It was time for George to be washed. Jolie gave George lots of reassurance that he would be okay.  She was concerned for his safety though, and it took a long time for George to get into the washing machine.  (That was good for me because I thought to grab the camera.)  Jolie's biggest concern..."Will he shrink, mommy?"

 A kiss..."You'll be okay, George."

When Jolie finally put George in, she watched for a long time as he swam around.

 We spent an evening in the ER with a bump on the head....   The sun was finally shining after a week of clouds and fog, so I sent the girls outside for some sun and fresh air.  Within a few minutes, Jolie was crying.  It turns out that the girls found a perfect spot to dig for treasure, and while running to the deck to get a shovel, Jolie tripped and fell into the steps of the deck.  The lump was huge and all gray.  It looked nasty!  So we grabbed some frozen corn (to put on the bump) and headed to the ER.  The doctor said she was ok and she was happy because she got a glove balloon (thanks to funny dad).

 After a few days, it's a big bruise.

Just some Maddon stuff

 Malaya loves to sit with Maddon.  She thinks it is fantastic when he falls asleep on her!

 Bath time.  Maddon doesn't cry during his baths anymore, but he doesn't seem to enjoy them either.

 Maddon was playing house with us the other day.  Oh boy, the girls love to put things on him.

I call this one, "Man with many chins!"

Clothes!!

 Maddon has been wearing footed sleepers, but I wanted to see how he would look in clothes.  Real pants and a onesie!  0-3 month clothing isn't going to last very long.  This fits him perfectly and he is only 5 weeks old!

Please Touch Museum

We went to the Please Touch Museum the other day.  The girls had a ton of fun and didn't want to leave.  We have been very healthy all winter and since Maddon has been here, I've been super crazy about germs.  Every time the girls were done with a play area I wiped their hands with sanitizing wipes and then gave them a squirt of hand sanitizer....just to be safe.  

Roller Skating

Malaya and Jolie got roller skates for Christmas.  They are practicing...

Cooking with Jolie

Jolie and I were going to try out a new recipe.  I started to mix the butter and Jolie was nowhere to be found.  I called to her and she came down the stairs dressed like this.  "Ready to cook, Mom."

1 month old

Maddon is 1 month old.  He weighs 10lbs. 10oz. and is 23 inches long!! He is so long he fills out the

 0-3 month clothes. Yikes!

Can you see Maddon smile?

Mr. Chubbers has man boobs!

Look at this fancy footed sleeper!

Christmas Eve

We had a white Christmas this year!  The girls had a great time playing in it!
