Busy with grandma

Scott went to a chiropractic seminar in San Francisco last week. Since I still needed to work the weekend, my mom flew in to visit and take care of Madeline. She arrived on Wednesday, which was a good move because Madeline wasn't too sure about her at first. By Friday she had warmed up to her pretty well.

I saved several projects for us to do together while she was here. We got more done in a couple of days than I would have finished in months. This is a picture of Madeline taking a bath in the kitchen sink because we had re-caulked the bathtub and it was still drying.


We did laundry, made baby food, sold some old jewelry, cleaned the baseboards, etc. Of course, we also shopped - hey, I had to spend the money I made from the jewelry.

I had been complaining about Madeline's hook-on-the-table highchair for a while. Feeding her was always a fight because it was too big and she was constantly trying to climb out of it. I had my mom try and feed her in it, and she agreed that it just wouldn't do. We got her a new highchair that sits on one of our dining room chairs. It works so much better! Feeding her can actually be enjoyable now. She is learning that I'M in charge of the spoon.

After shopping, we had to reorganize Madeline's clothes. She thought it would be helpful to climb up and down the box as we tried to sort through her clothes.

Madeline and Grandma are pretty good friends now.

Thanks for all of the help mom!
