Growing like crazy!

Ok, lots of pictures this time. Katelin has begun the potty training process. At this point we are just getting her used to sitting on the potty chair so she's not scared of it. She thinks its fun!

A cute picture of Madisen and Katelin

"This is my sister, Mommy." Katelin loves touching Maddie...almost too much!

"Hi, Mommy. I love to play on my barn animal playmat."

Here are the "retake" pictures of Maddie and Katelin. Katelin did soooooo much better this go-a-round. All of the pictures turned out adorable. Enjoy!

Happy Halloween and Maddie's 2 month birthday!

Katelin was a pumpkin fairy for Halloween...she loved it. Wasn't quite sure what to do, but loved walking around at our town "Trunk or Treat." Of course, I didn't let her have any candy...hey, what she doesn't know won't hurt her! She doesn't even know what candy is, and I'd like to keep it that way for as long as possible!

Madisen is two months old now and doing great. She is smiling like crazy and trying so hard to giggle. Right now we are just getting some cooing that is a sorta laugh.

"Trick or Treat!"

Madisen looks like a boy in this picture from the stupid hat! But she's still super cute .







One of Madisen's 2 month old pictures. She did really well and smiled lots!



Katelin was a total stinker and cried almost the whole time. This is one of the two pictures out of 10 where she wasn't crying. We did a retake a week later and made Daddy stay home...that made all the difference in the world. I'll post a couple of those once I get them.

Our attempt at a family picture...they turned out pretty well considering Katelin's meltdown.

Pumpkin Patch

Went to a local pumpkin patch on Thursday so Katelin could go on a hay ride and go pumpkin hunting. She had a ball. Here are some cute pics

"Whoo hoo, this is like riding a pony!"

"Whoah, look at that other scare crow over there, Daddy!"

Not sure if she could smile any bigger here...she's such a ham!

Madisen's blessing day and Katelin 18 months old

Sunday, October 12th we blessed Madisen in church. Here are some cute family pics and some of Madisen in her blessing dress.

Madisen - one month old

Boy, they don't stay little for long, do they! Here are some cute pictures of Maddie at one month old. And of course I can't take pictures of Maddie with out Katelin wanting to stick her face up to the camera for some of her too!!!

Big sister giving baby sister kisses!

"Mommy, quit tickling me!"

"Momma, I'm gonna go round up the cows with Daddy."

Madisen - two weeks old

Just an update. Madisen is doing wonderfully. A great nurser, a great sleeper, and she (so far) hardly ever cries. Here are some cute pictures

The girls holding hands: Madisen, Katelin and Mommy

"This is my baby sister? Whoa!"



Double Duty.

Our first week at church.
"Oh, Mommy. I'm ready for a nap."

Ready or Not, Here I Come!

For those who haven't heard, baby Madisen has arrived...a week early. Madisen Lynn Norton was born Sunday, August 31st at 2:35 AM. Weighing in at 6lbs 11oz and 20 inches long. She has a FULL head of dark blonde hair and blue eyes and as pink as can be. She is adjusting well, a good nurser and getting the hang of staying asleep.

Family picture

Madisen all dressed up and ready to go home.

"Don't I look pretty, Daddy?"

" Got our nummies (binkies), and jammies and now we're ready for bed."

Katelin's not too sure what to think about Madisen, but she's excited.
