Cool baby.

Birthday girls in matching jammies

You all remember Baby Kathryn, right? She's my birthday buddy. This year I turned four and she turned one. We just happen to have some matching jammies, so we decided to get together for a little photo shoot. Now she can crawl, so it was pretty hard to catch us in the same frame!

A few weeks ago, Mommy went to visit her friend Sheralyn WITHOUT US. We were a little lonely, but we liked getting to spend all of our time with Daddy. One complication Daddy hadn't considered when he said Mommy should go was that he had to do our hair by himself. I think it turned out ok, don't you?

Madeline and I like to make lots of silly things with Play Dough. Here, Madeline is sporting a mustache just like Daddy's! Well, sort of like Daddy's.

Bedtime Songs

Here I am singing my favorite new God Song.

I only made one mistake. I don't know why everyone was laughing...

Silly Madeline Sophie

pfffffffft

Madeline decided that she would be a camel, too. We all know that camels stick out their tongues and spit! She was very pleased with herself. Too bad we didn't see that smile earlier today when trying to take portraits. Psst, Madeline says thanks for the dress, Nikki.

Daddy's a camel

Last night, our friends Jacob and Luke came over to play while their Mommy was out. Daddy did his best to wear us out. We took turns riding on his back-- that got old, so we stopped taking turns and all piled on at once.

This week, the letter of the week is "B." Since blog starts with B, I thought I would write an entry about all the things I have that start with the letter B. In the picture, see if you can find Belle, a box, a block, a blanket, a ball, a bag, a bear, beans, a book, a basket, a baby, a bead, bacon, a bowl, and blue.

Madeline likes to play dress up and practice ballet with me. She usually wants to do everything I'm doing, in fact, unless of course I'm trying to get her to do it. I think she could use some tips on the whole ballerina thing.

Hide and seek

Where's Madeline? Peekaboo!

Everybody needs a Daddy for a pillow

Madeline has been having a lot of trouble sleeping the last couple of months. It makes Mommy and Daddy kind of tired and grumpy. Sometimes they get so desperate for her to get some rest so she can be in a better mood that they'll let her sleep anywhere at all.

Hi.

Just for you, Uncle Kevin. Sorry, we didn't save you a piece.

Still more presents

These are from Dan and Nikki, and I know they want to see us opening them.

Madeline was pretty excited, too. She got a CHOO CHOO and a tunnel to crawl through.

Another Christmas morning

Santa Claus was afraid our presents would not fit in the car (and that we would be too busy to open them all), so he left our presents under our Christmas tree at home in TX even though we were in NM. He left me a note so I wouldn't worry, but I was still relieved and excited to see them there when I got home.

I jumped up and down just seeing them, but I got REALLY excited once I realized what was in them. My own dressup clothes!

Tinkerbell and Snow White!

I tried them on right away, and now not a day goes by that I don't change clothes ten or more times. My regular clothes are hardly getting any use at all.

While we were in NM, Mommy and Daddy kept us running. We went to visit someone new almost every single day. We missed a lot of naps and had a lot of snacks. My favorite place to visit was Mommy's friend Gillian's house. She has two little girls just about my age. We spent hours playing together, mostly dressing up as princesses. When it was time for me to leave, the girls and I wrapped our arms around each other and cried because we wanted to stay together. I still keep asking Mommy to go back.
