I've been tagged
The rules: Tell 10 interesting/weird things about you. When you are done assign 3 others the same task.
1. I have lived in 8 states so far. I say so far because I really hope that I get to live in many more places. I love meeting new people and getting to see the new scenery. Luckily I am married to someone who is adventurous too!
2. When I was a nanny in NJ a big group of us decided to drive to Virginia Beach. We drove through the night and we all felt pretty gross from traveling so far. We had our swim suits on and right when we got to the beach they were shutting it down temporarily because of a severe rain storm. Well we decided to take this opportunity and shower in the rain. If you haven't done it before it should be on your list of things to do before you die. It was the best shower ever!
3. My biggest pet peeve is when people don't put shopping carts away and just leave them wherever they want in the parking lot. Come on people are we that lazy we can't take 30 seconds and walk to the cart drop off? I always feel so bad for the little old men walking out in the freezing weather to pick up the carts. If you are one of them you should feel very bad!
4. I am terrified of heights...and one time I bungee jumped...never again...
5. One Sunday a couple friends of mine were flying down to Mexico on a private jet the next day. A spot opened up and I happened to be in the right place and the right time. It was so much fun! The inside of that jet was amazing!
6. I was almost struck by lightening once upon a time. I had a friend who was a photographer and needed help during a lightening storm to get a picture. We were outside and it hit a tree probably 15 feet away. You could feel the electricity in the air and there was this strange burning smell in the air from where it hit the tree. It was pretty scary.
7. I am almost 28 and I have a 10 year old sister at home. It's weird that she is only 9 years older than Madeline. She is such a sweet little aunt though!
9. I have gotten to wear 4 Superbowl rings. My institute teacher in NJ was Bart Oates wife and her and I became friends. He was the center for the 49ers and the Giants when they won the Superbowl's back in the 90's.
10. So I didn't get an epidural when I had Madeline, and it was by choice. I had a moment where I thought I couldn't handle it and they checked me and I was at an 8, and five minutes later I was at a 10. It was probably the coolest thing that I have done. It is just amazing that you can go through that just to bring a child into this world, and survive it. I will definetly do this again.
I am picking more than the 3 because I am. I think that I will tag Carrie, Jessica, Michelle, Mardi, Daphne and Brittany R. Enjoy!

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!

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!!
