Cousin Maddy comes for a visit

We had a full house in March: Aunt Laura, cousin Maddy and Grandma came for a visit.

We took a trip to the zoo, the red wagon was a big hit. They all took turns riding. 

But the little Mamma's girl likes to be close to Mamma at all times. She usually demands to be in the sling - nice and cozy and she has a great view. No need for a gym membership anymore!

Checking out the baby elephant..

And then checking out each other...

Aunt Laura and Maddy

 Then more play time at home, sharing their toys with Maddy

Nate can get around really well pushing the lion, you can tell he just wants to be able to walk!

Chloe crawling through the tunnel

silly daddy - in the tunnel - squeals of excitement!

The "girls" playing together

Here fishy, fishy, fishy

Can anyone let us out of here?

Watching movies - all cuddled up

Trip to the park to round out the weekend fun. The swings is their favorite so far

didn't want to miss the aquarium..

WOW

On the move and into everything.

Let the cruising begin...anything he could hold on to was fair game- even Bailey at times.

January 2010. There are child locks on all the doors and cabinets, outlet covers and gates going up all over the house. They are on the move! Nate mastered crawling first, Chloe watched patiently at the best way to get it done after watching all Nate's efforts...




Then one day she was mobile. So many things to see! So many places to go!

Baby's 1st Christmas

Well, the big day finally arrived and we were all ready. The christmas lights were hung, the tree was decorated, the presents were wrapped, Mimi and Papa arrived and the babies were in their Christmas best.

This was the pre-Christmas photo shoot for our holiday cards - so much fun, great poses.

It was an incredible day. Even Bailey had a special hat and matching pout.

The Tree decorations and ornaments kept Nate occupied, he could roll right up under there and kick the ornaments and grab the wrapping paper. It was grand! I tried propping and posing these 3 for a very long time.

We Trimmed the tree with Mimi, Papa, Antie CC and Uncle Rob.

Enjoyed by us all.
