Just some random pics of everyone!

Today I thought since I haven't updated in a bit I will just put up some pics of everyone for some viewing pleasure :)

Enjoy.

The CUTEST thing you have ever seen!!

Madison is working hard on moving. She gets up on her hands and knees and rocks. Then she will slip and slide or roll, anything she can do to move. Well, last night she did the cutest thing that I have ever seen. I will try to upload a quick video. Watch it and see if you agree!!

This is just a short clip but she was doing this over and over to move.

I have NEVER seen a baby do this before and I have seen lots of babies. She is absolutely adorable!!!

Madison on the Move

Madison is on the Move!

Oh my oh my, Miss Madison is moving and grooving.

The pictures above are showing how Madison gets out of her bouncer, watch out!! She now must be buckled in to anything that is not on the floor. Crazy little girl!!

Within the last two weeks she has gotten really good at rolling but has also started wiggling her way everywhere. The cutest (but most frustrating) thing is she gets up on her hands and knees and rocks........she is trying sooooo hard to go someplace but then usually just flops down on her belly. Poor little thing, she get so frustrated sometimes. Many times she will go up on her knees then goes down but slides backwards. You put her in the middle of the floor and before you know it she needs to be reset in the middle because she has reached a wall of some sort. The good thing is she wants to be on the floor playing and needs less one on one in lap time which makes it much easier to care for everyone else's needs.

Go Madie Go!!!

Steve and Kobi's Visit!

Visitors!

Last weekend we were so lucky to have Steve and Kobi over to visit!
The boys had a blast, they sure loved Kobi and at first she really loved the attention. They had fun playing the Wii, going to play basketball with Uncle Steve and David, playing catch.There are a lot of boys to share Kobi, towards the end of the weekend I think Kobi was hoping for some downtime from the boys but they are pretty persistent. LOL. Uncle Steve had a great time with Madison and Madison loved being held and having Uncle Steve's attention! We cannot wait for another fun weekend with the Meiers. Here are some pictures from our weekend together below!

Just how many?

Just how many different things can our beautiful opportunistic 2 year old get into??
Wowza! I decided to make a list just so everyone else can have a taste of my world without the mess. I know, Mom, you have already had your taste with me and this is my end of the mom curse, you know, the one that goes....."I hope you have a child just like you one day"

Just in the last 2 weeks or so........
(usually while I am taking care of a Madison need)
Ben has.......

• Made his own chocolate milk

• spread uncooked spaghetti all over the living room

• made his own concoction of Trix and garlic salt on the kitchen counter

• got his own Wii game (from the kitchen upper cabinet) out and played

• got out potatoes and a butter knife and had the knife almost completely through the potato

• made his own cereal with a full gallon of milk (ended with 1/2 a gallon) :(

• played with chilli powder and tabasco (luckily he couldn't get the tabasco lid open)

• scaled the game shelf to get a game on my eye level

• got into Mark's pokemon cards and spread them all around the lower level

• sat on the edge of the counter (still not sure how he got there) and played with the things in the sink and on the microwave

• made his own cinnamon sugar toast...this was after I made him cinnamon sugar toast he decided there wasn't enough butter or cinnamon sugar

• got extra bbq sauce for his chicken at dinner and filled his plate

• on David's bday while we were getting plates he just had to taste the pie and ran two fingers across the whole thing for a taste

I am sure there are more but those are the ones I can think of.......
yikes, wears me out just thinking about it.

Just a window into the life of our wonderful 2 year old. He definitely keeps things fresh and us ready to clean up messes :) And, keep in mind these are the messes that happened, not included all the many many messes that we prevented :)

I would love to be able to read his mind for one day.......wouldn't you???

Love you all!
Miss you all!
