April, 2010 --My Girlies!

Easter Sunday was a blast! Kaitlyn spotted her Easter basket on Saturday. So as soon as she woke up on Sunday morning, she asked for was her basket. No surprises, here. She's just like her mommy.



Madelyn enjoyed eating the Easter grass in her basket and sucking on the fake eggs. She is so curious about everything. Eric and I are still surprised we have a baby with red hair. We like it, but just wasn't something we were expecting. Thanks, Uncle Les!

Some of the things Madelyn is doing are:

1. Clapping her hands


2. Crawling (she is now mobile) and tries to follow me around everywhere.


3. Coping noises and actions.


4. Jibber / jabbering. (aka. baby talk)


5. Smiling a LOT! (we say she looks around to catch a smile, just so she can smile back)

Kaitlyn:

As the big sister, Kaitlyn does a pretty good job. We have to remind her to be gentle with Madelyn and to share her toys. Madelyn is now trying to grab her stuff and Kaitlyn doesn't like this very much at all. Kaitlyn is looking so much older now-a-days. She is so eager to grow up. She insisted on picking out her own clothes and dressing herself. She tried real hard to do her own hair, but wasn't quite there. I don't want her to grow up so fast and am trying to cherish every moment I have together with her.

Being a stay at home Mommy has been the greatest JOY of my life. I can't believe I didn't do it earlier. This is the way it is supposed to be. Eric and I raising our babies and the grandparents loving them and spoiling them. LOL We are blessed with some amazing parents! Thank God for our firm foundation of Godly parents who are now outstanding Grandparents to our girls.

Well, I promise to keep up with the blog more than I have. Poor Madelyn --- Second born kids never get as much attention than the first-- but I assure you, she is loves equally.
