madison's turn!!

since cole got his very own post, madi gets hers, too.

can't have the wee princess feeling left out now, can we??

although...

...if she stayed like this, she probably wouldn't notice.

only she can make a high chair look SOOO luxurious.
that's our princess!!
her chair is her throne.
and food rules.
(in case you doubt that, just see what happens when you don't refill her bowl fast enough- there's a lot of screaming and hollering and whatnot. complete chaos.)

miss big blue eyes herself.
sometimes i get lost in those peepers.
they're so deep...
and mesmerizing.

but she's got other things to do besides let people stare into her eyes.
like beat a shoe box into submission.
yup, she's a busy girl, she is!
what else is she busy doing?

• she says "beh-beh" (baby) and points to photos of babies. she LOVES them- she gets an excited grin and points so very dramatically... it's cute.


• the sippy cup is no longer her sworn enemy. she's making tentative peace with it. sometimes it still gets hurled to the floor, but there's much progress. :)


• is still in her rear-facing infant seat. poor girl.... she's got a good 4 1/2 pounds to go before she reaches the 20# mark and can face forward. she's realizing, too, that facing backward is boring. car rides have once again become loud. sigh. but, who can blame her?
