Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice... and Pink

 

 

 

6 Months!

 

 

 

My oh MY it has been a big month!  Maddie grew two bottom teeth, has started waving "hi" and "bye", tries to clap and/or cheer... we're not sure which it is, scooches backwards, sits up unassisted before a very hard tumble down, has spoken her very first intentional words: up, Papa, Mama, and has started eating supper with us, except hers is run through the new Cuisinart.  Pork, chicken, sweet potatoes, peas, beans, carrots, pears, broccoli, avocado: Caleb thinks it's all quite disgusting.

"This is My ANGRY Face"

Maddie's angry face isn't complete without some heavy nose breathing and a wee little bit of fist pumping.

5 Months!

 

 

Maddie is five months old in these pictures.  She absolutely REFUSES to sleep through the night and makes up for the inconvenience with an abundance of smiles, her own version of straight-armed hugs and dive bombing kisses.  Belly laughs are still exclusively reserved for her brother.  Maddie's not much for mimicking sounds yet, but we can get in a mean match of making her favorite new face back and forth, see the post entitled "This is My Angry Face.

First Snow in Boise

Boise's first snow of the season didn't come until March.  We had BIG FUN at Camel's Back Park!!!  And just in case you were wondering, YES, he DID slide down the big hill, well, at least 1/3 of it anyway, and YES it went really FAST.

 

 

 

Flying High

Thanks to the internet, a piece of paper, stapler and a string,
we spent HOURS flying our homemade kite.
