Maddie struck this adorable pose for her Mommy after playing in the sprinklers for the first time this summer.

05.26.10 - We've been invaded!

Our house has been invaded by babies and all their stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

05.23.10 - Runnin' the bases

Maddie runs around the infield that I drew on the back patio while we played with some sidewalk chalk that she got for a prize at cousin Emerson's birthday party yesterday.

05.16.10 - Skinnie Pearl

Maddie got a new hat today and had to wear it on our walk tonight.


Seriously, do kids get any cuter than this? Nope, they don't!

05.09.10 - Building blocks

Nan and Pop joined us for brunch on Mother's Day. After we ate, Maddie showed Nan how to build a tower.


Nan was quite impressed!


And then the tables turned as Maddie started launching the blocks at her. Maddie just discovered throwing a few days ago and while it's cute now we're not sure how long we want to allow her to throw things in the house. It's harmless fun for now but I'm thinking that won't always be the case!


She's adorable even when she's doing something she probably shouldn't.


Ready, aim, fire!


If only you could hear her excitement!

Do I have something on my face?

05.05.10 - In the sandbox

Maddie enjoys playing outside while we make dinner. She spends her time swinging or digging in the sand. So far, she doesn't mind getting a little dirty!
