Songs for Madelyn

I thought today I would share what we have been filling the walls of our house with... Before a diaper change, during cereal-time, and while going to sleep here are a few songs that are sung to our baby girl.

This is sung to the tune of "Oh Canada"

"Oh Baby Girl, Oh, Baby Girl. We stand on guard for thee."

"Oh Madelyn, Oh Madelyn, Oh Madelyn my dear."

"Baby Girl is very, very frightening to meee! To meee! Baby Girl is very, very frightening!"

Sung like Madonna's "Like a Virgin"

"Like a ba-bay- Woo! Who has had a bubba for the very first time!"

"Madelyn, I love you girl... Madelyn, you are my world. Madelyn- Oh Madelyn! Madelyn, my baby girl."

"Oh, Madelyn I looove you... Madelyn, I love your daddy too, Madelyn- Oh Madelyn! Madelyn my girl!"

So there we have it... Madelyn music countdown. I am sure there will be many more tracks added so stay tuned...

Just another manic... Friday :)

My baby makes funnier faces than yours...

Today when I picked the Moops up from the babysitter's Maddy gave me many little baby hugs. My heart melts just thinking about it- It was probably the first time she has ever shown excitement at seeing me. Absolutely amazing. She bounced around and acted giddy that I was there... now that is a way to end a work day!

Remember that picture of Ray with the boppy on his head? I think he has finally realized he will never live that picture down...Do you see what is on her bib? A gift from Grampi and Nana Pam :)

Wallet... Check!

I. lost. my. wallet. Who loses their freakin wallet? Me.

This story has a happy ending though... said wallet was found! Beautiful, wonderful, caring New Hapshire'ites found my wallet. I knew I was moving to the right state.

Lesson learned from all of this? (Well besides... Don't lose your wallet!) Write everything you have in your wallet and/or purse down. Write every little card on a list... you will not remember if it goes missing. I have a half-scribbled list of what I think was in there... no numbers, no details. So... wallet... Check! List of items in wallet... will do tomorrow. HAHA :)

Marshmallows

A continuum of the fantastic Moore Saturday night...

Fun with the Moores

Saturday night we had delicious ribs, beans, and cornbread at the Moores. Jackie then made fabulous microwave smores... this may be my new snack. Sabrina was a really great sharer and we had lots of toys to choose from. Thanks for a great night... here are some pictures :)

Photo Shoot with Mom :)

Today felt like a good phot shoot day. Daddy got out the camera and Mom and Maddy posed! We got some great shots...

She takes such great pictures! Do you see that super smile?

Before our photo shoot we went to the food store to pick up dinner. This takes an average of 20 minutes extra now since she is out of her carseat and sitting directly in the cart. Why do you ask? No... not because she is fussy, or jumpy. It is because at least 4 people will stop us to "look at the baby." They can see her now because she is not covered and I think it is really sweet. :)

Milestone for this week... scooting backwards. I think we've lost her twice already.

Nightgowns and Baby Bops

So after this morning's blow-out Mommy felt bad. Mommy said many words that may not have been appropriate... So... new PJ's all around to make everything better!

Madelyn started this adorable head-bop also. She sways her head from side to side and smiles. Another milestone... she knows the word "dance." I'll have to get video up here soon :)
