Easter Dress!!

Here are some pics of Madelyn's Easter Dress...I will post more Easter pictures laters....ENJOY!!

She loved playing with her shoes!!!

We Love Daddy

Madelyn is a Daddy's Girl! She loves playing with Daddy...all he has to do is look at her and she is all smiles...She is so close to saying Dada!! I love these pictures of Madelyn and Daddy...

Zoo

Today Derek took the day off of work and we took Madelyn to the Zoo! We decided to try the Dallas Zoo and I think that Madelyn enjoyed it! She actually looked at a few of the animals and tracked them. It was such a fun day...

Welcome Spring!

Today is the official first day of Spring!!! I am having so much fun staying home with Madelyn this week...I love playing with her all day. I am not looking forward to going back to work on Monday. In honor of Spring, Madelyn and I spent some time outside yesterday. Madelyn loves to be outside...she loves to feel the grass, watch the dogs and feel the wind on her face.

New Toy!!

Daddy bought Madelyn a new toy tonight...It is a penguin that wobbles and makes noise when you hit it. Madelyn loved playing with and watching it roll around... **On a different note, I am thinking about buying Madelyn a 'cruising' toy. One where she can walk behind it and practice walking. My concern about this is that because of the wheels, she will get excited and fall flat on her face if she lets go. What are your thoughts or comments about this?? Any certain toy that you liked or did not like??? Comment and let me know...

"Crab Walking"

Madelyn is now doing what I call "crab walking". She is pulling up on everything and anything she can get her hands on. When she is standing, she will walk sideways holding on to whatever is in front of her! She can go all the way around her crib and the coffee table...I know that real walking is soon on its way. She can also stand on her own for a few seconds at a time...She is growing up so fast!

Madelyn is in to EVERYTHING now!!

Happy Birthday Hallie!!

Today is my sister's 18th birthday!! I cannot believe she is that old already! In honor of her special day, Madelyn and I spent the whole day with her.... Playing with the Birthday Girl... We went to the mall...(playing in the dressing room of Nordstom's!!)And then went to Babe's for dinner!HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT HALLIE!!!

Virus

Well the doctor said that Madelyn and Mommy have a virus that must run its course!! The good news is that Madelyn's ears, nose and throat look great and that her lungs sound clear. He gave us something that will help Madelyn feel a little bit better. I am glad that it is nothing worse but frustrating that there is nothing that we can do....We are going to go to bed early tonight and hope that we can get over this quick!

Changes

Little did I know that when I decided to change the background of the blog, it would delete everything off it!!! I am working on trying to get it all back...be patient please :)

Spring Break

It is Spring Break week!! This means one whole week of no work and all the playing with Madelyn that I can get! Yea!! Madelyn is still feeling a little under the weather so we have a pedi appointment this afternoon - I hope it is not the flu!! I love this child!! She is so precious and is always smiling...She is our pride and joy and we could not be any happier!!

Wedding Fun

Last night by parents took care of Madelyn so that Derek and I could go to a wedding of some good friends from Baylor. It was such a beautiful wedding and really nice to get out of the house with some other grown ups!! Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Riley :)**Note to self: MUST LOSE WEIGHT!!

Sleep

I LOVE watching Madelyn sleep...She is so cute and peaceful!! On the same note, her sleeping schedule seems to be back on track. Last night she even slept over 12 hours!! I was so nice to sleep past 6:00AM.

Quick Post

Now Mommy is not feeling very well so this will be quick...Not much new going on here...Madelyn is still not feeling too well - we are going to to pedi on Monday. Here are some new pictures...Look how big I am getting!!!What a cutie pie!!!

Not feeling well

Madelyn is a little under the weather tonight...She has been coughing and snotty for the past few days but I was not worried until tonight. She is coughing ALOT today and coughed so much during dinner that she gagged herself and threw up!! I feel so bad for her...she is running a low grade fever and just generally feeling yucky...We have a pedi appointment for Monday but I am not sure we should wait that long! Lets hope that she does not get worse overnight...

Kappa Kappa Gamma, Kappa Sigma Baylor Sing 2008

So I found out from Summer that KKG and Kappa Sig won sing this year! For those of you who went to Baylor or know about Sing, you know that it is a big deal to win sing and entitles the winners to lots of bragging rights...For those of you not familiar with Sing it is basically like a short Broadway show completely done by college students. It is amazing to me the quality of these acts. I was never a part of our sororities performance for two reasons; I have no dancing or singing talent and did not want to embarrass myself and I had no desire to spend 4-5 hours A NIGHT practicing...Anyway, go KKG!!!

Silly Silly Little Girl!

Madelyn is a VERY silly baby....she loves to roll around on the floor and "wrestle" with her stuffed animals :)

Family

This weekend we had some family come in from the Chicago area...Madelyn was such a doll and was pretty happy the entire time they were here. It threw Madelyn a little off schedule but she is almost back to normal!! Here are some pictures...

Great Grandma and Madelyn

Being silly before bed...

Church

Madelyn got a new church dress this weekend from some family and she looked so cute I could not resist taking a picture of her!! How cute is she??? When we were waiting for church to start Madelyn was watching all the people filling in and actually waving to them!! She will not do it on cue but she was waving to all the people at church. She would get mad when people would not wave back at her!! :) She has such a little personality :)

What's New??

Madelyn has a new obsession - the tile floor...all she wants to do right now is crawl around on the tile floor...She has discovered that not only does it make a cool slapping sound when she crawls but that it can take her to places in the house she has not been before...

On a separate note, she is getting ANOTHER tooth (yes, this will make #8) and is slightly fussy because of it.
