15 Months Old!!!

Yeah! 15 Months Old and having a blast!!!


So, here we are almost October and I am just now getting around to updating this... haha! Maddie is growing so fast and we are having so much fun with her. She is such a little person now, no more baby it seems like. Just a sweet, precious, little angel of a little lady. Not to mention such a Daddy's girl. The best part about her walking and talking and understanding our language is around the 5:30pm mark everyday when Daddy's car pulls into the driveway and I say, "here comes Daddy!" and she runs to the door! Bouncing up and down waiting for Daddy to come thru it with the biggest smile on her face. And as soon as he opens the door a huge hug for Daddy and then runs to play 'chase' around the house with him. I love it!!! :) It truly makes my day.

My MADDIE chair that I got for my birthday! I love it. I watch my cartoons in it every morning.

Okay so since the last post lets see... we have had a 1st birthday party, an arrival of a new baby cousin Anna, a soon to be new sibling (in "Momma's belly button), trips to KY, Dallas & Auburn, and lots and lots of football. Here are just some of the wonderful moments I have captured of our sweet little princess! Enjoy~

11 months old!!!

I know finally right?!? We have been so busy with Maddie and traveling and working around the house... yeah, I know lame excuses. but finally I am able to update this a little bit for the people that like to visit it and see recent pictures of Madeline Kate. I cannot believe that she is 11 months old-- which means one more month and she is already turning 1!!! I know it is a cliche but wow! does time fly by. She is growing up so fast.
She is now trying to take some steps of her own. She is getting to be very brave! We try to go out to the beach a couple of times a week to let her play in the sand and walk around. The latest trip brought a whole new level to our easy beach trips. It appears that we have a little water bug on our hands. Once she saw the water she just crawled right to it and kept going, no fear! A little scary since everyone knows the water gets deeper and deeper. Not to mention the water being around 75 degrees. Neither I nor her daddy want to go in after her :) BRRRR..Too cold!! (haha, that is the mommy talking) Nonetheless it is so fun and so peaceful to be out at the beach.
Maddie is now preferring table food, aka. "people food" rather than the pureed veggies and meats. She will still eat the fruit. And if anyone knows her mommy, you know why she likes the fruit! Her favorite up to this point has been chicken and peas, but last night we feed her steak for the first time and I definitely think we have a little carnivore. She loved it to say the least, she ate about 1/4 of mine and 1/3 of Cole's. The dogs were a little jealous this time b/c we didn't have any scraps to give to them.





Okay well I think that is a pretty good update. I know that I am leaving a ton out, but time only allows me to do so much. Some of these picutes are very dated but wanted to include them on here. Enjoy! Til next time, who knows when that will be :)

Grammy Sittee & Jiddee Visit

This past Friday I woke up to a wonderful surprise, my mom and dad were in my kitchen! They had it all planned out with Cole and decided to drop in for a surprise for my birthday. What a great time we had. Of course, they loved playing with Maddie and she loved it too. Grammy Sittee & Jiddee came with tons of fun toys for Maddie to play with. My dad bought this hilarious "mambo monkey" spinning toy ~that she just loves for some reason (See the picture below). Kinda funny to watch her b/c the toy is a bit silly! Maddie also got a new swing for outside, which she LOVES!(can't you tell?!?) It is going to be nice to put her in there and let her enjoy the outdoors. Except this week is a bit chilly here in SC, hopefully the weather man is right and it will be back in the 70's this weekend. Oh and how can I forget all the adorable clothes that everyone gets her, she is quite the fashion model. Here are some pictures from the weekend. Hope y'all enjoy! Oh by the way... the last picture is Maddie not believing that she is 8 months old already!!!

For an update, Maddie is almost ready to actually start moving forward on her knees. She gets there and is so ready, takes one attempt to push her arm forward and then falls. So I know it won't be long now until she is mobile :) She is also wanting to pull up on everything. We had to lower the crib bed from the middle section to the last b/c when we walked back into her room last night, she was standing up holding onto the rails smiling away... ahhh!!! So watch out.. here comes Maddie.
