Madison's 13 Month Happenings

So I couldn't help myself and had to do a 13 month photoshoot with Maddie and Tink. Madison couldn't sit still so the pics are even more priceless, and I can't look at them without laughing. She just loves to move!!!

My Wiggle Worm

Madison- " Come on over here Tink"

 Madison-"Are we done yet Mom?"

 Madison- "Walk the plank Tinker Bell"

 Madison- "Just kidding, I LOVE you Tink"

Here are some facts about Maddie and pictures of our month together.

• Learned how to fold her arms and say Amen
• Says baby and uh-ohhh (loves to drop things and then say uh-ohhhhh)
• Gives her baby doll hugs and kisses
• Dances
• Walks with her walker and stands alone (not for very long though)
• Had her first peanut butter and jelly sandwich, it was a big hit!

 Love this pic-Maddie was done taking pics and was ready for her NAP!

 I babysat for a friend and Maddie sat by the baby almost the whole time and kept pointing and saying, "Baby, baby, baby." It was really cute.

 Maddie having a play date with her BFF Reese. These girls play so well together and I love how they love each other.

 Just sitting side by side and having fun putting blocks in the pail!

 One of our monthly highlights was getting to go have lunch with Dr. Parker and listen to his presentation on his medical mission to Africa. It was so fun to see my husband interact with his colleagues and to hear him announced as Dr. Parker. I still can't believe that some times!

 Maddie having another play date with her boyfriend Bridger!!! What am I going to do when we both move???

 Scottie and Daniel at the Jazz game. They made it on TV for their sweet Jazz outfits!!!

 Maddie at Bridger's 2nd birthday party. Here she is above getting ready to take a swing at the pinata.

And finally a picture of Maddie with her fellow girl friends (all so close in age). We took a pic all together during the summer, and now these girls are walking and moving all over the place so it was hard to get them to hold still! LOL. Good times. More pics to come of Maddie's smash cake and 1 year old photos.

Madison's 12 Month Happenings

 Wow a year old already! It's been a great year for sure, def one of our BESTS! Scottie and I can't get over this little girl, and know she has stolen our hearts forever. We love being her parents and had a really fun month with her. As I was taking her Tinker Bell pics, I thought will this be my last photoshoot???? I decided I am not ready to let it go, and will still bust Tink out to take pictures of Maddie next to her from time to time.

The Big 1 Year Old next to Tinker Bell

 Clapping and looking so cute for the camera

 Then deciding she is much to "old" to be sitting so still next to Tink

And finally showing Tinker Bell who is boss, after sitting next to her for a YEAR!!!

Maddie's latest STATS and FACTS
Weight- 17 Lbs 3 Oz (3rd percentile) - Maddie did gain 3 lbs in the last 3 months, so the doc was impressed by that!
Height- 27 inches (3rd percentile)- Maddie almost grew 2.5 inches!!! She is now upgraded to 3-9 month pants, as her 0-3 mo pants are high waters LOL!!!

 New Skills-

• THE COOLEST- Madison can point to Mom, Dad, and Herself in a family picture when asked, "Where is Mom?"  "Where's Dad, Where's Madison?" The doc said it's an 18 month old skill!!! I guess I am raising a genius:)
• Likes to put things inside of containers and then take em out (ie. blocks inside a bucket, and then taking all the blocks out)
• Holds two objects in her hands and then claps them together
• Figured out she can lay on her stomach to get things out of her reach (ie. laying on her tummy to get a ball under the couch)
• Likes to put food in Mom's mouth
