A Little Catching Up

We are having such a fun summer! It feels like Madelynn grows and learns something new every day. She is such a character! It's been awhile since I've posted, so here are a few pictures from the past several weeks.

The 10 month picture. I think we must have taken about 20 pictures and settled with this one!

Didn't try as long for for an 11 month picture!

Mommy and Me swimming lessons in June. Madelynn loves the water!

Daddy and Madelynn sporting their Sounders shirts for cousin Paige's soccer game.

These are a few of my favorite things ....

Les Gove Park -- again, LOVING the water! And this water was cold!

Les Gove Park -- playing the drums!

Daddy: What does the cow say?

Madelynn: Bvooooo

Love living next to the cows!

A Few Stats

Our monkey is tall! She's 29 inches long and in the 90th percentile! :) Daddy is also loving hearing "dadada" and swinging her around as she giggles like crazy. Madelynn loves playing peek-a-boo, and is "cruising" along and between pieces of furniture. We love you, sweetheart!

Nine Months

I know I say this every time, but I just can't believe how time is flying by. My baby is 3/4 of a year old (sorry ... math teacher)!! She's just so fun these days. We are so blessed!!!

It's getting a little hard to get the monthly picture with Madelynn on the move! We're having to be a little more creative.

Her laugh is the best!

Such a little monkey!

A few highlights from this month ....

First Mariner's Game

Dedicating Madelynn to the Lord on Mother's Day

Hanging out with Daddy ... such a big girl!

Into EVERYTHING!

Eating EVERYTHING -- Here she is in the nursery. Can I have more fish crackers, please?!

Yep ... spelling her name already! :P

The Month of April

"Sweet Pea" continues to be precious and grow and grow! Here are a few highlights of April ....

We spent some time in Birch Bay with Grandpa and Grandma.

Madelynn loves the water! The pool had really warm water, but the air was chilly. So, she wore a hat! :)



Easter Sunday

Papa gave Madelynn this bunny the day she was born!




Daddy's first softball game of the season

Mommy's Birthday

Looking forward to some warm days!!

Fun in the church nursery (really she fusses most of the time, but Grandpa and Grandma were in there with her this past Sunday .... :) )!

8 months old!! WOW!

We've had a busy few weeks!

A first of many I'm sure .... Madelynn stayed overnight with Grandpa and Grandma while Mom and Dad went to cousin Haley's musical. They had a great time, and Mommy kept Daddy from calling until about 8:00 Sunday morning! :)

First St. Patrick's Day!!!

To celebrate turning 7 months, Madelynn had her first fever .... The doctor said no infection, and she seems to be better now. Maybe she'll get more teeth! :)

Her newest "trick" .... Grandpa is a quick learner, too!

And, Madelynn's first soccer game. We had a great time watching Uncle Scott coach the team!
