What is Maddie doing now?

Since Maddie does not get too many posts anymore that are just about her, I thought that I would add a few pictures showing what Maddie likes to do. Of course, this isn't everything but these are a few of her favorite things.


Eating in her Dora chair instead of her high chair. Since we struggle to get her to eat, where she sits doesn't matter to us.


Giving her baby sister kisses.


Taking baths - she loves for me to do funny things with her hair. This one she calls birthday cake (not sure why).


Watching Dora!


Holding and playing with her sister.


Pretending she is alseep in the bath tub when bath time is over. (Jon made me put the towel over her).

Look alike?

These were taken when both girls were 2 months and 1 week old. I think they definitely look a lot alike.

2 month check up

Alayna had her 2 month check up yesterday. She was 10 pounds 12 ounces and 22 3/4 inches long. The doctor said she was "average"; however we think she is so much better than "average". Alayna is really starting to smile a lot and interact with us and Maddie. She smiles every time Maddie comes near her. It is so cute!
Here are some pictures of our 2 month old - man, time sure is flying by!

Happy St.Patrick's Day

I do think they look alike. We hope everyone had a Happy St. Patrick's Day!

For Papa Coch

This post is for Papa Coch - he finally got his picture with Maddie on his lap. Maddie had a lot of fun playing with Grandma and Papa Coch this weekend. She especially loved Papa's horse rides. I hope that she doesn't expect mommy to give her horse rides now that Papa is gone!

Being A Nice Big Sister

All Alayna

I thought that I would add some pictures of Alayna without her big sister. These all were taken when Maddie was not around since she wants to be in every picture with Alayna. When I look at these, I can't believe how big Alayna is now and how much she has changed. She is starting to smile at us (and I don't think it's just gas). It melts my heart every time she smiles back at me.

Going shopping with mommy.



Taking a little rest.


Sweet girl!


Smiling at her daddy and big sister.

Photo Shoot

Maddie wanted me to take pictures of her with Alayna. After I took one, she would say "one more." We ended up with 10 pictures by the end. It was so funny and she was loving it. However, I am not sure how much Alayna liked it. Here are 3 of the pictures from our sister photo shoot.
