Thanksgiving 2007

I got to eat good food for Thanksgiving - mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie.
I like to lock my toes on my highchair tray.

Madelyn and Adriana get along very well these days, they no longer make each other cry.
Yummy--whipped cream. Adriana couldn't even move the whisk away from her mouth to tell her mommy bye--she just talked through the wires.
Adriana helped Melinda clean the whisk after making whipped cream.

Running down the hall in my tails, catch me if you can and maybe I'll let you put pants back on me.

Madelyn says "duck"

Madelyn says first word while taking bath.

10 months old

Madelyn isn't crawling yet, but she has figured out how to push herself backwards. She got on the tile floor and figured she could go much easier than on the carpet (but it does give you cold hands and a cold belly).
Taking a break to lick the floor (is this a hint that Mom needs to mop?)
Madelyn usually sleeps on her belly these days

Fall Fun and Halloween

Mom and Dad raked all the leaves in the yard and decided it made a great backdrop for pictures.
I hear that giraffes eat leaves, but I just like to play in them.

In my Halloween jammies, cap and bib.

Playing with the pumpkins that are my size

Melinda dressed up like Raggedy Anne--after she got the wig and make-up on, Madelyn cried and cried and cried. She eventually decided it was okay.

Having fun playing in the leaves
I only tried to eat a leaf once...
...and it didn't taste very good!
We took a trip to the pumpkin patch to find some nice pumpkins for Halloween. Adriana and Madelyn got to take a ride in the wagon.

I think this looks like a good pumpkin

Grandma Freidenberger got to come out over the weekend and see all her girls. She got to be part of the trip to the pumpkin patch.
