Happy 11 months!

Since we were up north when Maddie turned 11 months I decided to use my favorite photo of her on vacation! She is getting to be such a big girl. She is about 18 pounds and a growing, growing girl! Here is what she is up to now...
-No more Crawling....WALKING only in our house! (talk about exhasting!)
-She has 8 teeth now...and is working on some more.
-Loves to eat anything that we are eating. She is not a pickie baby at all.
-If we say no and move her, she sure lets us know that she is not happy!!
-Loves Daycare and her friend Kailey!
-Babies are her favorite...if you give her a baby she will be happy for HOURS! She get this cute little smile and pulls her everywhere.
-She says Baba, Mama, Dada, Owwie, Hi, and she walks around saying "ohhh" all the time.
-Gives kisses and hugs
-Tackles her puppy and steals his toys.
-LOVES the pool and swimming lessons.

She is a busy girl, never sits still (even in her sleep) and she just loves life and people! We do not know what we would do without her. Its crazy those few days at the beginning of the week when we didn't have her it was a different world, a world that we forgot what was like.

Up North!

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted! It has been very busy at our house. THis last week we spent some time up north at Breezy Point. Madelyn went up with Grandma and Grandpa and Auntie Nenna on Saturday and we joined them on Tuesday. We had so much fun going to the pool, swimming in our hot tub in the cabin, snowmobiling and just watching Madelyn Jo run circles around the cabin! It was sure a lot of fun! Maddie even went down to the slide with Daddy and played in the kiddie pool. It was a fun week and we sure wish we could go back!! Check out the pictures below! We had lots of fun!!!!

10 MONTHS

Look who is 10 months old! We can hardly believe she is this old already! When Josh and I were taking the pictures we just watched in amazement as she stood right up, looked at us and smiled. What a gift from GOD! We cannot imagine a life without our Madelyn Jo!
Heres what is new in our BUSY BUSY household!
-MJ now enjoys opening up cupboard doors, and pulls everything out. She especially loves our DVD stand where she takes down all the movies and smiles as she does so!
-She takes toys, looks at you and drops them to see if you will pick them up. :)
-SHE IS WALKING! 4-5 steps before she falls. I think she will be ready for Uncle Bubba's wedding in June!
-No more BABY food..MJ is a big girl! :)
-Says, Mama, Dada, Baba, Hi, I, and pup.
-Has become kind of a mama's girl!
-Loves going to Daycare. I think we bore her at home sometimes!
-Is in swimming lessons and loves jumping off the side into the pool.
-Now "drinks" her bath water when on her tummy. Super cute to see and we think she is getting this from swimming lessons because we try to "blow" bubbles during lessons.
-Goes sledding at Daycare...but really the kids just pull her around in a sled. Super cute to see!

All in all she is a wonderful little one. We thank God each day for this sweet little angel that we were given. We are amazed at her each and every day and we are so lucky to be her parents!

I am a big girl now!



Maddie loves her puppy!



Happy 10 months Maddie Jo! We love you!!!!

Go Vikings!

Even though the Vikings didn't win the other weekend, Grandma and MJ cheered them on! They even wore matching jerseys! GO VIKINGS!
