Valentine's Day Celebration!

Lucky was here over the weekend and kept Madeleine very entertained! She loves to eat her cheerios hidden in her little table but loves to share them with Lucky even more.



We headed up to the coffee shop to enjoy some yummy breakfast sandwiches and Jeff got his latte!

After Madeleine's nap, we got her all dressed up and headed out for an early dinner.


Madeleine loves to give her daddy hugs!






Jeff & I never got a picture together but we had a great Valentine's Day together!

Madeleine can stand!

Madeleine stood on her own last night for Jeff and my parents (I was at a movie)! She stood for about 15 seconds and she stood for about 5 or so seconds for me this morning! If I can ever snap a photo, I will!

"Love Is Friendship Set on Fire" ~ Happy Valentines Day!


I made some yummy cookies for Jeff's work and for my neighbors. They were a lot of fun to make too!

Baby Schroeder is...

A girl!

Sharyn and my brother found out yesterday! We are so excited! They are naming her Kathryn Irene after our Grandma Bailey and after Sharyn's Grandmother! My brother, Sharyn, Raymont and my parents all headed to Lincoln City for the weekend and I know they are going to be doing some shopping at the outlet mall for baby girl clothes!

On the mend

We've had a bad cold in our household! I got lucky and only had the sniffles for a day or so but Jeff & Madeleine were pretty sick. Jeff was up coughing all night and is finally feelling better. Poor little Madeleine lost her voice and was coughing a lot. She slept really good at night though so I'm sure that helped her get over it.

Everyone is looking and sounding healthy just in time for Valentine's Day!

Kissing Baby!

Madeleine likes to take her baby for walks and give her lots of kisses!

Climbing Stairs

Madeleine LOVES to walk up the steps these days! No more crawling up for her! She isn't quite walking on her own yet but will be soon. She can stand alone but only if she is super distraced...once she figures out that she is standing by herself, she either grabs on to us or sits down.

8 Teeth!

Madeleine has 8 teeth now! She has her top four and bottom four. She's had a cold this past week, has been a bit fussy and had a slight fever but now I know some of that was due to her popping a few more teeth. Next is those darn molars...we are not looking forward to those nights! AHHHH!

Another Gymboree Day!

Madeleine LOVES gymboree! I can't explain how excited she gets, basically just laughs and screams the entire time! This picture captured one of those moments...

Jeff had a the day off and came with us to gymboree. Madeleine was extra excited to have daddy watching!



She LOVES to push this! So funny to watch all their little legs pushing this toy across the floor!

A visit to Daddy's work & the Aquarium!

Madeleine & I stopped by Jeff's work to say hi! Now that Madeleine can cruise, she loves to look around Jeff's office and even found a stuffed animal to play with!




We also visited the aquarium! I had a great time but I think the aquarium will be more fun for M when she is older.




Here she is at the touch & feel tank - she liked this part!

Driving Already?

We took Madeleine for a "drive" in her car yesterday! She loved it! She even honked the horn a few times. Too funny!

1-Year Photos

We had Madeleine's 1-year photos done at JC Penney's a few weeks ago! She was very serious during her photo session...I guess she wasn't too happy about turning 1!

When we scanned this photo, some of the detail didn't show up but the word "ONE" is spelled out around her with wooden letters. This is the only shot we got with a smile!






Superbowl Sunday

We went to a fun Superbowl party at Dave & Staci's new house! We ate way too much of course and had a great time watching the game and commericals.

Madeleine woke up right before we had to head out. Check out this hair - whoa!


I barely watched any of the game. I spent most of the time following Madeleine around so she could explore this new house! Madeleine loved Ellie and the stairs at their house. She even was brave enough to hang on to the posts and walk up instead of crawl! Ellie was a good helper too and showed Madeleine how to do it. Too cute!

Wine Tasting with the Wagars

We left the babies at home and headed to Woodinville to do a little wine tasting! We visited a few we hadn't tasted at before and found a few we liked! The weather was beautiful so that was an extra treat.

Here is Jeff driving - what a nice guy!

Here we are with the Wagars!

Andrea & I! It was nice to be out with friends without the babies...we could actually finish a conversation!
