Madelynne's first vegetable garden and new high chair

Yep! It is a springtime and we have decided to start a vegetable garden, a tradition for us since Mark and I were together. Mark borrowed a rototiller, but it hardly worked. It kept on dying after 10 secs of starting. So we made a trip to Lowes and we found an electric rototiller. This is quieter and made Mark work faster. Mark made 2 vegetable beds for the long beans, green beans, spinach, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, 'kardis', upo, squash, bittermelon, parsley, and basil. We dressed Madelynne with her hat....she can't stand the brightness of the sun...she is like Manang Ardie who can't stand the sun. ....Hmmmm...We had a little fun at the patio. Madelynne likes to make sounds now. I think she sings too whenever we start singing to her. When the camera is in front of her...she doesn't smile alot...I think she knows that her Mommy is capturing every new event of her life. However, when the camera is not in front of her, she mumbles and smiles a lot. That evening, we pulled up her high chair given by friends where I work. She can't hold herself up yet, but we have her sit by us when we eat dinner sometimes. She pushes herself up or braces herself with her feet at the end of the tray. It is so amazing how she knows how to protect herdelf from falling. She stared at her daddy, maybe she was saying, 'daddy what are you doing to me?,' We all laughed with that look she made to Mark. You all enjoy the pictures.
