Holiday Wrap-up

I have been slacking when it comes to updating the blog, so here is a photographic recap of the holidays and beginning of the new year!

CHRISTMAS 2009

Madeline received lots of new toys and could not wait to play with all of them!

Just after Christmas we headed to Whistler, British Columbia to check out the venue for the 2010 Winter Olympics and for Jay to do some snowboarding. It was pretty cold, but Madeline stayed warm in her new coat!





Back at home we spent several days hanging out as a family. Jay had some time off work, so he taught Madeline how to use the Xbox 360.

She has been practicing her walking skills and loves cruising along while holding onto the furniture. No official steps yet, but I have a feeling they are just around the corner!

She is also very curious and loves opening cabinets and drawers. Here the cats enjoy the fruits of her labor and explore the linen closet.


Madeline is quite the fan of cheerios...and Zoe is quite the fan of Madeline leaving her cheerios unattended. Zoe can be very patient...

As you can see, I am having a lot of fun playing with her hair!



Just last week we went to the Children's Museum in Olympia. There was an area dedicated to babies/toddlers, but Madeline had fun exploring the whole museum.

She loves feeding herself...and making a mess. She is getting a lot more coordinated and better at chewing (even though we still have not seen any signs of teeth).
