the puppies and the baby

We learned our lesson with Ben and Ducky - only one favorite stuffed toy gets you in trouble eventually. So when Maddie started getting attached to the pink puppy, we started buying more. There are currently 4 or 5 puppies around here....We won't have to worry about her losing her favorite pink puppy. Ever!

11 Months and 2 weeks

She was taking two or three steps and falling into a crawl, now she's all feet!

The Hair Experiment

So. Maddie's got a ton of hair and I've been chomping at the bits to do something different with it, thing is - she's not a fan of anything on her head these days. She pulls clips out the minute they're on. She shakes her head incessantly until the band comes off. Pig tails though ... she sat still long enough to get them on, and she forgot all about her hair that day.

....We're back!

Well, I guess I decided to take an unnofficial break.... We are now well into April and I've suddenly reawakened from my blog hibernation. Maddie has just been ultra active, and ultra cute. She is fascinated with the dog, and loves to grab its tail and play with its food and water. We constantly have to move the bowls as we tell her "No doggie food for you Maddie!" to which she smiles. She stands on her own, loves bath time, and doesn't like getting dressed much....she has also started tugging away anything I put on her hair.

HAIR!

Maddie before her first haircut



Maddie this morning .... hmmm, time for a new haircut already!??

Doesn't take much

to get Maddie cracking up. Just show her her favorite person (dad) and camera and a couple funny sounds. She's a laugh bag!
