Madelyn dances

Madelyn likes to boogie!! Daddy let her watch Elmo's World and Big Big World one morning and she danced to the music.

Camping

We went on our first camping trip Aug. 17-19. Madelyn was literally a "Happy Camper." We went with Suzette, Ryan, Adriana, Grandpa and Grandma.

Happy to be hanging out with Dad in our baseball caps. Daddy didn't like Madelyn's bill hitting him in the head, so he had to turn her cap around.
Taking a nap in the tent. Madelyn got to sleep between Mommy and Daddy.
Adriana is making sure Grandpa is getting the tent up correctly.

Eating is messy but fun

The bib says it all, not to mention the thumbs up! Prunes are Madelyn's favorite.
Prunes are so good that we had to lick the dish (maybe she's been watching Wylee too much)
I'm so cute, even with food all over my face

Summer Fun

Playing in my new pool Daddy got for me. It has a palm tree, a ride-on dolphin, a ring stacker, a rainbow, and a whale slide!
Hanging out with Wylee in the back yard.
I'm a big girl now! Forget relaxing and watching the fish, I can get up close!
Sometimes Madelyn gets all sideways in the crib

Laughing at Boo

Madelyn loves to play peek-a-boo and she especially loves to be scared. When she's happy she likes to scrunch up her nose and breath in and out. He's a little clip to enjoy!

Adriana & Madelyn pictures

Suzette and Melinda took their girls to Sears to have their pictures taken together. It was a little bit of a challenge, but we ended up with some cute pictures.

"Buns -n- Roses"

How many adults does it take to get 2 babies prepped for a picture? It was not always easy to get the girls posed for a picture.

6 month pictures

Mommy took Madelyn back to Sears for her 6 month pictures. We got some great pictures! This one was one of Mommy's favorites.
This was the other favorite

Madelyn loves to smile

I'm a happy girl in my tub

I'm pretty cute with my dimples and rolls

Just playing with my toesies


I think that bear is wearing my hat

6 months old already!!!

I had my first taste of rice cereal on June 27. It took me a couple of days before I decided it was okay.
I don't know about the cereal stuff, but chewing on the spoon is fun!
Now that's pretty good stuff!
I can sit up all by myself!

I sleep just like my daddy, with my ankles crossed
I love to chew on chins and noses--it doesn't matter if it's Tigger's or Mommy's or Daddy's

My new tricks

My favorite new toy--my toes! They taste pretty good too!

This outfit was Daddy's when he was a baby. His Aunt Madelyn (Madge) made it for him. So it's Madelyn in Great Aunt Madelyn's outfit.
I'm starting to sit on my own. I still topple over easy, but I'm getting stronger every day.

Getting bigger ever day

Daddy and I looking so cool in our shades. Mommy finally found a pair of sunglasses that I don't mind wearing.
Madelyn is starting to sit up on her own now

Madelyn is very interested in drinking from a cup. She loves to watch mommy and daddy take a drink and is always trying to grab the glass. Here she tries her first sip of water.
This cute dress was mommy's when she was a baby. Great Grandma and Grandpa Bay bought it for her in Hawaii

Daddy set up my jumperoo--it's lots of fun!

Do you think I look like Dad?
I don't really like to wear shoes, but they are great to chew on!

Great Grandma Elizabeth wanted to hold me, but I wasn't as excited. Sometimes I can be a real Mama's girl.
