ten months.

i know, i know. madalyn will be eleven months in just a few days. gulp. almost one :( where did the year go?

anyways, ten months. i tried really hard to get pictures but they just weren't working. but here are some fun ones from her tenth month of life!

the girl is always dancing

happy 10 months!

oh madalyn! you are so sweet and spunky! you love love your brother. you love to crawl into his bedroom with your head swaying to wake him up from afternoon naps. you love to eat...a lot. you still only have two teeth but manage to eat a lot of solids. lots of veggies, fruit, quinoa, beans but no meat yet. you love to play chase and cars with parker. you like to hug big bird and then throw him. you are gentle yet rough. you moved into parker's room (into his closet) and are sleeping very well there. you still take two naps, one short in the morning and one longer one in the afternoon. you love when daddy comes home in the afternoon. the ipad and phones are your biggest motivator...you seem to find them even when up high. we love you, missy moo!

easter.

happy easter, everyone.

sorry it's been quiet on the blog front. we had a crazy march, starting with youth sunday to sickness, birthdays, meets, lots of work and prep for the fundraising dinner...i can't believe it's easter and april!

i'm happy things are slowing down and that we have this weekend to reflex on god's wonderful gift of salvation!

we dyed eggs for the first time

took lots of cousins photos :)

madalyn discovered by throwing the eggs she got goldfish!

"this egg is cold!"

nine months.

how did this happen? how did our little baby turn into such a little person?

this past month was full of changes!

madalyn began to crawl! days after turning 8 months, she was moving forward and loving it. there is no stopping her now! she is into everything.
she love to yell and scream (its like a game for her and parker), loves to chew on the farm animals and other toys. madalyn still only has two teeth! she is totally capable of sleeping through the night but still likes to make sure everyone else is not sleeping too long ;)

weight: 19lbs 9 ounces
height: 27 inches

loves: eating! chapping! waving! big brother parker, any toy she can bang or throw, loves to play with parker's toys (esp. if he is still napping!), story hour at the library, crawling very very quickly!

dislikes: being in the car a lot, avocado, mama or daddy walking away from her, being told hands off!

a day in the life of madalyn and parker

I haven't done one of these in a loong time. mainly because i haven't really had the time to sit and write. parker and madalyn certainly have been keeping us busy...along with work and other normal stuff! i should be working right now but i'm recovering from a cold and having a bit of trouble focusing so...here i am! lucky you :)

here is a normal day with our almost 9 month old and almost 2 and a half year old!!

7ish- madalyn wakes up. i ignore her for a little while but since she is in our closet its difficult to. she claps her hands when you enter to get her which is pretty awesome!

7:30 we're downstairs, madalyn plays on the floor while i drink coffee. parker usually gets up between now and 8.

8:00 parker eats a banana (nanaana) and watches george while madalyn gobbles up some oatmeal and prunes. i then make a smoothie for p and i. he drinks that and has yogurt or oatmeal or peanut butter on a spoon.

9ish- madalyn goes down for her first nap. while she naps, parker plays with his cars and trucks and i clean up breakfast, the kitchen or whatever else.

10:30/11- depending on the day, we either head to the park, story hour, m2m/story hr, or hang at home. if it's wednesday, parker goes to preschool by 9:30 and madalyn and i work in bellevue.

12:30- lunch! parker loves his peanut butter and jellies but has been know to eat my cheese and avocado sandwich :) I've stopped eating while they are up!
