Garden Update

August 12, 2011Food,Glendalough(0)
My garden is flourishing! I am quite surprised I made anything edible at all. I don’t consider myself much of a green thumb. I was talking to my brother about gardens and he told me I should probably pull my potatoes. I pulled one to see how it was and before I knew it, I...

Scooter

Baby Playdate

The other day I went to visit a friend from my old job who just had a baby. Maddie was quite fascinated by baby Joslyn! They are definitely bound to be great friends! Maddie really wanted to eat her. I’ll pretend she meant to kiss her instead of eat her! Welcome to the world baby...

Cereal

August 4, 2011Maddie(0)
We started giving Maddie cereal the other day. It went very well! Here is a long video of the first attempt. About 6 minutes in, she starts coughing, then sneezes and hits herself in the face with the spoon. Am I a terrible mother for laughing at that? The second day was an even bigger...

Maddie likes daddy’s computer

August 1, 2011Maddie(0)
Now that Maddie is rolling all over the place, we need to start baby proofing. But really, what’s the harm in her learning about computers early? In this next picture, do you see all these toys behind her? Yet she insists on going right to the laptop. This one was just taken today.
