Best Seat in the House

So, I turned on some cartoons this morning, so I could watch something while I folded clothes. Maddy was running around the apartment with her dog-cycle and I figured I could get some work done. Well, then Maddy saw my laundry basket and decided to join me...





She just looked so comfortable I couldn't say no. No more folding for me.

So I finally emptied out the basket so I could finish folding. Maddy immediately yoinked the basket and got comfortable again.



She packed it well. There's two blankets in there and her dog Mina.

Bonus footage for today is how Maddy reads a magazine!

Maddy helps out

So over the weekend we made a birthday card for Maddy's great-grandma. Maddy's job for this card was to eat a birthday so we could take pictures of her. I was hoping that Maddy would go crazy and end up with cake on her head. That's not quite what happened though.

We began by stripping Maddy down to her diaper to avoid chocolate all over her clothes. There were some squawks of protest during this because, while Maddy loves to run around in her diaper, anything that involves changing of clothes is annoying. Then, we tried to set Maddy up on the table to give her plenty of room to eat cake. Maddy screamed "NOOOOOO!!," which is one of her 3 words right now along with "uh oh" and "yuck", and she started kicking and fighting. After getting cake on her legs, we decided to use her high chair and she was much happier.

Did she dive into the cake then? No, she did not. She delicately ate all the frosting off the cake with her fingers. Here's some of the pictures for the photo shoot...

Maddy had a great time... and I think a little too much cake. She's got a good life!

Old toys does not mean less fun

Does anybody remember this toy from growing up?



It's an apple from Fisher-Price that makes a lovely soft jingling noise when you shake it. So much fun to shake!

Alright, now how about this one?


Yes. It is a rotary phone. You walk while holding the blue string on the front and the phone makes an annoying chattery noise and the eyes look up and down. It was great!!

Now let's look at what happens when Maddy gets her hands on these old favorites...






They haven't lost their charm. I love old toys!

Now this last video is just a bonus because it's been a while since I've posted regularly and you all have been so patient. Here is Maddy shaking her groove thang!
