We started off last Monday, bright and early at 2am, and spent the day with Uncle Lou and Aunt Arlene. Then we had dinner with Cousin Joe, Claire, and Carson.<br />
<br />
Tuesday we got to catch up with Cousin Debbie, and Madeline got to visit with her horse.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Wednesday we arrived in Cedarburg to spend a couple days with Aunt Betts. It was great to see everyone at dinner that night, then the rest of the visit was more low-key, with a trip to the pool, library, coffee shop, and a couple great bike rides along the awesome Interurban trail.<br />
<br />
Friday we hit the road again to spend a few days with Brooke and Cody (and their awesome parents!). We had fun with water fights, the crazy coupe, bike ride to the park, trip to Meme and Pepe's resort, and a fire pit (to name a few).<br />

Monday we landed in Goodfield, IL, to catch up with Carl, Janelle, Sierra, and Hunter for a bit. We enjoyed their neighborhood park and relaxing at their house. The adults enjoyed a fun game of Blokus after the kids quieted down. <br />
<br />
Today was quite a long day on the road, but we finally made it home safe and sound. It's great to be home again, home again, jiggety-jog!<br />

I can't remember the last time that happened, but she fell asleep in the car on the way home from the park. Anyhoo, now she's up in her room singing, "scooby-dooby-doo, where are you? we've got a lot of things to do now!" over and over and over and over again. Ha-ha-ha!<br />
<br />
We took her trike to "big park" as we call it (by the nature center), and she triked the sidewalk all the way around. I guess it wore her out pretty well. Then she and Connor enjoyed the baby swings together. Connor was holding on for dear life and smiling really big the whole time. Madeline told me that she wanted to swing like a caterpillar and made me help her get her legs into the back holes and put her hands into the front holes of the swing. Weird. Maybe she learned that at preschool, or maybe she is extremely creative. <br />
<br />
I noticed today that a few times while Connor was walking, if he was losing his balance he would just squat down for a moment and then hop back up, rather than falling all the way down. Way to go little guy!<br />

He eats about 10 containers of baby food a day (sometimes more), and thoroughly enjoys any other pieces of food that we throw his way. He can use a sippy cup very well, but hasn't quite figured out the straw thing. He has mastered walking and is getting pretty fast now. He is a good sleeper, but it seems as though he is trying to get rid of his 2nd nap of the day. His 7th tooth just busted through the gum line (left lower lateral incisor). He plays very well on his own and is happy as long as he is free to walk. He just got over his first ear infection (diagnosed on April 17th). He has been enjoying swim lessons. So far, he's done one session at the Y and is now doing a session at Springfield Gymnastics and Aquatics (pretty cool, but much more expensive than the Y).<br />
<br />
Madeline has been enjoying soccer on Monday nights with some of her preschool buddies. She likes pushing the ball around with her head and walking on the abc's of the soccer field. Madeline has become more independent in many different ways. She recently got promoted to the "big kids class" at gymnastics! She's out there on her own with the other little kiddos and doing great. We appreciate everything Miss Katherine taught us, and now it's up to Mr Nick to continue the fun! Madeline is showing improvement at swim lessons by jumping into the water all by herself, swimming around with her floatie backpack at the Y, and going down the BIG slide at SGA. She is trying to figure out the time/space continuum, learning about the meaning of words like yesterday, tonight, next week... funny.<br />

Connor is 8 months old today. He is doing great! He likes to stand up anywhere he can, but he hasn't started cruising yet. He is a quick crawler and a good eater. He loves bath time and has a great smile and laugh. He has the same 6 teeth, but the amount of drool he produces makes me think there are more on the way. He gets to go to swim lessons now too (at the Y), and he loves the water. His legs are kicking about the whole time, and then he always takes a good nap on the way home. He has started to notice the dogs more lately, but his favorite entertainment is definitely still Madeline. It is so cute to watch him watch her!</div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5709222084961175602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkvResGGnwxhtFaS3F7syRILCQCKOr6PdgLK33GRVtzvhJpnrL1pbGaCNE8MLF2cIb6pZ_RMBGFHSni-e9FC43Lhyoqwpm8IpkTxIOPtunRJUf5Z6d3jiNF6n7bkNHhxNZZ8zDR_PFHIss/s400/002.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5709222078828837698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ6_vunYqnn6o6D6c7v1oyVzbQ_SiZYTdVv2X5sTke3Gi9G6O8zpqDbisQmgMofEsscfiXBZc23WO-kIx310SxYRY5_MiQMVa-Mw-NB9ePzvViQIig5ggzZFK1a_DXYv_gw_BwJzyOp43h/s400/001.JPG" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWUE-YppHxSCbpbfLw2LdNdgSr_-31WDfcsYa6144_DKVCwB7Pt4wBvyXJ3GTlbZMxaNo2mhF0CyMsDhvr2HKQPgLb7im3eW4meDhXA-1-toyvoyJdVzl7JeJnAZfsEeDXSC2pE3lAGt6l/s1600/013.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5709222099611415874" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWUE-YppHxSCbpbfLw2LdNdgSr_-31WDfcsYa6144_DKVCwB7Pt4wBvyXJ3GTlbZMxaNo2mhF0CyMsDhvr2HKQPgLb7im3eW4meDhXA-1-toyvoyJdVzl7JeJnAZfsEeDXSC2pE3lAGt6l/s400/013.JPG" /></a>Kaylahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10289342691868751761noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3476069166580762124.post-28955617163385306602012-01-24T21:05:00.000-08:002012-02-14T21:24:32.695-08:00Madeline updateMadeline does so many cute new things all the time, I have to try and remember some of them! She can count to 11 and sometimes higher, she can sing several songs, including the abc's, twinkle-twinkle, little red wagon, and a few songs that we have made up. She has been doing great at swim lessons... using the backpack floatie she can "swim" by herself for a little bit of time, but she gets so excited and smiles/laughs so much that she doesn't focus on keeping her mouth out of the water. Everything she likes to do is a "time", for example playdoh time, arts and crafts time, stamp time, puzzle time, etc. She has been doing awesome with potty-training. Only very rare potty accidents, and doing great with poopoo (finally). The reward of an Andy's ice cream cone worked very well for her! She still sleeps on her doggie bed and loves it. She loves to go outside, especially when we let the dogs out and she runs around with them calling them Mack and Mater (Lily is Mack because her collar is red). She loves the movies Cars (obviously), Nemo, The Little Mermaid, Shrek, Care Bears, and Bambi. She is constantly assigning us all roles from one of these stories. For example, Madeline is Faline, Connor is Bambi, Mommy is the doe, and Daddy is the great prince of the forest! Hahaha. She is very into girls vs boys right now, always pointing out that we are girls and Connor and Daddy are boys, etc. We could not be more proud!! <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5709224715130670402" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMChkIHiB87x9cSnqntKaNYKNHk1WxK789BSZ4K-f5PtUwydbgQtNyr6oeWx6iv1istqdDUM-jsUU227gF5T5J5NO4TW9AmPa_Czl6GohpnkVvDZI0BK0iSrhieGO8nqyRjZvEuMUp7bNW/s400/002.JPG" />Connor is her biggest fan!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVAbhNCBSdVSIX7kMTELuGQn-cZh0LsOvRZQjDXw94a7HSHiUWdjzuAwhdRzvq5Y0qBwnaem7mDxge0bmVvMudvAD-6KOvSXd_LV2nIcLDVykMy3RknlXTIC3SE-uhpyJCl48ND91JNZ1S/s1600/006.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5709224725224322322" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVAbhNCBSdVSIX7kMTELuGQn-cZh0LsOvRZQjDXw94a7HSHiUWdjzuAwhdRzvq5Y0qBwnaem7mDxge0bmVvMudvAD-6KOvSXd_LV2nIcLDVykMy3RknlXTIC3SE-uhpyJCl48ND91JNZ1S/s400/006.JPG" /></a>Kaylahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10289342691868751761noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3476069166580762124.post-57420081353893553232012-01-11T19:30:00.000-08:002012-02-14T20:51:27.368-08:00Get up, stand up.Connor is pulling up to a stand whenever he feels like it!

The good news is that Madeline has been doing better pooping on the potty... I guess we finally offered enough good rewards to intice her. The other poop issue we have is explosive. If Connor goes more than 24 hours without a poop, then Mommy and Daddy start to get a little apprehensive. Every diaper change brings us closer and closer to "the big one." As we wait and watch for it, we wonder if the diaper will be able to hold it in. Unfortunately, it seems that the poop usually manages to escape. However, we rejoice anytime the huggies #3 manages to take one for the team and keep all of the contents to itself!Kaylahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10289342691868751761noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3476069166580762124.post-35250674599464197692012-01-05T18:44:00.000-08:002012-01-07T18:46:01.643-08:008, 9, and 10Connor has 6 teeth now.

It's the upper right lateral incisor, to be exact. I recently learned how dentists identify teeth by numbers, and it would be tooth #7. However, after a google search, I found that it could also be referred to as tooth D. Interesting stuff.
