Chinese tea ceremony

This morning, we attended a traditional Chinese tea ceremony. Here is a short clip from the car ride there:

Traveling to Arizona

We flew to Phoenix today to celebrate Brandon and Jasmine's wedding on Saturday! Madeline did great the whole way, starting out at the metrolink station EARLY this morning: Mommy and Maddie on the plane:

We were lucky enough to get a row of 3 all to ourselves, so Madeline even had her own (free) seat. Here she's playing with her toes after a diaper change:

Finally, we made it to the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort. Notice the cool paintings around the ceiling: Auntie Jenn is happy to see Madeline:

I found my feet!

5 month update

Maddie is 5 months old today! She still isn't rolling over, but now she likes to push herself up on her arms during tummy time. She also lifts her head up when she's sitting in her carseat or swing. She really enjoys holding onto her feet during diaper changes, which is actually pretty helpful until the end when you're trying to fasten up the new diaper. We're getting ready to head down to Phoenix for Uncle Brandon's wedding! It will be the same day as Aunt Jenn's birthday (November 7th). As a side note, Happy Halloween! Pictures of a cute little pink lamb coming soon :)

Springfield

We had a good time hanging out in Springfield for the weekend. Here's a cute video of Madeline and Auntie Jenn:

Uncle Brandon

Uncle Brandon got back safely from his European adventure! Maddie and Mommy went down to Springfield to welcome him home. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera, so I don't have any pictures to show. But I did steal this one off of http://www.jasmineandbrandon.com/
