Hanging out

These two are like peas in a pod! Dancing and just having a ball together.

Mabel trying out the baby swing before the little one arrives...Bella waiting for the little one too.

Mabel showing us where the baby is on Mom.

Sandy and Marc are letting us borrow this and I am so excited about because we did not have one with Mabel and I hear they are the best. I hope mabel will give the baby a turn.

Helping Dad pack.

George gets hungry too :)

We have a picture of Pat holding Mabel like this when she was about 2 months old....at 2 months her head was resting in his hand and her legs ended at his elbow.

Those are some big gloves.

A day in the life

Mabel is doing great and has been super busy latly. A few pictures from the last week and a couple from a year ago! Oh how they change:)

Big shoes for a big girl. She can actully walk in them...proves how small my feet really are :)

Out for a walk with Bella.

Mabel loves when Dad plays the guitar.

She loves holding the leash.

Having dinner with Sage during Barb's birthday.

Mabel helping dad work....the pictures below are from a year ago...right before Pat leaves for World Juions/ U23 Championships.

Check out this video....she is a fast walker and Bella is so good.

Mommy's little helper!

Mabel is a dream come true (I find myself staring at her during the day - when she is playing, eating, sleeping, sitting in the car, etc.- for long periods of time in amazemant of her). She really wants to help me with anything I am doing....sweeping, vacuuming (now that I just got a new vacuum that is so nice and quit and powerful she doesn't run for the hills when I get it out, I love it) feeding Bella, cooking, working on my computer, etc. I just know she is going to be a big help with the new baby too. Sandy told me the other day that having a girl first is a big help when you have another baby becaseu girls like to help Mommy. I am banking on this big time :)

Sweeping!

Vacuuming - the vacuum has an adjustable arm length so w can both use it :)

She did this herself....got both feet into these blocks and then was walking around sliding them on the floor. Bella is steering clear as usual.

I had the great pleasure to watch Kate a couple times last week, she is a great playmate for Mabel and me! Hide and seek with Cousin Kate....I am sure this is just the begining of many games.

I like to think I was spoiling Kate by letting her play with my phone.

This little girl loves boxes.
