Mattie in May!

Once again, I'm behind on updates and pictures. Here are a few pictures from May, and I'll soon post some more from June along with her 10 month baby book update!

So, Miss Madeline is not a snuggler...in fact, she rarely will even fall asleep on us. So, we had to capture these two moments!!!

And, it is also hard to get a photo of her with her eyes wide open. When she smiles she squints like her father!

 

Mattie loves to pull my hair - so, we have a lot of "action" shots that are super cute of me,

like this one:

But, it is ok, I love her anyway!

Example of the squint smile:

A great pic of Mimi and Mattie:

But, it wasn't easy to take:

And Jeff and I have finally had a few nice date nights! Huge thanks to our babysitters!

Happy Mother's Day! (I just realized I never posted this!)

Happy Mother's Day to the best Mom's in the World! Thanks for setting a great example and for being an excellent Grandmothers!

Mattie's new face and some more laughs

So, over the last couple of weeks, Mattie has started making this new face. It is hysterical. She started one night at dinner. Our neighbor Courtney finally caught it on camera. Please ignore the audio...apparently, I was totally not paying attention to my child.I'm not surprised she made the face on command for Courtney, Mattie has always loved her and has smiled at her since she was a newborn. We just crack up at this new face:




You never know what will make this child laugh. The paper tearing trick only lasted one night, and we have tried tons of other things (which have worked) ut never long enough for us to get out the camera. We were trying to capture video of her crawling and starting to walk....of course, she was not interested. However, she loved it when I did a little head banging and hair swinging.
