She's up and at it;)

It truly is amazing how much she has grown up in just the last few weeks!

She is a slow waker-upper;) But once she gets going there's no stopping her!

They just can't get enough of each other

She loved the "big yellow work truck"

Worker Girl

Honestly, she could swing ALL day and NEVER get tired of it!

She loves her swing. She just talks and sings and has a great view of what everyone is doing. She loves to call for Zoe;) She loves that dog so much it's crazy!

She likes to stop and talk to all the flowers

She always takes a moment to throw a few rocks on the way back in the house

Miss Gardener

This picture is pretty special because this is the plant we planted after we had our miscarrage. So, it is a memory of the baby we lost and the blessing of the baby we have, Madeline. Thank you Lord!

She LOVES helping pull weeds in the flower beds

Thanks Papa and Dedo (my mom and dad) for all the hard work that you did to make the yard look so pretty this summer....we love it and think of you, everyday!

She LOVES to swing outside on her swing

"Why did you stop pushing me?"

Like 2 peas in a pod

Here is Madeline's most recent way of showing affection..We call it the "backwards hug" ;) What a character!

The Girls

Miss Madeline showing her more serious side;) She is too funny!!!

Eating at Taste of Thai

Whenever we go out to eat Madeline spends the majority of the meal looking around and waving at everyone she sees. She is quite the social butterfly...hope we can keep up;)

Loving the Zoo;)

She didn't even care if the animals were real or not...She loved them ALL...especially the monkies!!

Madeline and her buddy Aleks

Our friends went with us to the zoo and they brought their wagon...the kids loved it...once again it was hot...check out how thrilled Madeline was by the end of the day;)

Walking with Daddy and loving every minute of the Zoo

It was so hot and humid we took off Madeline's shorts...I know you are wondering what kind of mother I am taking my child out in public with no shorts;)
