It's the Weekend!

Some pictures from earlier this week:

Friday:
William has been requesting to sleep in his big boy bed for a few days so Mommy and Daddy asked him if he wanted to "get his crib out of here" and he said yes. Daddy and William took it down this morning and it is going out to Chautauqua for Madelyn! Potty training, big boy bed. William is growing up FAST!

Mimi and Papa came over to watch Madelyn and William while Mommy went to the dermatologist. Mimi did a great job getting Madelyn to sleep for her nap. Papa enjoyed Madelyn once she woke up. She was smiling and starring at him for 5 minutes before she decided to play. Mimi was impressed with Madelyn's ability to climb over her legs to get a toy she wants. William enjoyed many books with Papa and showed how great of a big brother he is.

Mommy, William and Madelyn went to Katie and Safina's for a short visit. Madelyn chewed on toys as Safina and William chased each other through the living room and kitchen. They have so much fun together. William was a little grumpy, but he had a poop brewing.

William went down for a nap, but never fell asleep. Mimi and Papa came to pick him up to go to Chautauqua for the night. When they left, Mommy and Madelyn went grocery shopping.

Mommy nursed Madelyn long enough for her to fall asleep in Mommy's lap. It was nice for Mommy. She doesn't get to do that with Madelyn as often as she did with William.

Mommy and Daddy rearranged William's room now that the crib was out. Such a big boy!

Saturday:
After a couple errands, Daddy, Mommy and Madelyn made their way to Chautauqua. William was happy to see everyone. Mommy, Daddy and Madelyn missed William too!

Lots of outside time. Daddy, William and Papa did some fishing. Some at the end of the dock and also out on the boat. William enjoys reeling in the line, but doesn't want to touch the fish. Not much luck. A couple small perch.
Madelyn is such a squirmy wormy. Mimi predicts that she will be a dancer or gymnast since she never stays still. She loves to stand. Standing in your lap, standing on the floor (with assistance, although she is getting stronger), standing on the table, anywhere and everywhere she enjoys standing. Again, once she is mobile, Mommy is in TRROOOUBLE!

William is doing well with the potty. No accidents lately. He is still working on timing for poops, but he is at least going in the toilet.

Mimi, Papa, Daddy and Mommy enjoyed conversation around the fire. William climbed out of his bed after his CD was over and came into the sun room and said out the screen door, "Where is everyone?" Oh, my goodness. Everyone laughed. Mommy and Daddy didn't catch the end of the CD to turn it back on so William took matters into his own hands.

Sunday:
Back home to get ready for the week!
