Madeline at daycare

"During our Circle Time today, the children could use the color paddles to experience how our eyes see different colors. They can actually see how from three primary colors, many other colors are created. As you can see, Madeline enjoyed the experience." - Mrs. Jane

6 months!

Sophia is half a year old! Wow, how the time flies. New this month....

- she can sleep without her swaddle now

- she rolls onto her side with no problem, but then she stops short of going all the way. This doesn't surprise me though because she HATES being on her stomach.

- she is eating cereal and had carrots for the first time today.

Deep Water Story Time

Apparently Madeline needed her goggles on for story time.

Wacky Wednesday

Madeline loves to read books...... by herself, with us, at school. She just loves books. I've tried getting her on video before but she gets all camera shy. So this time I planted the camera so she thought she was alone. She obviously can't read the text so she makes up the words based on the pictures. It is adorable!


She is reading her new favorite book, Wacky Wednesday. On the first couple pages, there are shoes on the walls of the house and you'll hear her say that. Most of it is unintelligible, but there are some words you'll recognize.

Sophia finding her voice

Pay no attention to the other child screaming in the background. haha

Bath Time with Sophia

Fourth of July Weekend!

We had such a great holiday weekend! I wish all weekends were like this. We started out taking the kids to a local parade.

Madeline wasn't too into it. The whole time she was looking around wondering what the heck this all was. Then the school marching band came through and it was too much for her.

Fia did okay except when the firetrucks came through.

These clydedales where goregous!

Then we headed to Nana and Papaw's house for some fun.

Andy and Dave introducing Madeline to the fun of fireworks. Are snakes really any fun? They just make a big mess.

My family got together at my Aunt Pat's house. Madeline LOVED this car. Seriously. She would cry whenever another kid got in it. And she was in it all day.

The kids did some fishing at the lake.

No, Madeline didn't catch anything. She was done after 2 seconds.

Alexis was playing peek-a-boo with me.

We got a great family picture taken in spite of Madeline's frowny face! It's because of my cousin, Tom. She does not like him at all and he was taking the picture.

Madeline Funny

Madeline has been falling down a lot lately and scraping up her knee. It is constantly torn up and she loves to tell people about her boo-boo. It is very important to her.

So anyway, I’m giving her a bath last night and we are naming off body parts…..head, eyes, nose, mouth, ears, arm, hand, fingers, belly, legs, knee, foot, toes. I’m running out of body parts so I pause for a second. She doesn’t miss a beat and says, “boo-boo.” Hahaha. Who knew a boo-boo was body part?
