A few pictures....

Ok so I haven't had a second to type up any posts, but I did my pictures uploaded which is half the battle. I'm going to go ahead and publish the pictures and I'll add in text this week. I'm sure you can figure out what's going on!

First Haircut

Madeline's hair was starting to get a little questionable at the bottom and with pictures coming up, we thought it was time for a trim. The thought of a wiggly child and scissors really didn't mesh well in my head, so we decided to leave it to the professionals at Cookie Cutters. This place is fantastic because they distract your kid with Elmo videos and a cool car and just wait for the chance to make a few snips. Madeline loved the pampering and did a great job. Hopefully it will be a while before she needs it again.

Happy Easter!

At Day at the Museum

The Indianapolis Children's Museum that is. My parents were able to visit us once again for Easter weekend and with having Good Friday off, we decided it was the perfect day for our first venture to the Children's Museum. After arriving precisely at opening and scoring a great parking spot, we headed off to a day of fun, adventure, and play!

1 Year Check Up

Yes, I know. She's now 13 months. I have a life people!

I love trips to the doctor, as long as they're the scheduled kind. (Not the emergent my is super sick kind!) Aside from losing a shoe at the doctor's office, it was pretty uneventful. Madeline weighed in barely scrapping the 18 pound mark, which puts her in the 5th percentile for weight. She is now 28.5 inches long, making her 25th for height. Needless to say, she is still a tiny peanut! Looks like she will be checking at the back seat of the car for quite a while longer.

Developmentally, she has perfected standing up on her own, so walking and running are now her primary means of travel. She is talking so much and picking up new words every day. We are constantly amazed at her communication skills and her ability to understand us. Her favorite skill these days is waving 'bye bye" to everyone, whether they're leaving or not. She is still suffering from crazy stranger anxiety, but plays well with anyone when she gets the chance. Her hair is getting so much longer, but there's still not enough to pull up in pig tails yet!

And now for the updates I've been meaning to put up...

Madeline and friends cheering on the Colts at the Superbowl. Fortunately she was asleep when they lost.

And now for the updates I've been meaning to put up....

Brad and I were just discussing how Indy has seen more snow this year than any other year we've lived here....probably even combined! Stupid global warming! We decided to let Maddie take a trip outside. She was very enthusiastic for the first 2 minutes. However her gloves kept coming off, leading to cold, wet hands. She soon realized that snow is not as charming as it appears. A girl after my own heart. Hopefully we can obtain a sled by next year so that she can the snow without actually sitting in it.
