Well we just got back from a trip to California where we visited Mahlon's older sister and her new baby. He's such a cutie. He was born about 6 weeks early so he's now almost 6 weeks old; (he was due June 3rd) he now weighs about 5lbs. It's crazy to think that even at 6 weeks old he is still smaller than Madison was when she was born! Madison didn't quite know what to think of him. She would get excited and want to look at him, then when he didn't do anything after a second or two, even after she poked him, she would get bored and move on to something else more exciting. We had a fun, relaxing time-eating out, shopping, and watching lots of movies. We took the camera every where we went but never got it out...so here's one of the few pictures we did get.

Madison with her new cousin Jaxon


Also, the other day I came around the corner and laughed out loud when I saw Madison lounging in her bumbo chair, backwards. I don't know how she got in there like that, but it was too cute! When I took the pictures she was looking at me like "what's the big deal, mom?"


So Mahlon got a new video camera for a graduation present, I was so excited to be able to take videos of Madison! (I think I was more excited about Mahlon's gift than he was!) I've been trying to figure out digital video, so hopefully I can upload it correctly....we'll see. (11:32pm update: I've been uplaoding for a while now and wished I had started the video upload first, so it could be loading while I typed out my post. It's taking forever! Lesson learned. Hopefully it's not to big for you all to upload and view...)(still waiting...5 hours later. j/k, but it is taking an annoyingly long time, does it always take this long?) (11:53pm...still waiting.) Now it's "Processing Video"-Argh!


uh...I don't think it worked. : ( (note it's 12:15am) Sorry, all that build up for nothing. I don't know what went wrong?!
