These last 3 shots are high dynamic range composites of three different exposures blended with Photomatix Pro. I was too lazy to use the tripod so these were done handheld which is not ideal but they came out ok. I then edited them in lightroom that Sums got me for Christmas.

Madeline's Christmas Eve Photoshoot and Meeting Santa

After waiting in line for an hour behind several whole preschool classes we got Madeline to meet Santa.  Sums finally got her to smile for the shot.  I think it came out pretty cute.  They had the shot underexposed and poorly cropped so I had to fix it...

Our condo was not as nice as we had hoped. The king mattress in the master bedroom was really uncomfortable so we put in front of the window that let in all the light from the noisy parking lot and drug in a queen mattress from the other room that was more comfortable.  We did not sleep well the whole trip. But Madeline slept great.

Cutting the umbilical cord of my second child. Not too long after digging around in all that dirt, I had a terrible allergic reaction to something in the soil and was covered in hives. Some benadryl and strong coffee made me fun for our small group at the house that night.

This jet was actually from Tyndall Air Force Base here in P.C. strangely enough.  In the background you can see all the cadets lined up to march into lunch.  That part they do everyday.  The full scale war they waged on this one little guy in a white t-shirt apparently does not apparently occur on a daily basis.

A couple of huge strings of peppers is a strange picture to end the trip on but this was the last shot I took.  We flew home the next day very tired but with lots of memories.

The next  morning we left Aspen before the sun came up and headed southwest towards Montrose, CO. This was the dried riverbed we followed for quite a while.

After Telluride I convinced Summer to let me take them down the "Last Dollar Road," an all dirt road that meanders through the mountains.  I thought it looked like about 10 miles and maybe take 45 minutes but it was probably double that in reality. I think it was worth the drive. You will have to ask Sums what she thought. :)

I bought this thing called a reversing ring where you turn a lens around backwards like looking through the large end of binoculars.  It allows you to take extreme closeups (Macro images). Here are some examples of some experimenting I did.

Southwestern U.S. Tour Day 4: Coral Pink Sand Dunes S.P., Antelope Canyon & Horse Shoe Bend

We got up the next day completely exhausted after our hike up to Angel's Landing the day before.  We headed out the east end of the park and ran into some more bighorn sheep on our way out.

You'd probably never guess it but that is our awesome tour guide there with the ol' gee-tar.  He was like a Navajo stoner dude.  He strummed his guitar the whole time and maybe spoke like 3 or 4 times with a total Bill and Ted's excellent adventure accent.  He was busting out some red hot chilli peppers and some Led Zepplin.  It really made the experience memorable.

Southwestern U.S. Tour Day 2: Bryce Canyon National Park

The second full day of our trip began in Cedar City, UT.  We had been in 90+ degrees the day before so it was quite a shock to see as much snow as this the next day as we drove towards Bryce Canyon.  It was about 39 degrees here.

Family updates

Where did the year go?

Well family and friends, this time last year, I was getting rather large and in charge as I neared my due date for Madeline's arrival. :) Last month I was terribly sentimental about her first birthday, but I feel more level about it now. She has made so many strides with her new abilities in the last 4 months or so that it has been a joy to watch her grow up. For the most part, she is a joy to be with and makes us laugh with her giggles and funny (very Matt looking) faces. :) She loves to crawl with her head held back and her nose scrunched up like she is sniffing something. Our big news is that she took her first steps on Saturday! Matt, Sara and I were all there to witness it too. She went after her Little Mermaid cart all on her own, and boy was she proud of herself and so were we. I about jumped out of my skin when she did it. It is amazing how her milestones bring out the most amazing sense of pride in me and Matt. If she would only say "da da" for Matt, he would be a happy camper. :) I'll hear him in another room with her trying to get her to say it. She is still holding out on him. I just weighed her at Publix today, and she is 21.5 pounds, and if I had to guess, she is close to 30 inches. She is in 12 months clothes and still in size 3 diapers. I never thought she would still be in those sizes so close to her birthday, but she finally slowed up a bit on her growth in the last several months. She has her 8 teeth, and her lower first year molars are making their debut as we speak. She still takes two naps a day and sleeps very well at night. Life was tough with her as a newborn and even the first 6 months or so with inconsistency of sleep and mood, but I have to say the last 4-5 months have been pretty great. Unless her evil twin "Teething Madeline" shows up, we do pretty good. :) We have enjoyed taking her with us places and watching her enjoy the outdoors, other people and her surroundings. It overjoys us to think of her running around in the backyard this summer. Thank you for following her this year and for loving us and her and for your prayers. Those mean the most. It's been a hard year for me with becoming a mom. It was harder than I had expected, so prayers for peace and strength have been needed and appreciated. God has worked in my heart on a lot of levels since March 1, 2010, and I am still not finished. But, I know He has us all in His hand, and I have to rest in that.

Look out world, Madeline is on the move!

Well, I have to say that mother's intuition was in full swing with this one. I have been telling Matt for a while now that Madeline would start crawling by Thanksgiving, and sure enough, she started crawling on Thanksgiving morning! What a surreal event to witness, too. It was truly remarkable to watch our baby girl make her way on her two hands and knees across the room after none other than a pair of shoes! :) My mom was over that morning, and Madeline has been after her shoes since last week. Well, she decided it was high time to take matters into her own hands and get them by gosh. I was jumping up and down and clapping for almost two days everytime she did it. She is growing up so fast and amazes us with each move and giggle!

8 Months Old!

Well, Madeline started off her 8th month with a bang yesterday...literally! She has been sitting in this adorable Indian-style sitting position now for about 10 days or so now. Well, last week, she realized that she could rock forward and get up on her knees! It has been so adorable to watch her learn how her body works. Well, yesterday after her morning nap, I sat her up in crib and was doing some things in her room. She pulled up on the side of the crib to a kneeling position, which she first did on Friday. I walked out of the room for a second, and when I came back, she raised up and was standing on her own two chubby feet, holding onto the crib! She was smiling, I was clapping and congratulating her on a job well done, and then she came crashing down on the side of her head. There were momentary sobs and then all was well. :) It is so neat to watch her daily progressions towards being fully mobile. She likes to roll around but isn't content with that. She got up on all fours on Friday, all by herself. So, I know it won't be much longer before she is roaming the house on her own. I have to say that I know there will come a lot more running after her once she is crawling, but I am looking forward to her being able to follow me and not get upset when I have to go to the potty or work on laundry, etc. Overall, she plays pretty well by herself, but there comes a point in the day when she just wants me with her. I can appreciate that and try to make it work for us both. Now, sometimes that means she ends up in the backpack, but dinner doesn't just appear on the plates! :) She is still in 9 month clothes and pj's at 20 lbs. 1.5 oz! I think she is about 29 inches. That was done by me with her wriggling around, so it might not be very accurate. She is still in size 3 diapers. I found her this morning sleeping with her booty up in the air, which is supposedly how I slept a lot as a toddler. I guess she might enjoy that position even earlier! Madeline has never been a snuggler, but just recently she has taken to throwing herself into my arm when I am holding her and nuzzling me for about 5 seconds. I LOVE it! I have to take what lovin' I can get from my high-energy, whipper snapper. :) Her personality develops more and more with each passing day. I felt like she had a very early showing of her personality, but I realize now how much more she is coming into her own. I do believe I am a true believer in nature over nurture with some things. She does things, and I wonder how on earth she knows to do that. She is 8 months old for crying out loud. How does she know to shake her booty when music comes on? Okay, I guess it's in her genes but still...:) We look forward to her meeting her Great-Grandpa Walt and Grandma Sharlyn and her Great-Aunt Pam and Uncle Woody this weekend! More new people, she will be in heaven. :)

Some cute things...

So, this week Madeline has learned to shake her booty...and on command! She likes to dance in her high chair while she is eating. :) She is rolling around a lot now, too. She runs into a wall or door and looks at me with great despair as to what she should do next! I can tell she is quite impressed with herself when she rolls over serveral times. Then, a few nights ago, my mom was over and was bathing her with me, and we both got the biggest laugh. Madeline reached up with both hands (we are bathing her in our kitchen sink) and grabbed the faucet that was slowly running and pulled it to her and drank straight from the faucet! It was a like she was pulling down a tap or something. It was the funniest thing. She loves to lap up the water while she is in her bath. She enjoys gnawing on her sippy cup by prefers to have a drink of water from mommy's cup if she has her way. :) She seems to prefer a certain type of drinking glass we have as well. Just another way that Madeline proves to us that she knows what she wants. There is no question when it comes to what she likes and what she doesn't. She just doesn't exactly make us try to read her mind. :) Oh, also, I finally got a little green in her a few nights ago! She ate a carrot, potato, green bean combo for dinner and loved it! Thank goodnes, I was afraid she might begin to turn orange from all the carrots, sweet potatoes and squash! She also ate a squash/corn combo last night and really liked that as well. Learning what she likes and experimenting with new foods is a lot of fun. She is a joy!

Are we already 6 months into this?

WOW, where has the time gone? Madeline will be 7 months old in a week! She is just such a light. She is into everything! She takes in her surroundings amazingly. She has her two bottom teeth, and her upper gums look very white and ripe! She is scooting backwards when she is on her belly. I find her in all different positions in her crib now. I can say with excitement that she is no longer swaddled! She graduated into a Sleep Sack that is basically a big sack with a zipper. Her arms are free and has more room to kick around her legs, which I am pretty sure she really likes. :) She eats solid food once a day. She really likes sweet potatoes, carrots, and squash. She seems to like pears and apples for the most part but not many other fruits. She sits in her booster seat when we feed her. She enjoys time in her jumperoo and exersaucer and on her blankets with her toys in our bedroom and in her room. She likes to play by herself for periods of time but really likes her main playmate (me, Sums :) to be pretty close. She enjoys being startled, odd I know. She is starting to really like being tickled and will make it clear she wants more when you stop. She makes this adorable cooing when she gets a hold of something new or interesting...tags and zippers are a major favorite these days.We cannot believe how fast she is growing. Our hearts become more and more entangled with hers as the days progress. We love our Madeline so much.

Note: She just went to her 6 month check up last Friday. She is 19 lbs. 3 oz. and 27 inches long, 90% and 75% respectively. She is in 9 month pj's and clothes and still in size 3 diapers. :)

5 month update

It's hard to believe that next month Madeline will be halfway to a year old! She has come even more into her own in the last month. She is a livewire for sure! We weighed her at Matt's office last Tuesday, and she is 18 pounds! We measured her a few days ago, and she is 26.75 inches long, 90-95% for both length and weight. She is in 9 month pj's and is wearing anywhere from 6-12 month clothes, depending on the brand. She wants EVERYTHING, and the minute she gets it, it goes directly in her mouth! I guess you could say she is in the oral stage, to say the least. :) We got her a jumperoo, and she just loves it. She has a pattern where she will sway back and forth and then rest and start wildly jumping and start the pattern over again. She is getting more coordinated with her hands and how she manipulates objects. I am reading her books everyday, and she seems to like that...as long as I let her gnaw on the book at some point. :) She is perfecting a move we are calling "the crab". It is basically her crawling upsidedown on her back and bum. She pushes off with her feet and moves her body all over the floor or wherever she is laying. She has been enjoying her baby pool and walks in the late afternoon in her jogging stroller. She has a newfound love for ice, too. When she is particularly fussy around dinnertime, I will let her suck on some ice, and she is quite the happy camper. We plan to begin some food with her sometime within the next 2-3 weeks. Really? Can she be ready for that? Time sure does fly. I love her more each day I feel like. Matt and I are just enjoying her so much. Some days are tough, but there is always so much payoff with just a smile or giggle from her. As cliche as it sounds, it's the hardest work you'll ever love doing. Thank God for little ones. They are truly angels from Him!

4 month update!

Well, Madeline is officially 4 months old as of Thursday! Where has the time gone...oh yeah, eating, pooping, peeing, sleeping...and lots of smiles, giggles and joy! :) Madeline is really a happy baby. She smiles all the time and laughs at us more and more each day. She has begun to anticipate when we are trying to make her laugh, which is so cute. She is taking in her surroundings so much more, which is great for her contentment level and her development. She loves all things colorful and pretty much anything she can put in her mouth and chew on. She is in size 3 diapers (Huggies brand runs smaller :) and in 6 months clothes. She goes in this Friday for her check up, so we will then have an official length and weight. We think she is around 17 pounds and 25 inches long. Madeline loves to be out and about and seeing new things. She gets bored if we are at the house all day, which is rare. Her cooing, talking and giggles are to die for. She rolled from her back to her belly last Sunday. She did it three times in a row but hasn't done it since. :) She is pulling on her feet more and more, especially in her footed pj's. I don't think she has officially found them yet. Afternoon naps are a bear, but she does sleep through the night, which is wonderful. Matt and I just love her so much and are so thankful for her presence in our lives. She brings so much joy to others as well, and that has been our prayer since we first found out we were pregnant with her. Side note, it was one year ago on June 30th that we found out I was pregnant. I have been so sentimental about that. This weekend marks the beginning of the 22 weeks of solid nausea...I get woozy just thinking about! :)

Madeline-12 weeks

Well, Madeline has decided to wake up at 5 every day this week! She has been sleeping 10-12 hours a night for about the last 4 weeks, so I am very thankful for that. I guess she is having an off week. :) I was thinking it could be a growth spurt, but since she is almost 15 pounds, I don't think she needs one! HA! She has moved into size 2 diapers this week and also standing up on me without me supporting her at all! She did it yesterday for the first time. I could not believe it. We have had a tough morning so far. I was cleaning up a huge blow out in her diaper, an enormous spit up that left me taking my clothes off and scrubbing the couch all before 6:30 this morning!! Looking forward to the long weekend with Matt and Madeline! She sends lots of hugs and kisses to all her loyal fans. :)

Madeline update-11 weeks

As of Saturday, Madeline has definitely found her hands, is grabbing toys from us and "talking" up a storm! She loves her changing table and really has the best time when she is on it. She loves to have her diaper and clothes off, so we always get a real show when she is on there. She is chewing on everything! She is smiling and even starting to laugh a lot. She is 11 weeks this week and already wearing some 6 month clothes! She is still in size 1 diapers but not for too much longer. She is sleeping 10-11 hours a night and not too fond of afternoon naps. She still really enjoys to be in arms but does enjoy her bouncer and activity mat. Acutally, i have thought of bringing the changing table into the kitchen to cook dinner since she is so content there...I promise I won't do that! :)

Madeline update-10 weeks

well, i haven't added a journal entry since madeline's birth...if that tells you how much time i have had to things like that. :) madeline is doing well and growing and changing so much! last wednesday, she had her 2 month appointment and weighed in at 12 lbs. 15 oz. and 23.5 inches long! she is in the 98% for weight and 80% for height. she is smiling at us a lot more and making adorable cooing noises. she started sleeping through the night at 8 weeks and has since given that up after almost 2 weeks of teasing mommy. :) she is 10 weeks this week and is beginning to grow out of her 3 month clothes! i just put her in a 3-6 month sleeper last night for bed. she is still in size 1 diapers but will soon be in size 2. she doesn't take afternoon naps really. she likes to be up and looking around. she is very happy when she is outside. we have been taking her for walks after dinner most nights, and that helps neutralize her during her "crankified" times. :) matt and i are so blessed by her and cannot imagine how lives without her. i will admit that i didn't realize how much work was involved especially in the beginning, but i will say that it is all worth it when she flashes that beautiful, dimpled smile at me!!!

Her due date is here!

Well, it is February 27th, the date determined that the bean would make her debut. I cannot say that I have ever really thought she would be born on her due date or early. I have always thought she would be late. I did that partly so I wouldn't be disappointed when the day came and went and she still hadn't arrived. However, it is still emblazened in your mind as "the due date", so it becomes a goal. I would love for her to have this as her birthday as she would also then share it with Nerhea, a very special little one to our hearts who turns 4 today!!! I want her to come when she is good and ready, and that just might not be today or tomorrow or next week even! Anyhow, we are getting very excited about meeting her. We will keep everyone posted on the happenings. Thank you for all the love and support each of you has given to us during the pregnancy. We are so very blessed. We cannot put into words how thankful we are to God for this blessing!

We're closing tomorrow!

The house is officially done, and we are due to close tomorrow afternoon! WOW...what an adventure building a house has been. It could not have gone smoother had we written the script prior. Don Miller Construction and Jim and Suzanne Vickers are amazing builders and people. We developed such a great connection with them during this process. They made it fun and enjoyable even when it got tough to make decisions. We have had a truly wonderful experience with this process. Some people say that building a house will really test your marriage, but it has been great for me and Matt. We really enjoyed doing it together. I thank God so much for this opportunity that we had to do this together and with the Millers and Vickers.

It's a girl bean!

We had our sonogram today to confirm the sex of the baby, and she is a girl! She is 10 ounces and doing quite well so far. All organs looked good and no reason for worry on that level. It was a really memorable experience for us and a special time to see how baby girl for the first time knowing that it is a "she". We are so blessed and so thankful to God for his amazing faithfulness and graciousness to us despite our lack of deserving. He is good! House is also going really well. They are installing the granite tomorrow, which will be followed up with plumbing and lighting. They poured the driveway and walkway today, which really made it look even more like home. :)

Gettin' closer...

The house is coming along at lightning speed. There isn't a lot left to do other than putting in countertops and flooring and landscaping. We are so thrilled with how everything is coming together. All our choices are looking so nice and flowing exactly how we had envisioned them.

 

We just returned from a great trip to San Diego, Palm Springs and LA. Matt attended a GI conference in San Diego, and we turned it into a nice vacation. It will be our last big trip for a little while as we are expecting our first child in late February. I am 17 weeks along now and due February 27, 2010. We hope to find out the sex of the baby at our appointment next Tuesday the 29th. We are so very thankful and blessed that God has given us the opportunity to get pregnant and become parents. :)

We're getting there....

They are almost done with bricking the house and about 1/3 of the way done with the sheetrock! It is getting really exciting!! We are steadily making other decisions about the interior of the house. We made final decisions on granite and marble today. We are almost done with the lighting and then moving on to flooring, which is the last big hurdle. We don't know what we will do when we don't have to make a huge decision about the house at least every other day. :) So far, our choices are working out well, which is scary until you actually see it before your eyes put together. This has been a great experience, and we thank y'all for being supportive friends and family and for your coveted prayers. We feel the Lord moving us through this process with ease. He has oiled this path since the very beginning. We pray this home will bring honor to Him!

It's really a house now!

They put up the dormers yesterday, and it really looks like a house now! I got a little teary yesteday when I pulled up because it really looked like a house for the first time. Matt and I are so thankful and blessed to have this opportunity to build in such a beautiful neighborhood and with such great people. Between Shani and Charlie (our realtors) and the Millers/Vickers (the builders), it has been a pretty seamless process. We are currently picking out cabinetry for the kitchen and bathrooms and appliances. Every week is something new! I have posted new pictures from up through yesterday.

Framing today!

I just got the call that they are going to start framing today! Once this got going, it really has gone quickly. We are having some issues getting the window style approved with the association, so we might hold up the framers if the windows don't come in soon enough. We really hope they approve the style we like. It's called prairie style as opposed to the traditional colonial style that is much more common. It would just add some personality to the house. Anyhow, great news on the framing!

We've got a foundation!

Well, Mike (my father-in-law) calls me with hourly reports from the lot. He called me Friday to tell me that they did indeed pour the slab that day and that wood was there for framing. I drove by today with Matt's brother and sister to check it out. It is so exciting to see it take shape! We finally made our decision on our brick this week and looked at granite on Friday as well. Every week is a new decision to make. For us indecisive people, that hasn't been as bad as we had imagined as long as they give us only a few options. :) The brick has been so hard because you are just sent out to find something you like without really knowing if you can afford it or if it's available. I think that is why it took us soooo long to decide. We are glad we're over that hurdle. I will post some pictures in the next few days of the progress so far. xoxo, sums

It's cleared!

We went by the lot yesterday, and it looked great! It actually looked bigger than I expected it to look, suprisingly. We are so excited to finally be on our way with this. We're nearing the decision on the brick but still haven't totally decided yet much to the builders' chagrin I can assume. :) We're getting there though. We did pick out our front door, which we both really like and was under budget! We met our neighbors for the second time yesterday. They seem like such nice people, just a middle-aged couple. We are fortunate to have friendly neighbors who don't seem like they will be too overbearing. We are just very excited about the house!

Our lot!

They just cleared our lot yesterday, so we're finally on the way! We are deciding on brick right now, which is such a difficult choice to make. We feel we are nearing the final decision, though. We are also deciding on our front door and window style/trim. We are very excited about the house and can't wait to share it with our friends and family. :)

Easter Egg Hunt at Gracelyn's House
This was our second year to hunt eggs at Gracelyn Sovel's house. Madeline enjoyed it and ended up really enjoying the swing set, too. :) Love how her, Natalie and Brayton all got very distracted by the swing set.

Madeline the Harmonica Machine
With her harmonica by her side, she is quite the musician. :) Given to her by her Uncle Clay.

Braves Game 2012
A little clip from the Braves game we went to in April. Our little Brave had a great time this year! Don't be hatin' on her mean dance moves either. :) 

A chat with Madeline...24 months
I love sitting with Madeline and asking her questions, interview-style. Here is one of those sessions during some post-nap, snack time on mommy's bed. :) I cherish these moments with her!

Riding her first mall ride...
Madeline just loved this ride with the animals, when it wasn't even moving! So, when I mentioned the possibility of RIDING it, she almost could not control herself. :) She was in hog heaven!

Disney World 2012!
This is day one of character meet and greets. Madeline loved each character equally though I think Cinderella made the biggest impression. :) Here is a snippet of her meeting Minnie Mouse. 

2 year check up
Madeline had a great check-up because there were no shots involved!!! I learned the great importance of the stairs on this visit. It distracted her for the longest time, and she was able to show Dr. Rachesky her climbing skills. :) 

A moment with Madeline in the fridge...
One of Madeline's latest loves is standing in the fridge. This video is from mid-January (22 months). Absolutely love her family representation! :)

Madeline is a mommy
Madeline's Mimi got her her first baby doll for Christmas along with a stroller, high chair and carrier. She immediately attached herself to this doll. Here is a little snippet of her first moments as a little mommy to Emma. :) 

Meeting Santa
Madeline did great with Santa this year. She was really excited about it, and you might not be able to see, but she blushed whens he first saw him. Super adorable!

Christmas Song by Madeline and her mommy
So, Madeline LOVED learning and singing Christmas songs this year. We thought we would share our family talents with you all. :) 

Crib Fun
Madeline has two new friends who are twins, Ashlynn and Tarynn. They are just precious little girls. They came to play one morning, and this is a snippet of their fun together. I just can't get enough of their sweet giggles and voices! 

Titi Rosy
A visit to my old office at Yale Surgical Dermatology. Madeline got to sit in her Titi Rosy's lap and look at fun characters on the computer.

Halloween Hair
Madeline's Su Su gets her hair crazy staticy!

Racing Daddy
Madeline loves hotels and especially loves the long hallways. Here is a little clip of a race she and her daddy ran. :)

Hannah & Madeline
Hannah is a few months older than Madeline. She lives two houses down from us. One morning, she came to play, and I heard the two of them giggling so sweetly from the playroom...this is what I found. :)

Braves Game 2011
Madeline's second Braves game attended in September. She had a great time and so did we. :)

Body Parts

Madeline at 18 months pointing to her body parts. :)


Movie Date with Maddox
Madeline and Maddox watch a Baby Einstein DVD together. They were pretty excited about it. :) I love how Madeline keeps looking over at him to make sure he thinks it's as cool as she does. :)

Happy Day

We have figured out that Madeline wants to say "Happy Birthday" when we sing to people, so she says "Happy Day" instead. :) One day right around Matt's birthday, which is also Adam Peaden's birthday and close to Mark Jones' birthday, I got this video. :)


Madeline and her brown blanket
Madeline loves to walk around while be blindfolded by blankets, clothing, etc. She has also learned to count to two and then fall or just yell. :)

Pool time with Maddox
Water is the best way to be outdoors here in Florida. :) We have gotten a lot of use out of this little pool this summer. Here is a clip of some fun we had with Tiff and Maddox one day in July.

Shopping at Target...Madeline style

I love to let Madeline run around the store, if I don't need a buggie. This day she ran over to the laundry baskets and had quite a fun time sorting my groceries in the baskets. :)


Madeline's 1st Movie

Our local movie theater plays children's movies in the morning during the summer. So, Poppy (my dad) accompanied us to Madeline's first movie in a theater. I am not sure who was more excited, Poppy or Madeline. :) She really loved the idea of the theater and the people and stairs and movie (in that order). :)


Dinner with Madeline
Madeline can be quite a character during mealtime especially once we give her a rag to play with. We gave her blueberries and blackberries at the end of this meal, which explains the insane mess on her and everything else in her grasp. :)

Helping mommy clean
Madeline has mastered the skill of helping mommy clean up around the house. She spilled some milk the other day on the floor, and she decided to do a little spot cleaning after we were done with the big stuff. :)

Maureen's Surprise 30th Birthday!
We schemed up a surprise 30th for our wonderful Maureen. Matt & I were responsible for getting her there, and this was the wonderful reaction when she realized what was happening. :) Happy Birthday sweet lady! xo

First time in swim ring
Madeline loves the water, and we are blessed to have pools galore at our disposal. :) She walked up to another little boy's ring this weekend and acted like she wanted to get in, and this video is what happened afterward. She wasn't scared at all and really enjoyed herself!

Where is Madeline...oh, she's under the tanktop!
Madeline has a new obsession with clothes on her head and walking around without being able to see. Here she performs her skills for her adoring fans. :) Oh and yes, that is a bib on backwards around her neck...closest thing to a cape. :)

Memorial Day pool time
We spent Memorial Day at Matt's mom and Warren's house to swim in the pool and celebrate Sums's birthday. Madeline enjoyed herself in the pool and learned how to jump in...with a little assistance from her daddy. :)

Madeline's words-14 months
Madeline shows off her vocab for her adoring fans. :)

New skill
Madeline has learned to climb! Luckily, she is pretty cautious. But, I managed to get her first real climb on video. :)

Special new words...
Madeline has said "mama" for a while now but without any real purpose it has seemed to us. Last week, she looked at me and said it, and it was just precious. :) Also, this is a shout out to our sweet friends', the Cristinas, new baby girl...Miss Aubrey Renee! Madeline can somewhat say "Aubey" now. Love you guys!

Sliding at Aunt Sandy's house
Aunt Sandy set up her backyard for Madeline to play one morning. She had a great time on the slide. :)

Greeting Mimi and crib tour
Madeline has mastered the art of making people feel so good by her deilghtful greetings. Earlier this day, she greeted my mom with the sweetest giggles and squeals. This was right after she woke up from her nap, and it wasn't AS good as earlier in the day. She then gave a nice tour of her crib. So, I thought it was worth posting. :)

Shopping with Mimi
Madeline and Mimi take a stroll pushing a cart at Kohl's. Shopping is serious business! Thank you Poppy for Madeline's pretty dress. :)

Serious Look
Madeline has recently mastered a "serious look" with a very furrowed brow. It's too funny. She has had a pretty good "stink eye" since birth, but this one is with purpose now. She will do it and just laugh afterward. She cracks up anyone who is around when she does it.

Eating in carseat

On the way back home from Mike's condo, Madeline enjoyed her snack time in her carseat. She has very much learned how to "dig in" shall we say. :)


Swimming with Daddy
Madeline had a great time swimming in the pool at the condo.

Water spouts at Destin Commons

We took a weekend trip to our friend's, Mike, condo in Destin. One night we took Madeline to the Commons to eat dinner and let her play in the kid area. Well, little miss thang decided to run into the water fully clothed and had a blast. :)


First fishing with Daddy
Matt caught a fish to see how Madeline would react. It was too cute. She would touch it and just giggle. :)

Madeline & Sarah
My mom has a kitty named Sarah, and Madeline really enjoyed petting her the other day. Sarah normally doesn't let this type of thing happen, so I guess they became fast friends.

Madeline in Matt's Johnny Jump Up
Matt's dad has saved a lot of Matt's childhood toys and decided to unearth this contraption to see what Madeline would do in it. She never really got into jumping in anything and still didn't seem to get it in this thing. :)

Introduction to the farm...
We went strawberry picking with friends in early April to a local farm. They have an area with farm animals, and Madeline wasn't too fond of the noises they made. :)

Strawberries taste good!
Madeline loves strawberries, but this girl put a hurtin' on these palm-sized berries! I think she ate at least a dozen of these honkers. She had a blast eating and getting super messy. This is at the beginning, so the outfit was still relatively clean. Her buddy Brayton was very kind to the berries and wanted to put them back on the stem. :)

Madeline and the chicks
So, we went back to see the baby chicks and bunnies before we left the strawberry farm. Madeline really them a lot, better than the loud animals. :)

A girl has to have her purse...
So Madeline was given this adorable Paris Hilton purse with the little puppy in it and everything. One day we went to the health food store, and I let her do some shopping while we were in there. She is such a girl...

Brushing hair

Madeline's Auntie Maureen gave her this hairbrush before she was born, and she has recently learned to "brush" her hair with it and loves it. :)


Noodle & Doodle
Madeline and Natalie are both mobile now, but Natalie is still scooting around as Madeline runs from her. Poor baby, she gets to where Madeline is and then Madeline runs off laughing trying to get a solid game of chase on. :) They are so cute playing together, aren't they Deej?!

Madeline learning how to play basketball with her daddy
Matt plays on a rec league basketball team. One Saturday, we went up to the community gym where he plays and let Madeline learn a few moves from her Daddy...and of course showcase her beautiful belly while she was at it. :)

Tickling Daddy
Madeline is fond of belly buttons and tickling. Here she has combined her two favorite activities with her Daddy. :)

Pool & naked time :)
Madeline has become an outside addict! Don't even consider opening the backdoor if you don't have plans to take her out with you. :) She got a pool/sandbox from her Aunt Cynthia & Uncel Greg for her birthday, so this is a clip of her trying it out this weekend. Also, she knows where her belly is now!

Laughing with mommy
Madeline likes to lift up my shirt when I bend over and pull at my skin. She thinks it's pretty hilarious.

Dancing on command
Madeline began to dance on command last night, and we got the biggest kick out of it. She really can keep us laughing. :)

First Steps!
Madeline decided to take the big leap of faith and venture out upright with no assistance on her own two little legs. :0) Her feelings on the matter are quite apparent as are ours.

Madeline finding a new sound
Yesterday at Target Madeline started to coo sweetly and make a new little sound. It was sooo sweet. I had to catch it on video. :)

Mommy making Madeline laugh!
Madeline is laughing so much more now. She anticpates us doing things that make her laugh, which is so cute. I think I could listen to her all day...oh wait, I do! :) Little munchkin!

Madeline waking up
Madeline is quite the grunter...whether sleeping, awake or eating! Matt was waking her up so that I could feed her before her "bedtime" (whatever that is :)

Madeline's Dreaming
