Maddox comes to visit

Our friends Heather and Joe went away for the weekend and asked us to watch their son, Maddox. He is 2 weeks older than Layne. He was a very good and sweet little boy. He and Layne "played" well together for the most part...she pretty much wanted everything he had and he pretty much let her take it. Here are some pics from the weekend.

Morning wagon ride. Layne looks a little freaked out and has some sweet bed head.

I love this picture of them looking out the window.

Happy boy!

Crazy girl!!

Fighting over the lawnmower.

I put this picture in too early, but this was them on the way home from the zoo.

Loving the water.

I love his swimsuit.

Splash splash!

She doesn't just her her feet wet...she goes for the whole body.

Maddox and the otter.

Hugs!

Jason playing peek-a-boo using Harley. The kids loved it!

Lots of new ones....

It has been a few weeks, so I have several pics to put up here....

Just helping Granny Cat water the flowers.....

Good thing she has shoes on.

She loved the rocks...and would have loved throwing them in the pool, but I don't think Poppy would like that.

Can you tell a girl lives here?

In the apron from Grandma and Grandpa G.

Looks like she's had a hard workout.

Excited to be fresh and clean.

"What are you looking at?"

Extreme close up!

And this was right before she peed on the floor then slipped and fell in it. I knew I should not wait to put a diaper on...

Friends.

Wake up!

I don't know, but it's funny.

Talking and smiling

I was trying to record Layne saying different things again, but she only would do it if she could see herself being recorded. I wanted to get her saying "de nada" because it is so cute. After seeing herself say it she must have thought she was funny too...

Playing a little bit of "can you say"...

Layne is quite the little talker. Here is a little bit of us playing the daily "can you say..."

Throwing a fit!

We have officially learned how to throw a fit. Stupid us thought we had several more months before this set in, but we were wrong. I believe this fit is because she wanted a cookie and I said no. Some of it is dark, but you get the idea.

Swimming and a new playhouse

Layne and I have continued to have fun on our summer break. We have been going swimming at home and at Granny Cat and Poppy's, playing in the new playhouse, and going to story time at the library (we dont have any pictures of that yet though). Here are a few new ones...

In the swimming suit Grandma and Grandpa G got for her....what a hot mama!

Layne in Granny Cat and Poppy's hot tub....she enjoys that better than the pool sometimes.

I literally said her name for 30 seconds straight so I could take her picture and this is what she did. The terrible 2's at 16 months?!?!

She loves to put her face in the water.

The after shot.

The new playhouse we got at a garage sale....she loves it!

Hanging out in her house.

Tutu

This past weekend was the Mulberry Festival and there are vendors there selling items. Well, when we went to pick up Layne at my mom and dads tonight she was in this tutu. I am not much of the tutu type of girl, but I must admit it was pretty cute. She didn't mind the headband or the outfit. I didn't get a picture, but the best was when she would bend over to pick up something....all you could see was a big white diaper under her beautiful tutu.

She loves to play with baby bottles...sometimes she will share with the baby doll.

I love this one! Little blue eyes.

Playing with Daddy.

The puts that bubble wand right in her mouth....gross!

Daddy's girl.
