Old friends and Shoes

We had a pretty uneventful week last week, which was nice! Things at work are finally starting to slow down for me, for the first time this year. I'm actually hoping to be pretty slow this week! Last week Mary Ann and Carter came over to eat dinner and visit with the girls and me. It took a while for them to warm up to each other, but by the end of the night Carter and Madelyn were playing together and having a ball. I wasn't able to get many good pics, but here's the best I could do.

This was right before they took every book out of the bookcase...

Saturday morning the girls and I met Aunt Kelly and all the cousins at the mall. Among other things, we got Aubrey her first pair of shoes. You can't really see them in this pic, but you can see that she wasn't quite sure what to think about them.

She's really standing a lot more, but not really starting to cruise around yet. I don't think she's close to walking yet, but who knows!! We went back to the doctor this week. Her ears finally look good, and now we're just praying they will stay clear for long enough for her to outgrow all the issues. She's gained a little weight, so she's up to 17 1/2 pounds. She's in the 15th percentile for height and weight. Although her growth has slowed some, the doctor said she looked perfect! Hopefully we can avoid a doctor's office again until her 1 year check up in April.
