Solid As A Rock


OK...so maybe not literally solid as a rock, but our newest milestone is that Maya has started eating solids (or mushy at least). We started her on rice cereal this week. She looks like such a big girl sitting in her new highchair! I wouldn't say she loves it, but she is definitely giving it a try. Look at that blond hair...that is Chris' daughter for sure.

CUTE Baby Alert


Only 4 days old and this little guy is already a celeb around here! Paparazzi everywhere. Looking at these pictures gives me a thought...what do the parallel cousins (Maya and Gabriel of course) have in common? Hmmmm...lets see...a passionate hate of car seats and love of baby papason swings!! Actually little Gabe was just putting it on for the camera, word is that he was very well behaved on his first car trip. Good luck, hope for his Mommy's sake he doesn't display Maya Car Seat Behavior!!!

Welcome Gabriel Andrew


The newest McFadden finally made his arrival into the world yesterday evening. At 5:56 p.m. Gabriel Andrew was born. At 8 lbs 1.5 ozs and 20 inches, this big (little) boy arrived on his due date and is the cutest addition to this family since...um....8/4/08! :) He has a head full of black hair and is soooooo sweet. Mommy Amanda did the entire labor and birth ALL NATURAL so much applause to her today. Maya is very excited that her parallel cousin is finally here. Welcome to the world, little Gabe. We've been waiting for you!

5 Months Old!

On Sunday Maya was 5 months old! How did that happen so fast? She is getting so big already...sitting up, making all kinds of noise, learning to drink from a sippy cup....ahhhh. I just can't believe it, somedays it seems like she was just born yesterday. With Baby Gabriel's arrival just around the corner, I keep thinking about being pregnant and labor/delivery...this has been a FAST 5 months.
