Maddie's been learning to drink through a straw although tonight she found it to be a better toy and utensil.

07.13.10 - Sprinkler mats, garden hoses and fountains, oh my!

You mean water shoots out of the ground, too?

To say Maddie has been into water play lately would be an understatement. Tonight she frolicked in the fountains at NewMarket Square.

07.10.10 - Keepin' up with Maddie

Or trying, at least! Tonight we took the kids to the Wingnuts game, Nate's first! In the beginning, Maddie was the model fan. She sat attentively and even clapped with everyone else. But, after awhile, just like in church, Maddie grew restless and she was off running 90 miles an hour along Row N.

06.29.10 - Who needs a swimming pool?

06.27.10 - Dress up

Maddie is starting to figure out how to dress herself ... sort of.

06.15.10 - Sprinkler fun

We took the kids out to the backyard tonight after dinner. Maddie wasn't so sure about her sprinkler mat at first.


Hey, this isn't so bad!


I'm thirsty!


I think water went up her nose!

06.08.10 - Don't climb on the sofa!

Maddie can get one knee up on the sofa but can't quite push herself all the way up. Sure it won't be long, though! Doesn't she look like she's getting caught?!!

05.28.10 - Little Mermaid

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.
