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!

04.25.10 - Maddie's Easter dress

Maddie is fascinated with buttons lately especially those on her Easter outfit.

04.24.10 - Another trip to the zoo

Today's trip to the zoo found us in Africa. We're pretty sure this Gorilla was just sleeping!


Hey, Mr. Gorilla! Wake up!


Lions, oh my!


Do you see any resemblance to anyone you know?


At one point, someone commented that this was the cutest hat they'd seen. Hey! What about the little girl wearing it?!!


Maddie did well riding in her umbrella stroller for most of the outing. But near the end she got fidgety so we let her walk to the exit.

04.19.10 - Head of the table

Thanks to her new booster seat, Maddie joined us for dinner tonight at the adult table and she loved it! (So did Harley!)

04.13.10 - M-a-d-d-i-e

Maddie's penmanship is coming along quite nicely. ;) She even remembered to dot her "I."

Thanks to our neighbors, Tori and Andrew, for letting us use their driveway as a canvas.

04.11.10 - Buffalo Park

We took Maddie to Buffalo Park today. It was her first time to visit a park. She led the way just like she new what she was doing!


Angie shares a moment with Maddie while pushing her on the swings!


Daddy's turn!


An afternoon at the park can make you really thirsty!

04.10.10 - Little Lady

Every once in awhile, Maddie does something that makes me pause, realizing that she is growing up. Today was no exception. While drinking her afternoon milk, she crossed her legs like a little lady. Now, how cute is that?!!
