A Little Bit of Everything...

I caught this buck IN our backyard last Thursday. This was the first time we have seen a deer on our side of the river. I took pictures from inside the living room, but it seems like he was watching us...we weren't any harm so he continued to eat! It must have already started shedding, because it only had antlers on one side!

Elizabeth is saying, "I want the camera!" while she's trying to grab it!
Last Friday Madilynn and Elizabeth got to take a bath together! Now that Elizabeth is sitting up pretty good this is more of an option. We took over the downstairs bathroom for the girls' bathtime. There aren't doors on the bath, just a curtain which makes it much easier to give them a bath!

Daddy took Madilynn to the doctor last Friday for her cough, it has sounded really bad. And she got some cough medicine, not exactly sure what she has/had. So we've spent a lot of time at home this last week! Perfect for making some home-made Cinnamon Rolls!! Michael made the dough, I made the cinnamon mixture, and we put them together Friday night and then baked them Saturday morning! Thank you Daddy!!

The CALM before the STORM... I think this is the perfect illustration!

All is well while they play separately on their blankets with their own toys...I just can't wait to see what happens when Elizabeth becomes mobile...

The girls before supper Tuesday night

As of Wednesday I noticed Elizabeth starting to cough and her voice sounds pretty hoarse - poor baby! We were trying so hard so she wouldn't get sick too! It's so hard to keep them separated all the time! They love each other so much!

Today I made some banana bread...the first recipe I've tried out of Jessica Seinfeld's Deceptively Delicious cookbook my mom gave me for Christmas!

so yummy! Madilynn loved it - great morning snack!!

And last, but certainly not least...Elizabeth's got TWO TEETH!!
Please excuse the zucchini/cereal mess...you may have to enlarge to see!

I didn't know if I'd be able to get a picture of those teeth anytime soon, but today at lunch she was trying out the spoon and I realized I could see her teeth really well, so I grabbed the camera!

Her bottom left tooth cut through the gums this past Sunday the 21st, and the bottom right just cut through on Tuesday, so you can't see it as well, but you can tell her gums are swollen and red! Looks like she would like to feed herself...

Elizabeth is doing well eating. So far she's tried...acorn squash, butternut squash, sweet peas, apples, pears, zucchini, and up next...sweet potatoes this weekend!
