White babies can't jump

She loves to show us how HIGH she can jump. Only problem is, I don't think she's ever actually gotten both feet off the ground :). She is awfully proud of her "hops." And she usually says "JUMP!" when she's doing it.

"Wonder Pets, Wonder Pets! We're on our way...

to help a baby squirrel and save the day!" Sadly, Jon and I both have the ever-so-catchy theme song to the lamest kids show ever running through our heads on a daily basis. Maddie loves Wonder Pets and has started singing parts of the song too. Unfortunately, the 'takes' before getting out the camera were much better but you get the idea. :)

Everyone's entitled

to be grumpy sometime. Especially when it's early in the morning and you have a camera in your face. Not sure if that warrants hitting the camera though...

Fun(?) w/sprinkler

Okay, remember in the post below, how I said that Maddie loves water. Well, I think that we found the way in which she DOESN'T like water. That is, unexpectedly spraying her from a crazy sprinkler. She didn't realize that she could just walk out of the line of fire. She just froze and freaked while I shamefully snapped this picture.

Just a little fib

Lately, the response to every single question we ask Maddie is a resounding "NO!". Something tells me she's not telling the truth this time though. :)

Doll House

This is the doll house my grandfather made for me when I was a kid. It needs a little remodel and some mini Pottery Barn furniture ;). But we are hoping it is salvagable because she really seemed to enjoy playing with it.



Excuse me a second while I...(any mother will know that face ;)

New toy!

We got Maddie the fantastic (note my sarcasm) 'ball popper' from Playskool. She had played with it at a playdate and was fascinated by it. Now, that we own it, I think she finds it just plain annoying. She likes order and organization just like her dad! And just when she's got all the balls picked up and in their proper place, the stupid toy shoots them out again.

Mischief Maker

Maddie loves water. That includes the very clean water in the dogs bowl. Ick!





Just a cute pic of our cool kid!
