10 months and moving!

I can't believe another month has gone by already. Work has been so hectic, by the time I get home I don't feel like doing anything else. But we all know, there's always plenty to do at home!

A few things have changed since the last update. Maddy seems to go for a bit without anything happening and then all of a sudden.....BOOM! She went from just rolling around on the floor to sitting up from a laying down position to pulling herself up to a standing position to crawling. YES! Crawling! I do have to mention that my wonderful husband had been traveling a lot and I was at home being the best single mom I could. Do you think she crawled for the first time while I was home? NO. She waited until she was all alone with Daddy and did it. I was just a little bummed. But I got my redemption this past Friday night (on her 10 month birthday), she crawled across the room (not just a couple of steps)! And hasn't stopped. She also managed to sprout a second tooth. And has started clapping. Our little peanut has gone through a whirlwind of changes in the last couple of weeks. It's almost impossible to believe!

Yes, I know, another picture of Maddy in her PJ's. I swear, we do dress this child. If you look really close you can see her two teeth. For some reason you can't enlarge this picture. I'll try to get a better one.

This was taken on her 10 month birthday.

See the pink thing she's holding? It's a pig hand puppet complete with sound. The night I brought this home was hysterical. The dog went nuts over this puppet. And the more the dog flipped out, the harder Maddy laughed. We actually have it on video. It was so funny I had to take it to work to show everyone. Every time I watch it, I laugh. I wish I knew how to "upload" it for your viewing pleasure. Maybe we'll just submit it to Funniest Home Videos. (notice that ornery little smile)


How cute is this picture? My friend Kerrie and her kids were over for a visit recently. This is Kaylee giving Madison a kiss. Notice her cute sweater (yes I know...Maddy is in PJ's again). Maddy will most likely wear it some day (if I ever stop dressing her in PJ's), since Kerrie is kind enough to pass along Kaylee's clothes to Maddy.

Kaylee, Connor and Maddy. Kerrie's oldest son Kyle is missing from this photo.

Check out Trent, the ladies man!


I'm not sure Maddy could be any more excited! Trent's all cool, calm and collected! He just turned four months old. (yes, I know, there's those PJ's again)
