Our Christmas!

Maddie's 1st Christmas was wonderful. We had such a great time hanging out with Grandmas Christy and spending time with our family.

Santa was so good to us this year!








One of Santa's little helpers!


So many new toys!! Thank you again Santa!







So many outfits! So little time!!

Santa's Coming!!!!

Maddie says, "Bring on the Presents!"

Teeth!

Maddie is the proud owner of 2 teeth! Her second one popped up on December 16th! Within 3 days of her first! Hooray! She really chomps on her puffs now!

Yum, Yum!

Maddie likes to grab the spoon and try to feed herself. I love it. She is lil' Miss Independent already!

All I want for Christmas... Is My Two Bottom Teeth

Maddie got her Christmas wish early! She woke up today (after two nights of pure unadulterated terror) and her first bottom tooth was peaking through!(pictures pending) Maybe Santa will give Maddie her second bottom tooth soon!

Over the Table and Thru the Kitchen

Maddie has begun to pull herself up on the bottom of our side tables.

Here she is after crawling thru the table and into the dog bed.



She also has used the dishwasher as leverage for her new found skill.

Dear Santa...

Maddi got to meet Santa for the first time this weekend!
Waiting to meet him....






Maddie meets Logan!



Maddie wanting to try BBQ sauce for the first time..


Daddy decided that Maddie will have to wait a little longer for that!


Grandma Anita also bought Maddie her first Christmas hat! Christmas hats are a must have around our family!

Showing off Her Sweet Skills

Maddie has some pretty sweet skills..

This past week (I'm late on posting) Maddi has begun to wave hello. Why hello? Well I think that is because we always say "hello" when we wave to her. I wonder why that is? Maybe we will start saying "bye bye" and see if we get the same result.



Here is Maddie singing...well speaking in babble really. I think she does it in sing-song because we sing to her all of the time.



I'm convinced Maddie will crack a tooth soon!

7 Months!

A few days late...

Maddie no longer has the bumper or mobile in her crib. It makes for a pretty plain room, however, it is a lot safer. Maddie being the explorer that she is was trying to haul herself over the side of crib using the bumper as leverage. She was also grabbing the ladybugs on the mobile even though we lowered the mattress. Crazy as it sounds but she was up on her knees grabbing for those things. It really blows my mind that babies are that smart!



Oh my goodness... I can't not believe time has passed so fast!
