupons that we would benefit most from, I picked out my favorite picture:

...Cathy used the coupons, she said thank you.

"Pretty in Pink"

Our little Easter Princess! Cailee loves getting her pictures taken. She's always smiling for the camera (shes the next Paris Hilton).

"Roberta Jr"

Cailee not only looks like daddy, but acts like him too! Boy am I in trouble.

Growing Fast!

Another cold and snowy weekend. We bundled Maddie up and took her for a nice family stroll around the mall. It was a good trip, no purses were purchased... only bought 5 pairs of baby socks.



Maddie's starting to crawl around fast now. Although not a pro yet, she can pull herself up to standing - just needs to be enticed with a toy. She has also graduated to the big girl car seat! Two minutes into the trip - - out cold. Sleeps like her mother, with her mouth wide open.

Maddie gets what she wants!

No more bringing the toys over to this little girl. Maddie will dig until she gets what she's looking for. The bag is filled with all books...... and one toy. I guess she's not particulary interested in reading yet.

Daddy Daycare - Day 4

Madison got a little too comfortable in my spot on the couch! Now she has officially taken over every part of the house.

Daddy Daycare - Day 2

What a breeze! This is easy! Maddie and I have pretty much kept the same routine as when Mom is home... except for the music selection. Instead of playing the Baby Einstein songs before bedtime, I switched the playlist to some 80's hairband ballads. We sang some Poison songs together, she loved it!

Daddy Daycare

Mom's out of town for the week. Just Maddie and Daddy, no doubt about it - - my hands are going to be full!

Almost Mobile!

Madison hasn't been this bundled up in a home since she last visited Rob and Michele C's house! She didn't pull herself up, but if we give her a little boost she'll ham it up for the camera.


Up until last week, Maddie was content just sitting in one spot on the floor and crying if the toys didn't make their way over to her. Then out of nowhere, she decided to start sitting up on her own... and now she's starting to crawl in small doses! Making about 3 movements forward before she gets a little scared, and then sits back up. It looks like in a couple of weeks she's going to be roaming about! Time to baby proof the house!
