Telephone

Last night Madelynn brought Jeremy the phone, and said Grandma.  He called my mother.  Here is the conversation between Madelynn and Grandparents Jones.

Spinning

As of late Madelynn has taken to either running in circles around the coffee table going "Weee" or turning in circles on the kitchen tile, running into things, and going "Whoa".  Her is her "Whoa".

Presenting the Newest Bowden: Isabella Nicole

On January 17th at 10:46 PM Darren, Elly, and Matthew welcomed the newest member of their family.

Where We Live

Some of the scenery we get to enjoy since moving here.

Skating at Mikhaila's 15th Birthday Party

Our cousin, Mikhaila, had her birthday party at the Roller Barn.  Everyone had a lot of fun.  Madelynn and Andrew had their first experience with roller skates.

Potty Training

Madelynn has started to show interest in what her peers are doing at day care.  We went and got her a little princess seat, and she's doing alright.  We're letting her take her time, as her verbal communication delay is impacting the progress.

Back Tracking

I've really neglected the blog, and have no excuse.  So I am going to go back to 2011 and work my way forward.  This is a very long blog post...  Enjoy!

Back to October.

Halloween

 Madelynn and her cousins, Mikhaila, Alleana, and Andrew.

Madelynn Dancing with the Teens

 At the end of the night, Darth Vader and the Punk Rocker needed a bath.

On to November...

Handing out hugs.

Who's Coming A-Knockin'?


Madelynn finally has her Pooh bear from Washington.  She sleeps with him and Leemar every night.  My mother tried sending another bear, and Madelynn wants nothing to do with it....It is an ugly bear, sorry Mom.

Madelynn figuring out the laptop.

She found my glasses.

 Madelynn at Thanksgiving.

 Madelynn getting her dance on!

She hates headbands, but insisted on placing this on her head.

Remembering December...

Napping with Daddy

Just being a little cheese head.

Testing her bath water.

I took this picture because Madelynn was just un-happy with the whole situation.

Her daycare person, Janice, gave her purple rain boots.

She picked out this jacket. She had three options, and picked the silver one each time.

Madelynn got a princess chair for Christmas.
