So Much Going On!

Posted by Ida , Thursday, July 29, 2010

Another week has passed. Wow!
Madelyn is 8 months!!!
And William is 90% potty trained. Still working a bit on pooping. He knows when he has to go it is just getting the timing down.

Last week in video and photos...
Madelyn in motion...rocking. Next, crawling!
William matched the colors of the puzzle pieces to the colors on the mat.
Who needs toys when there are cardboard boxes around?


Hammering the train track apart.
Friday night the family packed up the car and headed out to visit Aaron and Meredith at their lake house on Schickshinny Lake. Patty, Chuck, their new pup Marti, Eric, Maureen, Leslie and baby Abe were all there too.

Madelyn stopped in her new car seat on a potty break for William during the trip home.
Looking miserable. It's not that bad. Wait until September!

Andrew was at Chautauqua this weekend with a few friends when a tornado touched down in Mayville! Yes, crazy, scary. It would have been cool to be there, but super scary too. Mimi and Papa went to visit him on Sunday and she brought William a gift from Andrew. It was an inflatable balloon. William loves blowing it up. Madelyn also enjoys chewing and sucking on its legs and trunk. Thanks uncle Andrew.



Last week Madelyn moved into her big girl convertible car seat and William got a Britax booster. Getting so big! William's Britax car seat is in Daddy's truck. Daddy pointed out the fact that there is currently $900 worth of car seats between Mommy and Daddy's cars. Not to mention the one in Mimi's and the infant seat that Madelyn no longer uses. Ugh. Expensive.

Madelyn has been crawling backwards and getting aggravated when she isn't reaching the object in front of her. She is such a mover and a shaker. Watch out Mommy once she's mobile.


Madelyn is eating a peach in this video! Beware. Mommy was a bit shaky with this one - motion sickness sufferers: beware!

William received a package in the mail. What could it be?


Great William quotes:
William was between Mommy and Daddy. He first runs his finger across Mommy's forehead. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Stripes." Then he runs his finger across Daddy's forehead. "One, two. Stripes!"


Great...he's counting wrinkles.


Before bed...
William: "We have to go downstairs."
Daddy: "Why do we have to go downstairs?"
William: "To get my medicine."
Mommy: "Why do you need medicine?"
William: "For my temperature."
Daddy, laughing: "You don't have a temperature. You're perfectly fine."

Mommy, William, Madelyn and Daddy at Ecology and Environment's Family Wellness picnic. Madelyn and Mommy made it until 7PM. William and Daddy stayed later. William especially enjoyed his goodie bag!
