Go BEARCATS!!

Growing Up!

Visiting with Aunt Stacie-wow Maddie is growing up-almost 9 months now.

Crawling, Standing, Falling

Maddie can now crawl wherever she wants to go.

She is also trying to pull up and stand.

Which also means there are going to be falls.

New Carseat!

Trying out the new carseat!

Smile

Trying to get a good shot of Maddie-no smile, no patience today.

Santa

Sitting on Santa's lap for the first time.

Notice the right hand-she has it buried so deep in his beard and is pulling.

The beard is real.

Xmas Dress

Maddie is trying on her xmas dress for the first time!

Sleepy

Literally Sleeping sitting up.

Go Jayhawks!

This looks terrible, but no we don't sit Maddie in front of the TV often, but when the Jayhawks play it is a different story.

Snow Day!

We had a nice snow storm last night that has cancelled school at the University today. (That does not happen very often.)

I am sitting here at work-still plenty to do-but I am making it a priority to get some recent pictures up.

NEW KICKS

I'm trying to show off Maddie's new shoes.

They are not practical, but sure are cute.

Sittin' UP--pretty proud of myself!!

What you don't see is Tyler and I running in every 10 seconds to make sure Maddie doesn't crash and burn.

Lovin

6 month checkup

Maddie had her 6 month checkup this past Wednesday.

She weighed 18lbs 12 oz
She was 28" long
Her head was 17.5 inches

She is off the chart in height- the doctor said Maddie looked great and if anything he said her stats say she has slimmed down a little bit.

Snoozin

Maddie snoozing in the recliner-

(taken about 3 weeks ago-sorry)

FOOD

This in one of the first nights Maddie is eating food. We were out at a restaurant, and I decided to give her green beans for a second time. The first time they didn't go over so well.

The second time was a success-she ate the entire jar.

Cousins
