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.
The girls with their girls.
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 looks like a little angel on a cloud
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
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 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.
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
Madelyn's cut little feet hanging out of the blanket
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!
Four generations: Grandma Freidenberger, Great Grandpa Bay, Mommy and Madelyn
Great Grandma Elizabeth wanted to hold me, but I wasn't as excited. Sometimes I can be a real Mama's girl. 
We just got back from our first family vacation. We drove to Sedona, AZ. We had a great time. Mommy and Daddy quickly figured out that vacationing with a baby is very different from vacationing as a couple. We loved being able to spend an entire week together as a family. Madelyn seemed to grow and develop so much while we were gone. She really discovered her tongue and now she loves to stick it out and try to blow wet raspberries. She also enjoys playing with toys and using both hands to explore. We can get her to giggle by making faces, raspberries, and tickles. Being parents is so much fun!
This was Madelyn's first time swimming. She was very mellow--she didn't kick, splash, or laugh, but she didn't cry either.
Just kicking back and relaxing. Daddy is holding my new favorite toy. Mommy let me play with it in the toy store and I cried when she took it so she could pay for it.
What should we have for dinner?
I love flying! It's fun when I hit turbulence and landing is pretty cool too!
Vacation will wear a girl out
I'm so hungry that I think I'll eat Daddy's nose
Sometimes you just have to stop and smell the roses
This was Madelyn's first time in her stroller without being strapped in the car seat. She enjoyed being able to look around.

Daddy and I had a great time playing with the baby in the mirror
I love to stand these days!
