It has been a couple of weeks of not much going on in our house. When it has not been raining, we have enjoyed playing in the backyard. We have had some friends over on a couple of occasions to play in the play yard. "Brown" Matthew (Maisy calls him this because of his hair color) had lots of fun opening and closing the gate and sliding down the slide. Maisy became frustrated at one point and decided that she would sit in the middle of the yard and cry! But Mommy saved the day by bringing out the water table for the kiddos to play in! "White" Matthew (Maisy's toe-headed cousin) stopped by for a short visit and got a chance to play too! He had fun playing and really liked our dogs.

In other news, Maddie has been working on sitting up! She is doing a really good job, but is not quite there yet. She falls over after a minute or so of sitting there. She has also been enjoying her bumbo seat and jumperoo. She might roll over any day now! She is finally getting more comfortable being on her tummy. As you can tell from the pictures she is quite chubby! Never missed a meal!

Maisy is her usual goofy self! She keeps us entertained with her never-ending funny comments! She is crazy about playing with balls. She really likes the ones you can get out of the ball machine at "Old Maybe" (Old Navy). Since they only cost a quarter and it makes her happy we have accumulated a lot of them. Here is Maisy showing off a "few" of them!

Here are a couple of pictures of the girls hanging out together!

And I know what you are thinking..."Does Maddie ever smile in pictures?" Here is some "rare" proof that yes indeed she does!
