15 Months

So the last few weeks have been fun...mostly spent battling pink eye and an ear infection. Let me tell you something. Eye drops and 1 year olds DO NOT mix. Especially not 4 times a day for a week. It was honestly starting to look like we were punching Madeline in the face. And right about the time we got the good drugs, I managed to get pink eye. Of course. Turns out those drops really do sting.

Yesterday we took the munchkin for her 15 month check up. She FINALLY hit 20 lbs and has grown about 3 inches. She's still in about the 5th percentile for weight. The doctor has finally decided that maybe we should look into that some more. Yikes.

We have mostly mastered the fork and spoon, depending on the day and mood. New words include please, thank you, and good doggie. Again, depends on the day and mood.

Good Friends

This picture is from Easter, but I think it's just too precious. We couldn't get one shot with all the kids looking the same way, but oh well.....

Snapperz

Surefire way to expell all energy from small child: Indoor playground! Snapperz in Lawrence is a great, cheap, clean place to get out all your sillies.

Spring Pictures

Our last round of professional pictures did not go quite so well. On top of the fact that Madeline had a chunk of her chin missing due to an unfortunate incident in the church nursery, the photographer was HORRIBLE. Not our normal awesome girl. A horrible horrible replacement. So here's what we scraped together.....

New Pictures

Since it's been a while since I've posted much, I decided to take the 2 hours I'm glued to the tv for the 24 finale to upload some new pictures. Enjoy!

My mom says this picture looks just like me when I was little. Since I all hear about is how much Madeline looks like Brad, I find that refreshing. Brad thinks she looks like Chuckie. Take that how you will.

Brad playing with his fancy new camera. I expect many more model-esque shots.

Showing off her fork proficiency and having cookies and milk with dad.

This pictures reminds me of a Peanuts cartoon. She looks very cartoonish and Ellie looks like snoopy.
