Daddy's Girl

Maddie is such a Daddy's girl!! She loves playing with her Daddy! :)

Mommy has a new hobby - bow making!! It so so fun and they are turning out really cute :)

Christmas Time and Fun with Family

Madelyn had a wonderful first Christmas - she was much more interested in the wrapping paper and boxes than the actual presents :). We also went down to Belton to visit with some family - she was very happy and had a wonderful time :)

A New Trick and Some Cute Pictures

Yummy Carrots!!

Maddie has a new trick....When we are eating she loves to blow her food all over herself and me!! She thinks that it is hilarious :)

Maddie and Santa

Maddie went to see Santa yesterday!! The line was quite long but she did really well. She was very happy and showing off for the crowd :). When it was finally our turn, I handed Madelyn over to Santa and she stared at him. I thought that she was going to cry but just as the camera lady got ready, Madelyn broke out into a full blown grin! The whole crowd cheered :) She was such a star!

Christmas Time

This past weekend, Madelyn and I went Christmas Tree shopping with my parents and sister. It was such perfect Christmas Tree weather - COLD!!! Maddie really enjoyed walking around and looking at the trees...I think that she is going to love Christmas time as much as her Mommy does! :)

What a cutie!!

Just some pictures from lately because she is so cute :) Enjoy!

What a big girl!!

These past few weeks have been very busy and interesting. They have been full of firsts!

First ear infection - we are feeling much better now but it has been a rough few days :)

Trying to sit up....She is still hunched over quite a bit but it is getting better every day!! She is so proud of herself!!

First Christmas present and first time eating in her high chair!! She does so well and eats so much better in it! :) Trying to crawl!! She is pushing up on her hands and knees and then rocking back and forth. She is not moving forward yet but it is just a matter of time :)

New Christmas Wish List

Here is Madelyn's new Christmas wish list. I looked through her last one and wanted to update it. We have recieved a few things already so I took those off the list. This is just some ideas for Christmas if you need some :) We will put more pictures up soon :)

1. Developmental Toys: Some of the following are good ideas

Musical Stack and Play - Babies R Us Baby Beach Band - Babies R US

Animal Alphabet Discovery Ball - Babies R US Peek a Blocks Shape Sorter - Babies R US

2. Shopping Cart Cover - This one is from Target

3. Overnight bag from Potterybarnkids.com - the pink one with her name on it :)

4. Under the Sea blanket from Target - with her name is the blue color on it :)5. Steam Sterilizer

TWO TEETH!

Maddie now has her bottom two teeth. One is about halfway out and the other just cut a few days ago! We decorated the house for Christmas a few days ago and Maddie loves looking at the lights on the Christmas Tree!! Here are some pictures :)

Turkey Day

So we had a really good Thanksgiving but I do not have too many pictures. Madelyn was in such a good mood, laughing and grinning, that I was too busy playing with her to take too many pictures. Her new "trick" is getting up on her hands and knees and rocking back and forth until she collapses and scoots backwards!! She is so close to crawling we are in trouble :). She is also really trying to sit up anytime that she can. When she is laying down, she flexes to try and sit up. She has such a bowling ball butt that she just falls over when trying to sit. She is getting much better though! :) Here is a picture from yesterday

Madelyn's Christmas Wish List!! :)

Drumroll please...Here is Madelyn's Christmas wish list :) (in no particular order) Here are some ideas as to what Maddie wants/needs for her first Christmas! 1.

Sicky!

On the coattails of her first tooth, Madelyn also got her first bad cold. She is so sick and sad. She is coughing and snotty! She is even getting horse! Her crying sounds so sad...We got some medicine today so I hope that will make her feel better so that I do not have to wake her up three times (again) tonight to wipe her nose! Stay tuned, Madelyn and I are working on her Santa Wish List! :)

TEETH!!!

Maddie and I were playing yesterday when she started to chew on my hand and thats when I felt it!! She cut her first tooth yesterday. It is barely out of the gums but it is there! It is on the bottom right side :0! Papa came to see us last weekend
