Swimming!!

We took Maddie swimming for the first time this morning. We just went to the small pool right across from our building. The pool was empty, so it was perfect. At first she wasn't sure how she felt about being in the water, but after about five minutes, she loved it! She was splashing and kicking her legs and loved swimming around with Mommy and Daddy. I think we'll be spending lots of time at the pool this summer.

Busy Summer

This last weekend was the start of what is going to be a very busy summer for us. We have two weddings (and everything that goes along with them), birthday parties, graduation celebrations, Giants games & work events. We're looking forward to it, but I can't believe by the time we have another free weekend Mads will be 6 months old!!

Mads started daycare 3 weeks ago when I went back to work & she LOVES it. She has lots of friends and is always all smiles when I drop her off in the morning. The teachers in her room are fantastic with her and put up with anxious phone calls during the day. So far she's "painted" a picture for her Daddy for Father's Day, played with bubbles & loves "talking" to her friends. She even has a boyfriend or two (shhhh don't tell her Daddy).

She finally figured out how to roll from her back to her tummy. She's been working on it for almost a month and she was finally able to get her arm tucked under yesterday. Now I can hardly keep her on her back for any length of time!In her 4th of July hat from Grandpa Robert & Grandma Sarah

Maddie's New Toy

Matt and I took Maddie to the Marin Parents of Multiples Garage Sale this morning. There were a ton of people and a whole gym worth of stuff to look through. We were hoping to find an exersaucer for Maddie & we lucked out. Not only did we find one in good shape, but it's PINK! Very, very pink! Mads loves it and is having fun checking out all the cool toys that it came with.
