More nature and napping..

Just a couple more pics that I made Wade pull over so I could take...

Roadtrip snapshots!

Here are some more snapshots that I took on the trip.

More Colorado pics...

Colorado or BUST!!!

This year for Spring Break we went skiing with Wade's family to Wolf Creek, Colorado. It was Maddie's first roadtrip, and except for getting a little ansy at times in her car seat, she was a trooper on this "Griswald family" vacation. She hung out on the ski slopes, went sledding and sight seeing, too. Maddie has traveled through Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Colorado......not to bad for an 8 month old!

The Easter Bunny found Maddie in Colorado

This year we spent Easter/Spring Break in Wolf Creek, Colorado. Even though is was cold outside and there was snow everywhere, Maddie was still dressed and ready for Spring. We found a small church to attend for Easter service, and I do have to say, that Maddie looked like a little angel in her Easter dress....Thank heaven for little girls!

Happy Birthday Miss Maddie!

Maddie is 8 months old today (I cannot believe how much time has flown by)! She is standing and pulling up on EVERYTHING! She is also balancing when she stands, so I am just waiting for her to take her first step, soon. She is full of funny expressions and her smile is everchanging with her 3 teeth. She is full of energy and very persistant...I am so excited of what our future holds with this little "fireball!" Happy Birthday baby, we love you!

Happy Birthday Nite-Nite!

Today is St. Patrick's Day and more importantly, my grandfather's 87th birthday! We love you Nite-Nite and hope you have a wonderful day!

Maddie and the Easter Bunny....

Maddie had a blast visiting the Easter Bunny! I know that when she gets older she will probably be upset with me for putting this hat on her....but I couldn't resist!

More snow angels????

Yes, it is the month of March and we had another day of snow......typical Arkansas weather.

Miss Maddie Update

Maddie is now 7 months and 2 weeks old. Her 3rd tooth (top front one) is coming in and she is picking up anything and everything to chew on. She is pulling up and standing all the time. Her balance is pretty good, so we are expecting her to take her first step, any day now. She has really grown into her big personality and has new "faces" and "looks" all the time. She still smiles all the time and has now started making a new sound.....hi, hi, hi, hi. It is too cute! She loves to pull hair and give big slobbery kisses. One of her new things is looking out the window. I pull the blinds up and put a pillow on the floor for her to sit/stand on. She really gets a kick when she sees her daddy coming home. Maddie is such a sweet and happy baby....she sure has me wrapped around her little finger!

Our Little Snow Bunny!

Here are some pics of Maddie's first snow. We took her outside, sat her down and she did a "face plant" in the snow. Daddy fed her snow....hence the "yucky" face. All in all, I think she really enjoyed it.....BUT, I am hoping that she is going to be a "beach" lover like her mommy :)

Big Dam Bridge

This past weekend I took Maddie and her cousin Dylan to the Big Dam Bridge. The weather was beautiful, but a bit windy. Maddie enjoyed riding, lounging and watching Dylan wiz back and forth on his bike.
