Easter, New Pictures, and a Video


Madeline LOVES it outside! She loves the wind and crawling around everywhere. She does start to realize after a minute that the concrete is scuffing her knees if I've forgotten to put her in pants--she will then start crawling on her hands and feet stink bug style!


She also loves to eat ANYTHING she can get her hands onto--seeds from our decorative grass, wood chips, rocks, etc. She's even tried to pick up a bug--luckily I saw and was able to intervene!

Here, Madeline is looking out the front window trying on her Easter dress (ok, so it's really not an Easter dress...it was just really cute and spring-y and fun!).


The boys in their "house"--the small space between the couch and the bookshelf. Usually that is where the bean bag chair goes, but they have claimed the space as their own!


Madeline loves cottage cheese!!



Here is a picture we took right after we got home from church on Easter. Benjamin is in his new church clothes (totally snazzy!)--Seth and Madeline had just woken up from naps on the way home in the car. Amazingly enough, we got this picture in just one take! (Granted it took several bribes to Seth (cheese, milk, crackers, Thomas movie) to get him to sit down and stop screaming and monkey still was in the picture--but at least monkey wasn't in front of Seth's face!)
Just in case you were wondering, no, the monkey doesn't have a name--he's just monkey or red monkey (since Seth has at least three monkeys!).



Here is Madeline modeling her new shoes (her first shoes as well!). She is standing up really well and will take a step or two independently before plopping down. She will walk quite quickly holding on to anyone's hands (including Benjamin's to his great delight!). She has taken 6-7 steps altogether without falling down.

This is my absolute favorite! Seth is being chased down the hall by Madeline! Seth is somewhat paranoid about Madeline "getting" him and of course she loves to!


Enjoy!
