Daddy & Cars

We've had a great weekend with friends and playing outside in this great weather. Saturday was so nice, we finally put their cars that Mimmy, Pops, Uncle D, and Aunt Jessie got for an early birthday present together & they loved riding around in them. We were able to go out with the Sciortinos Saturday night, and Madison loved David. He would say, "Go Cats!" and she thought it was hilarious--they better not be her first words, D.A.

The girls are getting so cute when Jeff gets home from work. As soon as they hear his voice or see him, it's a race to who can get to him first. They both climb all over him laughing and squealing.

D.A. with Macey--she warmed up to him after Madison showed her it was o.k.

Macey working on her sippy cup--she's getting pretty good with water--refuses to drink milk out of it though.

I got these shirt/dresses in Mexico--not sure if their heads will fit through for next summer like I was planning (Macey)

She's leaning against the couch--not standing on her own, but I think she will be soon.

Watching the puppy dogs--always allows me a little time to do something (notice Macey on her tip toes again and Madison's ball is nearby)

Home

We had a great trip to Mexico, but the girls are glad to be back at home--they love being at home playing, which is good--I'm a homebody too. They've been been playing with their toys, crawling, and climbing nonstop on all the furniture. Macey wants to walk so bad, she'll let go if you're not watching her. I think the trip got the best of Madison--she had 102 fever yesterday & was pretty pitiful. She would play for awhile, but mainly wanted to be laying with me on the couch. Luckily Macey was good and played by herself fine so I was able to cuddle with Madison when she wanted to. I think she is just run down by the travel--no fever this morning, but she's still a little whiny. Here's a few pics of them playing this week.

Trying to train them to love Disney--their favorite video is a Disney Sing-a-long, and Macey bolted to the ottoman to stand up and get a better view when I put it in last night.

This was before the trip--Macey was not ready for bed yet

Before the trip--we had gone to eat lunch with Jeff and naptime was not fun for me afterwards

(Sister, help me get out of here!)

Typical Madison--puts everything she picks up in her mouth to eat--I dig something out several times a day--not fun for me or her

Sweet smile--Mommy, I'm stuck

Los Cabos

We got back early Monday morning from a great trip to Los Cabos, Mexico with Jeff's family. Thanks for taking us BeBe & Papa! I was a little wary about the flights with the girls. They flew to Disney when they were four months old, but that's just 1 1/2 hours & they are more manageable at four months, but they did fine. Madison did great & I don't think she hardly whined or cried the whole trip except for naptime & bedtime. Macey was a little more of a challenge, but she was very good too considering all the changes. We had a great set up at the place we stayed for having four young kids. Our own little pool which was great. The weather was hot but sunny every day, so we were able to spend most of our days in the pool except for naptime. Macey & Madison loved watching & playing with their cousins Libby & Frances the whole time--they kept them quite entertained. The traveling going to Cabo was smooth sailing, the trip home was not so much, but we made it home after several delays, several blow-out diapers at the worst time possible (why is that always the case), and got in around 1:00 am and to bed at 2:00am. The girls have been sleeping in after an early morning bottle, so that's been extra nice. All in all we had a great time!

They had 3 exersaucers there for us which was great

They were pooped the first morning in Cabo after all the traveling
