we love our baby!

I got out the baby gym this week. I thought Mady might enjoy "playing" with it now that she's getting a little older. I left the room and came back to find out that she had other plans!


Mady also discovered her hands this week and for our after dinner entertainment, we like to watch her try to maneuver them into her mouth :) We are also taking votes on whether her eyes are going to turn out blue or brown (they look blue to us right now but it doesn't seem possible to end up with two blue eyed girls!)

Mady's room

I finally got around to taking some pictures of Mady's room. Here are a few shots in case you're interested...the last nursery I'll ever get to decorate (*sniff*). Mady has yet to spend very much time in this room but working on moving her to napping/sleeping in her crib is next on the agenda!

this is the life!

(This is her little blanket from Sweet Baby Things by the way. If you are having a baby you just might be getting one of these from me - one of my favorite gifts to give :) )

vacation!

We are back from a week of vacation down in the Bahamas which has turned into an annual tradition with the Jen family. The weather was a little cooler this year, mid to upper 60's and a couple low 70 degree days compared to the usual upper 70's, low 80's that we are used to down there. Other than that, it was a great vacation. The kids did pretty well, especially Mady. People seem surprised that we were traveling with such a little baby but I think she was actually the easiest. She slept a lot and is completely portable. Dylan and Ella had fun playing with their cousins. Matt ran into two celebrities - Luke Wilson in the men's bathroom while Dylan and Ella were pooping in stall side by side and Jason Castro from American Idol Season 7 (he was honeymooning).

Here are a few photo highlights of the trip:
