Proof that sometimes I do take pictures

I finally cleaned out the pictures on my phone. These are my favorites.

After playing at Blake's house one day, Madeline walked five steps into our house and laid down on the floor. I'm no mind-reader but I think she was pretty tired.

It used to annoy me when parents made comments like, "Isn't she the most beautiful child ever?" But that's the only caption I can think of with this picture. My apologies.

We read together. A lot.

In case you can't tell, Madeline is wearing a striped shirt, striped pants and striped socks. That's how we dress on laundry day.

(And I love Madeline's expression that clearly says, " I cannot believe you're documenting this horrendous outfit. I'm so embarrassed.")

We're still working on the whole sharing thing.

While reading to Madeline and Blake, I thought I'd take a quick picture. Blake just keeps reading and Madeline totally looks like she's popping an attitude. Love this one.

The first 15 minutes of our trip back from Dallas, Madeline enjoyed strawberries and yogurt. And then threw up five minutes after this picture was taken. Oh, the joys of parenthood.

This was after a long process of trying to get Madeline to nap without her pacifier last week. She just wanted me.

While it was frustrating and I hate seeing her cry (which is why I went in every two seconds), I loved having her sleep on me. It was just like her first two months all over again. Except she's 30 pounds heavier.

But she finally transferred onto the bed. So I watched "Anne of Green Gables" on mute and watched her sleep.
