The Pirate and The Ladybug

A Face Picture is Worth a Thousand Back Pictures

I am very proficient at taking photos of the children's backs. You see, they move faster than my camera clicks. Pictures that clearly show their faces are very rare. Pictures that show both of their faces together are almost nonexistent. But here are some cute face pictures (albeit separate faces) of both Caleb and Madi. We went to a small pumpkin patch, and they had fun running, climbing, and throwing pumpkins.

Madi's First Apron

I LOVE these pictures of Madi. She looks adorable in this little apron. It's not really hers - but she was an absolutely agreeable little model. She's not to the stage of cooking with me just yet, so for her an apron would be all style and no substance. Unless she wore it when she was eating; I guess it could serve as a full length bib.

Speaking of eating, Madi has turned into a little piggy. Well, she is insanely active (I cannot overemphasize this) so her caloric needs are probably fairly high for a baby. For example, the other night she had sweet potato, noodles, bananas, and applesauce! And she just cut her 7th tooth! This particular tooth disturbed Madi's sleep a good bit, providing me with many a 4 AM channel surfing session.

A trip to the doctor

We were at the doctor's office with Matt, and Caleb was up to minor mischief as usual. He took off his shoes. Matt, concerned that Caleb was walking barefoot on the germ-infested floor, demanded that Caleb put his shoes back on. Caleb tarried of course. Matt, becoming more frustrated, said, "If you don't put your shoes on right now, I'm gonna throw up on your feet." (Part of Matt's illness includes vomiting) So, Caleb put his shoes back on and began exploring the exam room. He was intrigued by an anatomical poster that showed a skeleton with labels of his various parts. Caleb said, "That guy no has shoes on. Daddy, I hope you don't throw up on him."
