Potty Trained
Bailey is Potty Trained. She pretty much did it all on her own. I never have to ask her if she has to go, she just stops whatever she is doing and goes to the potty all by herself. It is amazing how fast she caught on. So, she now wears her princess panties and dora panties and no more diapers!!! Yay!

Easter, feeding, painted toes, friends, tennis, buffalo and more
To see more pictures of the girls, click the black and white picture of them on the right of your screen!
This set of photos begins in Early April and goes back to Mid Feb. As you can tell by ALL the pictures we have been busy. Madison is almost 8 months old. She is crawling a little and can already get into a sitting position by herself. She is starting to pull up on things too. Bailey is growing like a weed. She has started to feed her little sister baby food. She is really good at it. Doesnt spill a thing and even keeps madisons face clean.
We had a wonderful Easter. Like Thanksgiving, we had a crowd. We had my parents, pauls parents, my sister and her boyfriend and our neighbor Bridgett. The company and food was fantastic. Bailey enjoyed dying and decorating eggs with my parents. And both sets of grandparents were there for the fun easter egg hunt!
Bailey had her second haircut this weekend. This time my mom did it for her. We cut off all the split ends and straightened the back up a bit.
As you can probably tell by ALL the tennis pictures....Bailey loves tennis like her Mommy and Daddy. She is really good at serving the ball. And even more adorable in her tennis get-up.
We are so lucky to have moved into such a great neighborhood. And even more lucky to have fantastic neighbors with kids that Bailey and Madison play with EVERY day. Our backyard is the local hangout. Most afternoons you will find 10 or so kids running around playing. It is perfect. There are lots of pics of Baileys best bud Big Bailey. They love playing house and even taking baths together.
Grandpa Northcutt finally fulfilled one of his dreams. He is now the proud owner of 5 buffalo. Daddy and Bailey went the day he got the buffalo to check it all out. I think Bailey was fascinated to say the least. Everytime she talks to Grandpa she asks where the buffalo are. Very cool!
Our nextdoor neighbor Bridgett, got a new puppy. Bailey thinks it is her dog. She walks it everyday and Fluffy even comes and plays in our yard most afternoons. You should hear Bailey boss this dog around. It is quite funny!
We had a safety fair in our neighborhood a couple weeks ago. The firemen brought the new firetruck for all the kids to see and sit in. Bailey loved sitting in the huge seats. She also loved her first try of cotton candy. She ate every bit of it!

We are alive.....can you believe it?!?!?
Well....it has been a while....eh? With two children under the age of two years, I have had a hard time posting pictures.
Madison is now 5 1/2 months old. She can say Dada, rolls over, is starting to push up onto her knees....wont be long before she starts to crawl. She is a very happy baby, smiling ALL the time. Right now she is eating solid foods....like Bailey, she loves sweet potatoes and squash. She is beginning to learn how to hold a sippie cup as well. We are so blessed to have such a cutie in our lives.
Bailey is now 2 years old. She amazes us everyday with her large vocabulary. She strings together 3 and 4 sentences at a time. She loves to sing and dance. Infact, her best friend next door, we call her Big Bailey (her name is Bailey too), is teaching her a Cheetah Girls songs and dance. Bailey likes to refer to them as Cheetoh Girls. Bailey is getting very good at going to the potty. She does both 1 and 2. We are trying to be consistent with that. Bailey can also put her shoes on all by herself and she is learning how to dress herself. Bailey is obsessed with Flip Flops, sunglasses, and of course tennis. She is definately a bright and happy child too. She makes us laugh every day!
Paul and I are just taking it one day at a time.....resting and relaxing the few chances we get. We love our new house....especially the basement.

Madison Rose
Madison Rose made a very quick entry into the world on August 14th at 12:47pm. She weighed 8 lbs. 1 oz. and was 21 inches long.
Labor was very easy and painless. I started pushing at 12:40 and 4 pushes and 7 minutes later Miss Madison was here.
Because of the quick delivery, Madison's breathing was very fast. She was taking 80 breaths per minute and they wanted her to be between 40-60 breaths per minute. Because of the rapid breathing, Madison was taken to ICU. She stayed there for 2 days. They took great care of her and within 4 hours her breathing was back to normal. They kept her there for the remainder of her hospital stay to make sure she could maintain the proper breathing and to monitor for infections.
We are all home now and doing good. Bailey absolutely loves her little sister. She does not seem to be jealous at all. She loves to help and give Madison lots of kisses. Bailey is also loving all the attention from the Grandparents. My parents stayed the first week to help out....THANKS A MILLION!!!!!! And, now Paul's mom is here helping us out....THANK YOU!!!!!
The second child has definitely been easier. I kinda know what to expect and we just go with the flow. Breast feeding is working wonderfully and we are all just trying to get in a routine. Madison is doing great at night. She already goes 5 hour stretches....thank goodness. I need all the sleep I can get so that I can keep up with Bailey everyday.
Here are the pics of my lovely girls!!!
