Happy 4th of July!



Madeline spent her first 4th with her Pop Pop and Uncle Mike. The 4th of July is also Pop Pop's birthday, and it was great for Madeline to be able to spend it with him. There were a lot of fireworks set off in the neighborhood, but none of them bothered her. I was a little nervous that the noise would really scare her and the 4th was going to become my least favorite holiday!









While my Dad and Mike were here we went to Mt. Saint Helens and Mt. Rainier National Park. That meant a lot of driving and Madeline was not a huge fan. She tolerates the car for awhile, but as soon as she is tired and hungry she wants out. I try sitting in the back seat with her to calm her down, but it rarely works. I guess we can't have a smiling baby all of the time!

Madeline has been spending lots of time on her belly and is rolling over pretty regularly. She has even rolled from her back to her belly a couple of times. Now she needs to work on getting her arms out from under her when she rolls to her belly. She usually gets one out before she gets frustrated and starts crying!
Madeline is also becoming more and more aware of the dog and cats. She likes watching Zoe run around the backyard and has reached out to pet the cats. She manages to get a handful of fur each time. Luckily we have the most mellow cats in the world and they are pretty tolerant of her...so far. Just wait until she is grabbing their tails!
