Dinner at the Dartezes

Tonight we all three had supper together. Daddy bar-b-qued some steaks for all of us and mommy made asparagus and mashed potatoes. Mommy took all the food and pureed it for Madeline and we all ate the same thing for supper and ate at the dinner table. It is so nice to have a family dinner!

Madeline with her filet mignon, which daddy couldn't get over that an 8 month old was eating so nicely! Madeline and daddy at the dinner table!

Potty

Ok so I read somewhere that you can start babies when they are young on the potty and not that they really learn faster, but you might have less of a fight later...so I figured why not? I picked up a potty for Madeline the other day and we tried it for the first time Thursday morning. Madeline woke up and her diaper was dry so I figured this would be a good time to start trying. So I ran to get her potty and sat her on it...nothing happened! We did, of course, get some pictures though.
Earlier today daddy put Madeline on her potty again and then gave her the baby magazine. This is not normally my kind of humor, but this was just too cute and funny not to take pictures of! :)She likes her baby magazine that Maw Maw ordered for her!

Fun in the sun

This morning we went and played outside in Madeline's baby pool. At first she was not sure about it at all! She didn't want to go in the pool by herself and made me go in with her. We also had a bubble machine going. Madeline liked to watch the bubbles but didn't like when they popped in her face!The pool had a little sprinkler on it that M loved playing with!After a little while she was ok to play by herself...but that only lasted for like 10 minutes and then mommy was back into the pool!
Then it was time for a nap!!!!!

Spring Moms and Babe's Fest

On April 16th we went to a fest at Market Street in The Woodlands. We met up with Mrs. Annie and Arran over there and then ate lunch with them. We also saw Dr. Amber and Ms. Ashley.Oh yeah...and Pooh Bear!

Food Food and More Food

Starting a couple of days before Madeline's 8 month birthday we started giving her all kinds of fun foods.

Silly Madeline

Madeline has been doing a lot of fun things!

Yesterday she met me in the hallway with the camera case. She is getting around everywhere! Although most of the time she will not crawl on the tile floor. It is kind of nice b/c it keeps her in one room...sometimes! She loves playing with the door stop in our room. She sat there this morning popping it and laughing for like 5 minutes.She is always SO interested in us brushing our teeth, so this morning daddy gave Madeline mommy's tooth brush. She can't wait to get teeth so that she can really do this!
Madeline LOVES bath time!!!!!! Tonight right when daddy turned on the water she got all excited and crawled really fast to the bathtub...but then the tile stopped her. Mommy picked Madeline up and put her on the rug so she could be close to the bathtub.
She also LOVES the camera and smiles whenever she sees mommy pull it out! HAM!!!!
