First Wedding of '09

Yum, Yum.. Cookies!!!

Madelyn loved her first teething 'cookie' they are so gross but I love these messy pictures... for anyone interested, here's a link to Lyndon's first Messy Cookie.

I don't know why Lyndon looks like he is hurt when he says cheese for the camera, but he got a cookie too, and of course needed his picture taken too.

Madelyn is 7 months today!

My, how time flies.  I can't believe how big she is.  I know, everyone says that, but it just happens so fast that sometimes it feels like you blinked and they double in size already!

Madelyn is a joy.  The one word that just about everyone uses 

to describe her when they meet her is sweet.  I remember I could feel her 'sweetness' before she was even born, and it is so great to share that wonderful spirit of hers with everyone!

She is happy and content most of the time

She loves her big brother, no one can make her laugh like he does.

She mostly rolls to wherever she wants, and she sits on her own when you put her down but she doesn't like it.  As soon as she realizes she is sitting she throws herself over.  

We joke that she is a princess and can't do these things herself, she wants to be pampered and waited on!

She 'talks' a lot once brother goes to bed and while we are riding in the car.

She likes the jumperoo, just like her brother (can't find a baby who doesn't like it, best money ever spent for sure!) 

She has just started eating some baby food, we don't like to start introducing too much too soon but she needed a little more sustenance and is doing well.  I got out the high chair today and she seemed to like the view :)

I think that just about sums up our 7 month old.  I know a lot of our family keeps up with us through this blog because we live so far.  It's great but you have to take my word for it or YOU COULD COME VISIT!!!

Fun with Frames

This is not an original idea.  I've seen it done plenty of times, but I just realized last night while I was lying in bed that I already had a frame I could use!  I was so excited to try it with Madelyn (since I didn't think Lyndon would be interested, but surprisingly he has really been into 'posing' for me lately!)

Anyway, in my head I guess I just thought the frame floated or something, I don't know, I tried to get Lyndon to help hold it but I never got the shot I was hoping for.  We had fun just the same and I thought these would fun to share!

I thought maybe I could just lay the frame down and put her in it... she doesn't really like to be put in weird places... I guess she doesn't catch my vision...
GOTTA LOVE SEQUENCE SHOTS!!!


Ahhhh, he loves his little sister :)

Going Private....

Hey, I think I'm gonna join the other smart private bloggers for my family blog.  I don't know why, I'm just kind of getting a little nervous about it.  So if I have your email you should get an invite, but if for some reason you don't think I have it or if you just want to be sure you can leave a comment!

My Joy, My Kids

Lyndon is 3years and Madelyn is 6months, what a joy they are to me!

I was taking Madelyn's 6 months pics and Lyndon volunteered to sit for his, that's amazing, and I love his little expressions I just wish I had a studio or something because the lighting is never quite right.  But that little face I just want to eat up!

How cute is this little outfit.  I don't think she much cares for the basket but how else can I get a pic of her, she refuses to sit up!
Always the 'jokester'
This one is totally maddi, my sweet little angel.
