My Little Big Girl

We got faster internet a couple weeks ago so I decided I don't really have an excuse not to update our blog a little more often. I just wanted to share how BIG Madeline is getting...

Now that she is a big girl, she LOVES to cook. Whenever we cook anything, she has to pull the stool over so she can stand on it and "help."(Don't think we are bad parents. We know there are all sorts of levels of dangerous in this picture. We watch her very closely.)
Cheese is her favorite food. (Again, we know, probably not the safest.)


Okay, I made the cake. She's not THIS advanced, but she put the candles on.


Madeline is also a big girl because she lets me do her hair better now. This is what it normally looks like...(sorry it's blurry)

A few weeks ago she sat very nicely while I braided it. I love love love braids on little girls. She looked so grown up!


Another reason Madeline is a big girl now is because she is going to be a BIG SISTER in October! This is how she reacted when we saw my friend Danielle's baby in December. I know she will be a good older sister. She loves everything related to babies.

My official due date is October 18. So far I am feeling SO MUCH BETTER than when I was pregnant with Madeline. I have felt a little nauseous and threw up once (tmi?) but with Madeline I was throwing up every day the whole nine months. I am more tired than last time but I also wake up at 4:30 every morning, work all day, then chase an almost two year old around when I get home. Maybe being tired is to be expected.

We are very excited to welcome in a new little boy/girl to our family soon!
