Susil & Garber Play Date

Cami giving Ty a smooch.

Maddie met her match. Cami was all over her on the chair and Maddie didn't know what to think.

Katie brought over Cami (8 months) and Makenna (2nd grade) to hang out with Maddie and Ty. The kids had a great time. Makenna and Cami enjoyed playing with our toys. The play date ended when it was nap time.

Excuse Me

Ty pretending Maddie didn't hop in front of him.

Maddie needed me to check to see if she had toe jam. Eww! Ty is not liking his sister at the moment.

Double Trouble....

Ty was sitting on my lap. Maddie wanted "uppie" with us. I thought she would sit next to us. Maddie thought differently. She got on my lap in front of Ty. Then she insisted that I check her toes for toe jam!

Moving On Up

Maddie graduated to a new car seat. Now she is facing front! This means she finally reached 20 lbs. Unfortunately, Ty is still rear facing. He continues to hang around the 17 lbs mark.

Helping Daddy

Ty was playing with my phone on the kitchen floor. Somehow he pushed it under the stove. Maddie and Ty had to help Chris get it out.

Mmmm....Bananas

Maddie tasting both ends of her banana.

Wow! That was a big bite!

Maddie eating a banana before breakfast. What's around her neck? My underwear, of course! (Yes, they are clean.)

Ty taking a bite.

Maddie feeding Ty. He wasn't allowed to touch her banana or have his own banana. I gave him his own banana and Maddie cried and cried until I let her steal it from him.

Happy Birthday Ryan!

Our train ride.

We all rode the Carousel.

I thought Ryan and Maddie liked their car ride?!?

The Garmonicas

Ryan celebrated his 2nd birthday at Tuscora Park in New Philadelphia. Even though the weather did not fully cooperate, we still had a great time. The park has numerous rides and jungle gyms. It was the perfect place for everyone to help celebrate Ryan's birthday.

The Brownrigg Family

We went to the Columbus Zoo with the Brownriggs and the Shooks. The weather was beautiful and the zoo wasn't too crowded. We took the plunge and waited in line to see the baby elephant. It was worth it! This was probably our best zoo trip yet. We saw some different animals and all the animals were easy for Maddie and Ty to spot. The lions, tigers and monkeys fascinated Ty.

Vera's New Model

Maddie found the Vera toy bag quite amusing. If you are wondering why she is naked, it's because she always wants her clothes off! How long does this "stage" last?

Hat Day

It is amazing how hats can be so entertaining!
