Best of friends.

Maddie doesn't know whether to love her brother, or beat him up and tease him. Most of the time she's hugging him. Here's a cute picture of them watching T.V. I will often walk into their room and this is how they will be. Too cute.

Maddie will get up and jump on the ottoman, and Chad is sure to follow...

Maddie see's Chad w/ his pacifier, she takes it...

I try to explain to her she needs to learn to share. But of course, trying to explain that to a 3 year old is nearly impossible. I know one of these days they will be the best of friends.

All over the place...

Chad is EVERYWHERE!

He's up on the couch, he's in his toybox, he's up on Maddie's bed, he climbs on our bed, he's trying to open doors, climbing up his highchair, just a wild little boy. We had it easy with Maddie. She never got into anything she wasn't suppose to. She was a very quite and easy going little girl. She loved to cuddle (and still to this day does). Chad on the other hand is loud, stubborn (don't get me wrong, Maddie has her stubborn moments too), and he's into everything.

I took Maddie and Chad to Tewinkle Park last night, and we havn't been since they re-did it, and I'm telling you, Chad couldn't seem to get enough of that place.

He was running everywhere, couldn't get to where he was going fast enough. Trying to climb up on everything he could get his little leg up on. His eyes were as big as saucers, he was in heaven! Maddie enjoyed herself also, she especially loved the big chair swings!

I'm so bummed! It's been a while since I've taken pictures, and my camera died after my 4th picture! So, I will have to take more pic's next time.

Work and more!

Sorry I havn't had time to blog lately. Things have been crazy hectic for me the last few weeks. I started working full time at the law office. They have gotten so busy, have hired a ton of new people and I'm helping train some of the new staff. It's kinda weird how things work out. Chris finished his job he's been working on for the past 2 months and thought the homeowner was going to add more work. The home owner wanted to wait awhile, so Chris posted more ad's on Craigslist, and he didn't get any calls. So, of course, rent payment coming up and all our other bills, figured with how busy my work has been, best bet is for me to go back to work full time while Chris stays home. He was all for it. Now 2 weeks has set in, and I think he really appreciates what I've been doing the past 3 years. He's stayed home here and there with the kids, but now that Chad is walking, and CLIMBING, it is just crazy.

Chad is really starting to say more things. He has this new thing he says, and it's so darn cute. He'll walk around the house saying "da da doo" And he says "shoe" so cute. But it sounds more like "shuuue" lol. I'll have to get it on video and share with everyone. He's getting pretty smart too. If I tell him to get his shoes, he'll walk around the house looking for any shoe and will bring it to me. Most of the time he'll bring me my shoe :) Also, if I ask him if he's hungry, he'll walk into the kitchen and open up his little cupboard that has his snacks in it. I ask him if he wants juice, and he'll go and stand next to the fridge and just look at me waiting for me to open it up and get his juice out. He's getting more affectionate too. When I come home, after being gone all day, he will get the biggest smile, and try and run as fast as he can, because Maddie of course beat's him to me every time. He loves to give hugs, and will put his head on my shoulder and rub my arm. He's also a big kisser too. And of course baby kisses are the best, he opens his mouth real wide and plants a big smooch-a-roo right on the lips. I think Maddie has adjusted pretty well with me going back to work. They have so much fun w/ their daddy, so it makes it so much easier knowing that they have him during the day. Well, it's late, better get to bed, up at 6 now a days!

Labor Day Weekend

Yesterday we had a fun day at my friends beach house they rented for the week. Maddie loves the beach. She can't get enough of it. Chad didn't like the water at first, but got braver towards the end. When the waves would come, he'd say "no" and point back to the sand. It was really cute. Here are a few pic's of our day.
