WOW 8 MONTHS OLD

Time has really been going by so fast. The girls are getting so big! Natalie is 8 months old and is a funny, happy girl. She was a late bloomer in a few categories. In the last month she has started to eat some baby food, crawl, got two teeth, and sleeps in her own bed. Natalie is very different from Madilyn. She wants to cuddle all the time, and loves her mommy time. I won't complain, but it is a lot different from when Madilyn was a baby.

Madi is as independant as ever! She talks like a 3 year old and has the most amazing manners! She will say thank you for everything! She is loving the warmer weather because she loves to be outside. She is one busy girl who loves to dress up as a princess, or what she calls a "prinz".

The girls and I have been traveling back and forth from McCall the last couple of months. I am preparing to student teach in McCall in the fall and I have some school work I have to complete in a 3rd grade class up there! I love it and it makes me miss McCall so bad! The drive can be a little rough! It is a 4.5 hr drive with out any stops and me having the girls by myself requires at least 3 stops! But it is all worth it and we love to get to spend time with Matt's family. Madi escpecially enjoys having Papa Leon pull her in the sled.

In Feburary the girls were baptized by Matt's Grandpa Basye. It was such a special day for everyone. Thanks for everyone that came and shared that day with us.

This weekend we headed out to the Dam so Matt could check on a pump and then we went up to the City of Rocks, it was beautiful and the girls had so much fun! Madi did very good hiking but on the way back she got a little tired! Hopefully I can keep the blog more up to date!
