Valentines Day

So last Valentines Day we decided to start a little tradition with Madeline and we take her to Build A Bear. Last year we just picked it out for her but this year we decided to let her pick. She kept wanting the same 4 a polar bear, a black bear, a bunny, and a purple hippo. So we got those 4 animals and held them in front of her so she could pick one but she just strechted her arms as wide as she could and hugged all of them. She finally picked the bunny and kept calling it "dewey" so that is what we named it. Can't wait for next year!!

She finally did it!

Madeline slept through the night for the first time in about 2 months! With teething and then being sick for so long she was waking up all night long! Hopefully this trend continues because I sure liked the sleep!

This morning after I changed her diaper I got up and threw it away and I turned around and Madeline had gotten a wipe and was wiping on of her teddy bears and then wanted to put a diaper on it. It was so funny and cute!!

New fabrics!!

I have gotten some new fabrics and am making burp cloths to go with the nursing covers. This is such a great gift! Check them out at maddilou.blogspot.com !

Somersaults

So Madeline has always been fast at her motor skills I guess you would say. The last couple days we have showed her how to do somersaults and today she started doing them on her own. She is so funny! We have to get this girl in tumbling...just like her father!

Tis the Season

For Sicknesses!!!! Maddie never got sick during the first year of her life, and that sadly has come to an end. We spent a few hours on Christmas in the hospital with a stomach virus. She was so sick and I had given her tylenol to help with her 100 degree temp and then 2 hours later it was 103.5 so at 1 in the morning we were in the ER. She was a bit dehydrated and they kept her there until she would keep down fluids and her temp dropped. She was sick for about 5 days. The hardest part is she was doing so good at eating solids (finally!) before this and I was getting her weaned to about 4 times a day... When she was sick all she wanted to do was nurse and she wouldn't drink anything else so I felt like she was a newborn again. So we just started getting better at eating when she decided to get sick again. My sister in law brought her a stuffed animal today and she carried it all around with her it was cute. I think it helped. We also got her a new denim dress she was going to wear to church today but she didn't get to since she was sick but she saw it in her room and brought it to me and wanted to wear it. She is so funny, and I even got a smile!

The last month

Busy!!

I keep getting comments that I need to post another blog on here so here it goes. We have been so busy this last month with Thanksgiving, finals, and all three of us getting sick at different times...yes it has been fun. Madeline is still cute as ever. She is starting to talk more and it is so fun! She had her one year appointment and weighed 19 lbs, so pretty much the same as Carrie's 4 month old!! It's a miracle that she weighs that much with how active she is. I hope that everyone has a great Christmas!!

Happy Birthday Madeline!

Madeline turned one on November 13th. I can't believe that it has already been a year! It has gone by so fast and she has changed so much in a year. We had a party for her on the 13th. It was fun. When we gave Maddie her first piece of cake I thought that she would mash it all over but she just stuck her finger in it and sucked on it. She is such a lady! She even shared with me. It was so cute! I am very grateful for this wonderful little girl!

I am having trouble uploading pictures but they will come soon!

This last week has been a long one! She has been getting in her top teeth and she has sure let us know about it! We didn't even know she was teething with her 2 bottom teeth so we were hoping that was how it was going to be with all of them! She has been waking up 6-7 times a night and fussing all day long. One tooth is through so we have one left! For Halloween she was a Care Bear! So cute!
