You Are My Sunshine

Fun At Aunt Brenda's

This past Sunday, the three of us went to Aunt Brenda's house to visit with Brenda & Nana.  We had a great time.  Maddie loved playing in Aunt Brenda's living room.  It was wonderful to see them.  On Saturday we were working on saying "Na Na Na Na."

More Posing

Maddie & I continued our photo session this afternoon.  I got a new camera so I was excited to take pictures of Maddie.  Here are some of the pics.  There are so many because I had trouble deciding which ones I liked the best!

Maddie was crying because she wanted Elmo.  I was using him to try to make her smile!

Posing For Momma

This morning I had Maddie posing for a practice photo shoot.  It is now extremely hard to take good pictures of her because she now crawls all over the place.  I think that I took about 75 pictures & these were the only good ones I got.  Thank goodness for digital photography!

Maddie Learning to Crawl

This is video taken of Maddie a couple of weeks ago.  She looked like she was swimming.  It was pretty cute.  As you can see...she is into EVERYTHING!

4th of July

Maddie is now 11 months old.  I can't believe my baby is almost 1 year old.  She has changed so much.  She has finally learned how to crawl!!!!  At first she was just pulling herself on the floor & she looked like she was swimming.  It was pretty funny.  She did this for about a week then finally figured it out.  She is also standing up all the time now & pulling up on anything.  She is also walking holding on to furniture.  You have to watch her every second now.  If you look away for one second...the next thing that you know...she'll be head first on the floor screaming.  She has a couple of bruises & scratches on her head.  She also has developed quite a personality.  She is our little "firecracker."  She screams when we change her diaper or take away something that she wants.  I have no idea where she gets this from =)  Still there are no teeth to report.  She has been teething for 7 months now.  Even without teeth she is able to eat table food.  She also has finally learned "Ma."  It absolutely melted my heart.  It was the sweetest thing that I had ever heard.  

Under the Table

I was cleaning up the kitchen & letting Maddie play on the floor when I noticed that she was very quiet. I peeked around the corner to find her almost under the coffee table. She then saw me & started laughing. She thought that she was very funny!
