Ahhhhhh

What a good helper

Look Pa, no hands!

Joe's work in progress

My brother Joe is in the middle of his thesis project at CalArts and I think it is turning out really great. Check out his awesome new puppet, Fern!

Every time we'd hit a key on her play table, she would do this...

Madison has teeth!

Just so I don't forget when it really happened, Madison has now joined the world of people with teeth... sort of. Her two bottom middle teeth broke the surface late last week. If you look reallllllllllyyyy close, you can sort of see them :) It's funny how proud of those two little teeth I've been. Every time I see her I'm craning my neck trying to get a peek.

I'll post a picture as soon as they can be captured on camera!

Asha + Mira

Even though they wouldn't let me anywhere near them, mom saved the day and got some giggles out of them. Who knew juice boxes were the magic key.

Halloween part 2

I finally talked Adam into dressing up with Madison and I, and I think our outfits were awesome (minus a few wardrobe malfunctions with Adam's, due to his height, ha!)

Mark, Steph, and EVAN!

These guys popped by our house over the weekend for a quick xmas card photo shoot. Everyone was a good sport about the fact that it was minus 5000 degrees outside!

On a side note, I'm seriously jealous of Evan's eyelashes.

Watch out world...

Because Madison Marie can now stand up all on her own! Where did my baby go?

Box Carrrrrrrrrrrrr

Halloween part 1

Today was Madison's very first Halloween party! She's got three left to go, so I'm sure there will be plenty more pictures.

Cutest. Fairy. Ever.

 

Dressing up

I think Madison might like dressing up just as much as mommy does. I ordered her this adorable ruffle onesie and it FINALLY came in the mail, so we had to do a photo shoot. Plus, my friend Tanya gave us the great idea to stick a little bow to her head with honey, since there isn't enough hair to pin one to. So, this is her first debut with a bow :). She may or may not have found eating the flowers to be the most exciting part.

Peekaboo!

More Gavyn

Last night I found a bunch more super cute pics of this little guy, and had to share :)

Party at the pumpkin patch

Madison loves going to parties, and this one was extra awesome, because one of her buddies (Nicholas) was turning the big #1. We all met up at Curtis Orchard, ate apple donuts, banana cake, and cider (Fall, I heart you). Emily did a great job with all of the decorating and planning—the theme was sock monkeys and the weather couldn't have been better. I'm so glad I got introduced to all these great ladies (and their husbands and kiddos), so thanks Rachel for that one!

Happy Birthday Nicholas!
