It has been a busy month. For those of you who don't know Sophie has been a hard baby at times. Things seem to be getting better because the fussy times are getting further and further apart and she doesn't cry as much anymore either. She started smiling about 5 1/2 weeks and now smiles a lot more, and coos so much. I don't remember Madeline cooing as much as Sophie does.
Last Friday we had a scary moment with Madeline. My brother Marcus, his wife Haley and their baby Allison had just gotten to our place and we were all sitting around talking and Madeline was running around like normal. Skipper asked me to go check on her which we never really have to do anymore and I found her in our bathroom and she had opened Skippers migraine medicine and there were pills all around her. The pills are really small and there were some wet ones so I knew that she had put some in her mouth. She wouldn't tell me if she had eaten any or not. We called poison control and they said since we didn't know if she had eaten some or not we had to take her to the ER right away. So Skipper and Marcus gave her a blessing and I felt at peace that everything would be okay. They took her to the ER and had to stay there for 4 hours so they could monitor her. Nothing happened so they were sent home. It was a humbling moment because I realized how quickly my little girls life could have been taken. I am so grateful for the promptings of the spirit and the power of the priesthood. I think that I am going to buy a medicine safe now :) because apparently Madeline can get "child proof" lids off.
We have also had a fun time with some of my family in town. Justin, Daphne, Levi and Hazel came from Oregon. Marcus, Haley and Allison came from Idaho. We played at the splash pad a few times which was fun. We had 7 of my grandparents 8 grandchildren here. It was fun to see everyone.
Sophie was blessed on August 2nd. It was a beautiful blessing. One thing that I thought was interesting that was said is for her to be respectful of herself and others and to look for opportunities to serve around her. She was also blessed to gain a testimony at a young age. I love baby blessings. It is so sweet to see all the men holding this little baby and having Skipper receive inspiration about her.
Here are some pictures for your enjoyment.

I cannot believe how grown up Madeline is! I am glad to hear she is okay, and I hope you are doing well with two busy little ones. Jessica and I would love to come hang out with you sometime!
Such beautiful girls, I wish we could come see you guys before these girls are HUGE.
Sophie is such a cute baby. I'm glad she's doing better, crying babies are so sad.
That picture of the 4 of you is too cute. Also, you shoes were super cute that day. I so wish I could wear things like that.
Skipper did do a nice job with the blessing and I was so glad that I was able to be there.
That thing with the medicine was scary and we are glad she didn't eat any of it.
