10 bites of yummy sweet potato+1 unexpected bite of tart applesauce=distraught baby....

Swing

Daddy and Daughter time on the swing. She knows to hang on to the chains, she just needs to figure out how to pump her legs!

The Chicken Whisperer

Madeleine communing with her feathered friends....

Thud.... I guess she still can't quite sit up on her own.

Cool in the Sun (thanks to our shades)

"Finally, a picture where I don't have food on my face!"-Madeleine

Happy Birthday!!

Madeleine is now 5 months. Happy Birthday Big Girl!! Enjoy those birthday prunes-yum and yum!

Peas!!!

Peas!!! What more can I say but "Pass the peas!!!"? I love them: Peas on my clothes. Peas on my face. Peas in my hair. I even like Peas in my mouth! More peas please!

Dads and Daughters

Here's a classic from the July 4th vacation. Two good looking Dads with two cute pink babies!

Dinner

Maddy got fed up with pureed rice gruel. No worries princess, your parents will take care of you...

If our little girl wants real food, real food she will have! Sorry you're too short to see your food, but get to work on that BLT and iced latte!

Messy Dinner

Miss Madeleine is a big girl now. Ever since her 4-month doctor's appointment she's been able to eat "real" food. (In a breast-fed baby's world, real food is pre-cooked brown rice gruel)

Unfortunately, she hasn't quite figured out how to deal with this new taste sensation, so she eats Cookie Monster style--food goes in, the mouth moves around a lot, then all the food spills out the front!
