3 Months!

It's hard to believe that 3 months have passed. Makena is growing like a weed to put it mildly. She loves to give people big smiles and will make all sorts of sounds when in the mood. She has become a champion sleeper, and will go to be around 9:00pm and not wake up until 6:00am or so. Lets hope that's not a phase for her. We are out of the hip-harness for the daytime and only wear it for 12 hours at night. Her hair is growing in and sticking straight up, kinda like a Marine buzz-cut.

Can't quite sit up on her own for very long and is kinda top-heavy :)

Madelyn continues to be a very active 2 year old. Always curious about her surroundings and pushing limits whenever she can. Our neighbors have two goats and since it's Apple season we bring fallen apples over to them every day and watch them chow down.

New Sentences are tumbling out of her mouth daily, hear is what I can remember her saying. Most of these are repeated 20-30 times in a row, either she likes the sound of her voice at times or wants us to acknowledge what's she is saying.

Its another sunday night and this family is tired. To be honest, 3 out of the 4 have already gone to bed and are in sleepy-land. Mom is still up trying to get a few little things done while the house is quiet. I'm really too tired to blog much and don't really have the energy to form any meaningful sentences. So, I'm posting some random pictures I found, all taken in the last few weeks! More talk later...for now just pics.

Looking Cool

Maddy's cousin, Junior was in town a couple weeks ago. She was loving it!

Wyatt!!!

Well look what the cat dragged in!! I was on my walk with Makena the other night and found Wyatt hunting for a mouse in about 1/4 mile from our house. I ran home, grabbed a car, drove back, opened up the door and tossed him in. Back at the house we had to look him over a few times to make sure we were not cat-napping somebody elses pet. He's lost 6lbs and has some war wounds and a few chipped fangs from living outside these past 4 months. He's been mostly sleeping out in the garage since he came home 48 hours ago. We are more than happy to have hime back home.

Thankfully the weather has finally cooled off in Seattle, the heat wave was brutal. Makena is doing great. We are getting lots of smiles and some Coos out of her when she's well fed and happy. She's starting to go to be earlier in the evenings so we might get some time to catch up.

Hanging out in her bouncer

Look at those curls.

Speaking of catch-up, I did not even know we owned this many clothes, it's amazing how fast laundry can pile up with 4 people in the house now.

Kicking back

I'll blame this on Karin, that's cheese in our pantry, she did the same thing with Madelyn except it was string cheese in the utensil drawer.
