So much has happened, I've been too busy/tired to post about it all! Madison is now seven (7??!!) months and we just got back from a wonderful vacation...Grandma is keeping little miss this weekend so hopefully I'll have some time to post updates and new pictures!!
Last Monday we had Madison's 6 month pictures taken. They turned out amazing!! I spent more than I had intended to, but I just couldn't pick!!
We had a great Easter weekend! My mom, brother, and his girlfriend came down Friday afternoon and we went to the mall to see the Easter Bunny. Madison was about as impressed with him as she was with Santa!
She really liked her new books!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter, and I am so thankful for the reason we celebrate! Thank you Jesus for making the ultimate sacrifice so that we may be free!Dear Madison,
Today you are six months old. I feel like you were born, I blinked, and all of a sudden it was six months later! On one hand I can’t believe you’ve been with us for six months already, and on the other hand I can’t believe it’s only been six months! I feel like you’ve been with us forever! You made the transition from husband and wife to daddy and mommy very easy for us! You are such a happy and entertaining little girl! You are getting more talkative everyday. Today, I’m not sure there was time that you were awake that you weren’t talking. You are so passionate about whatever it is you’re talking about, and I can’t wait to know what you’re trying to say. You make it harder every day for me to go to work. I feel like you’re growing even faster now, and I’m afraid to miss anything! The good news is that sooner than later I will get to spend a lot more time with you as Mommy is going to go back to school to be a teacher. Although I know it will be stressful for me to be a full-time student and a full-time Mommy, I know your Daddy will do everything he can to help Mommy achieve her dream. I’m sure there will nights I don’t see much of you, but I will just have to “keep my eye on the prize” and know that in the end, we will get to spend SO MUCH MORE time together!!
Here are some of the things you’re doing now:
· Sitting on your own
· Eating seven ounces
· Eating cereal once a day (most days)
· Eating ½ container of vegetables a day
· Eating ½ container of fruit a day
· Showing A LOT of interest in your puppies
· Starting to open and close your hand like you’re waving, and just being amazed!
· Learning to use your tongue more when you’re babbling
· Rolling to get where you want
· LOVING your pacifier! If you see it out of the corner of your eye, you must have it.
· Splashing in your bathtub. I’m pretty sure you would stay in your bathtub all night if I would let you.
· You’re very good while I brush your gums. I hope this continues once you start getting teeth!
· Starting to drink from your sippy cup. You’re not a big fan of the juice yet so we’re still working on this one!
· Still sleeping through night (about 99% of the time!)
· Pulling Mommy’s (and Grandma’s and Nanny’s) hair…seriously, I think it might be your favorite pastime right now!
Madison, you have a brought a joy to your Daddy and me that we never knew could be experienced! You are everything I could have asked for in a daughter, and SO. MUCH.MORE! We love you, princess!!
Love,
Mommy
I've never been a big fan of roundabouts. I always thought they were confusing and every time I went around one, I was afraid I was going to get in a wreck. Today, I did. I was on my way back to work after lunch, thought the lady already in the roundabout was going to continue around, so I started go so I could go behind her, but she was turning off at the "exit" so I hit her passenger side back door. Her car is dented. And mine? Well, mine seems to be missing something:
I take it to the shop tomorrow morning. I really pray they don't tell me its totaled.
We were lucky enough to have weather in the 70's today so we went for a walk this evening. This was her first time in this stroller, and she loves it! I bought her sunglasses for our cruise in May, and wanted to try them on her today! She didn't reach for them once...left them on the whole time. She knew she looked good, and didn't want to ruin it!!
