New Discoveries

There have been plenty recently. Here are a few.


The joy of bathtime



Fun with the refrigerator: outside...

and in


Alternative play with the excer-saucer



Finger food (making bathtime necessary)

A girl and her dog

Lexie and Maggie are enjoying each other. We knew that Lexie's presence would require an adjustment for Maggie, and both girls have been great. From helping get Lexie out of bed in the morning to running back and forth between Lexie and us when she's crying, Maggie has been great, and Lexie loves having someone around that's her height. Here are some pics of the two of them. These go back a few months which is neat to watch how much Lexie's grown and how Maggie's hairstyle has changed.



From day one, Maggie has known her job: watch over the little one.

Into everything

With mobility has come mischievousness. Lexie's been keeping us on our toes, and it's been great. The Trace Adkins' song "You're Gonna Miss This" helps keep things in perspective.

The blinds are one of her favorite toys.


"Hey Dad, I can help. That cord goes there, and this wire goes here."


"I'd get out there in that wet stuff that's falling from the sky if they'd let me."


Looking for good deals. She can't help it; it's in her DNA.


Getting into everything is tiring.
