Daddy is a good sport...

Brian sent this to me at work today...



We need to make sure to keep the cabinets locked now! That little stinker!

Sleepy Maddie

Finally figured out how to upload video! Brian made this for me today... check out Maddie in her Christmas jammies,such a sleepy baby!

What a Sweet Face

I feel like I have not been taking enough photos. Every minute is so special to me and I wish I was pulling out the camera more! Though when I do get pics.. I seem to be really catching her personality. It is so funny to us that we have a little person running around (well crawling really fast) who is saying mama and baba!

Maddie's personality is so cute. It's funny to see her change moods and modes. Sometimes she prefers Brian because he defintely makes her laugh and smile more, but sometimes she likes to just snuggle with mama and hangout.


This photo really makes me smile.. she was crawling around in her mixed-matched outfit (ala Daddy) and screaming at the top of her little lungs.



Mmmm.... tasty shoe! Maddie loves to take her socks off and chew on those too!


Helping mama unload the dishwasher.


Maddie the food snob. Sticking her nose up at dinner, little does she know some of her dinner is up her nose! Maddie still prefers sweet foods over vegetables.Though she will tolerate sweet potatoes and squash(and sometimes peas). It is very odd to us since both Brian and I will eat just about anything in the food category.

Moving on Up!

Up the stairs.... all the way to the top. Eek.

Little Monkey Bizness!

Maddie and Logan had a great time and so did Mommy and Daddy! It was wonderful to visit with the Holland family before they embark to Texas. We wish them the best of luck!

We have to make it a point to take Maddie here more often. She really needs to learn to share! Though it did make for a funny moment!

Maddie Has a Mad Face...

and this is what it looks like. Though Dad said she wad "determined" in this pic. Determined to drool on the camera!

Wordless Wednesday

Goof!

Maddie is a total goof ball. She is always making us laugh!


Showing off those toothies!


Hi Doggies!


Messy Baby! Just up in the morning and after some breakfast!

8 Months...

and a New Year! 2009 flew by in the blink of an eye.. It was a fantastic year for us though!

No Teddy bear picture this month.... every time I attempted to take it Maddie thought I was putting her to sleep and would subsequently throw a fit! However, I did get some cute pics this weekend! Enjoy!

Look at those eyelashes!







Maddie meets her new friends! Marina and Saylor!
