new tricks and olympics

we have a little saying in our house anytime byron cooks, "looks like daddy's been cooking." this means: most likely every pot we own is on the counter and dirty, as well as most of the ingredients that were meant to make it into the meal. we have now adapted this saying to whenever he feeds mary adelyn.

i was trying to capture the amount of broccoli, sweet potatoes, and tofu left behind; however, mary adelyn did not much appreciate being photographed in that state.

i know we have said it many times, but our days are definitely numbered in regards to mary adelyn's mobilization debut. this is pretty much the only thing she wants to do now...

and if she is not standing by the ottoman, then she is using delia to stand up, walking with our assistance, rocking back and forth on her knees,

or telling me to stop taking pictures of her without any pants on. i think she gets her modesty from me :)

we had another great weekend spending time with the partridges and cheering them on in the brucemont olympics (their neighborhood field day, so to speak). luckily there was no spelling/grammar competition (see sign above).

mary adelyn loved being a cheerleader and hanging out with a fellow little one.

although, she wasn't quite sure what to think of the balloon race.

see gators dawg food above. they were the winning team, as much as it pains me to type it. we try our best to ignore the gator socks. he really is a nice person. mary adelyn won cutest baby award. well, once big john went home :)
