Family Pictures

n
I love this one! But what am I looking at? I kind of like how I am not looking at the camera :) I also love the "attitude" that Madilyn is displaying. She was such a good girl during all these pictures! We were so proud of her! She loved having her picture taken!!!
I love this one!!!

Madilyn loved holding her brother and I love the look on her face, as she really took the "job" seriously!! She was so careful with him (until I told her that we were all done, then she just pushed him off of her!)

We finally took our family pictures last weekend in my parents backyard. I have always loved their backyard and it seemed like the perfect place to take our pics. We are really happy with how they turned out!!! It is hard to believe that Cowen is almost 4 months old and Madilyn is 2 and 1/4. Here is a little about what they are into and doing these days:

Madilyn is talking so well these days. She is always asking "what's that sound?" or "What is that thing?"....I love it. She is such a happy girl and I love how she loves life. She is really enjoying all the snow that we already have all over the ground! Her favorite movie is Disney's Cars...we watch it at least once a day :)

Cowen is trying to learn to roll over. He is such a smiley baby and would love to socialize over anything else...this poses a problem when it is time for sleep. We are going to start sleep training him next month, as he is a little too young for it now. I am looking forward to getting a full night's sleep!!! He is different from other babies, as he LOVES when we are dressing him. Especially when his shirts go over his head. He just giggles and giggles. Madilyn absolutely HATED anything going over her head. It is cute to hear him giggle every time I dress him.

It is fun to see the relationship that Madilyn and Cowen are forming too. Madilyn is interested in cars, trucks, heavy equipment (such as bulldozers), blocks, animals, and all the typical boy things. This should make for good times when they are older :) We pass all the girl stuff in the toy store and she doesn't even look twice!! She is too much like me when I was her age.

Stay tune, as our Christmas card is coming soon!!! Can't wait for Christmas this year! Madilyn is so much fun!
