There were two in the bed, and the little one said, ROLL OVER!

That's right....Maddie is on a roll.  I think Caden did this around 4 months, so Maddie is at 3 months now - maybe she will walk sooner than he did as well!

She has a normal size head on her side - a 75% head will facilitate rolling much easier than Caden's 98%  noggin at 3 months old.  Poor kid.  :-)

Here are some pics from Father's Day Weekend:

We went to the Splash Park for the first time this summer on Saturday.  Caden had a blast, except for when he ran headfirst into another kid.  They both recovered well and were running through the sprinklers a few minutes later.

For Father's day, we went to spend the day at the Kern's.  Matt and Joel got a charter fishing trip to catch King Salmon in Lake Michigan from all of us.

Maddie was snug as a bug....in a boat.

Inside the storage compartment turned into playhouse

Of course, we drove the gator again.

Happy Father's Day!!!

It had to end sometime....

...Maternity Leave that is...  Maddie turned over three months old and I packed my bag for work tonight.  I'm excited to go back, but very sad to leave our Mommy-Daughter time every day.  No more dance parties at 10 am waiting for naptime...guess we'll have to save that for the weekends...and special days off.

Maddie is going to love going to Cheryl's everyday, just like Caden does.  I'm going to be happy once back in the routine of working again.  Can't guarantee that I'll be happy about it this week, but by next week I should be over it.  :-)

Speaking of naptime - none of that for me anymore.  I better get to bed.  Let the exhaustion begin.

See you at 5 pm baby girl!!

PA Trip - Maddie's Baptism

We Baptized Maddie at Trinity, where Matt and I were married and where her big brother was baptized as well!  It was a beautiful ceremony and she did a fantastic job.  She didn't cry when the water went on her head and made it through all of the pictures.  We had a great party afterwards at Grandma Callender's house so everyone could meet Maddie. 

THANK YOU to everyone who came to her baptism, and made it such a special day.  A Big thanks to Grandma C for hosting the big party!

PA Trip - Visiting with friends

We were able to visit with our college friends, Jen and Arin on one of the days back home!!  It was great to get the kids together - usually only happens about once a year and they get so big!!  We had dinner at Primanti's and shopped at the outlets for the outfit Caden would wear to Maddie's baptism the next morning (oops!).

Naomi, Eli, Austen and Caden.  Maddie is sleeping in her carseat - didn't quite make the picture.

We have been taking this picture for about 12 years now.  Holy crap we are old.  Greg is amused in the background.

Kids and lollipops...didn't go as poorly as we thought it would.

Jen and Baby Maddie!

PA Trip - Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium

Last weekend we went back to PA for Maddie's Baptism!  We had a super fun weekend visiting with friends and family.  On our first day we visited the Pittsburgh Zoo because this year, Caden knows many more animals than last year!.  Goats don't say "DUUUUDE" anymore....the say "BAAAHHH".  He also knows Elephants, Giraffes, Lions, Tigers, and Monkeys.  

We went to the Zoo with Brady Paul and Maggie and Pat joined us right from the plane from Florida!!  Grandma and Grandpa Frank, Grandma Callender and Aunt Jen were all there as well.  We were a huge group - lead by a couple of two year olds.  Maddie and I were along for the ride...she slept most of the time and kept cool in the shade.  :-)

Look how Tall we are!
