Rain, Rain....Don't Go Away?
So my mom shared something fun for us to try while we are rained in for the past day or so; yogurt finger painting! Just add food coloring and then the little ones can have fun without worrying about them sneaking a taste. AND not sure how, but the colors don't stain!!! So let it rain all day because we are still having fun anyways :o) Here's some pictures and a video from our fun today. At the end of the video she heard thunder and that's what she does when she hears something. Can't really see her face, but she makes the "Ohh" surprised face while pointing to her ear. P.S. Does her outfit look familiar to anyone???

4, 3, 2, 1 and new baby!
So this past month, my
family had the opportunity to have all FIVE great-great grandchildren together.
They are all a year apart (ages 4, 3, 2, 1 & new baby) and it was amazing to
have them all together. One from Florida, one from Kansas and 3 from North
Dakota. Just wish we had our cousin, Gunner, who is in Germany :o( So my grandfather gives out
nicknames to everyone and I thought it would be cute to get shirts made with all
the names on them and then to get a picture…….shirts – easy………names on them –
easy…….picture of all of them together – NOT so easy! But they are kids and
this just adds character to all these memories we capture!!
Well, it is June and it is
hot and Madelyn is talking up a jibber-jabber storm! Sure, we have no clue what
the child is saying, but by golly she is telling it! She weighs approximately
22 pounds and is 31 inches tall. She is on the go, go, go and is
talking the whole way there. She repeats single words you say like duck, yes,
bird, nana (not sure if this is banana or NaNa…..),
PaPa or making animal sounds like the horse, duck,
pig, etc. We even got her to say I love you along with hand
motions but it is more of the hand actions than the actual words that makes it
right. And then with all that; she’ll then just start talking
using her own little language. It is honestly the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.
She’ll also do it when she pretends to read a book or to talk on the
phone. For any that knows, she’s said the word “DaDa” for a loooonnnngggg time and
I guess MaMa just wanted to believe that it was
babble, but I have come to accept that it was the first word. Enjoy DaDa :o) She also starting winking at people,
or so she thinks she’s winking…..
Lastly, at about 14 months the child brought in 4 molars and I had no idea what all the fuss (literally) was about because I was looking for the next side (canine) teeth to come through. Little did I know that the molars come in first. Boy were things rough there for a little bit until during a crying rage I saw them shining bright! Geezzzz—there should be a flag or something that pops up to let you know :o) We’ve been spending a lot of time in the water. I think she’s part fish since she absolutely loves it!I think the best was when she figured out how to splash in the water herself. So funny her little kackle :o)
