Christmas to Now

It's been a long time since I last put anything on here and alot has happened, and so there are 2 posts this time...

Here we have Christmas Eve at my grandparents. Maddie was awesome at opening her presents and it's a good thing cause she's gonna be spoiled :)

Christmas day was so much fun. Maddie was so happy. She didn't really care about the presents (except for her Mickey Mouse movie), but she loved all of the attention she got :)

At her last appointment her doctor said she was ready to start having rice cereal, so for Christmas we tried it out for the first time. She didn't quite know what to think but now she loves it. We also have given her squash, sweet potatoes, green beans, and carrots since then. She loves the sweet potatoes and carrots, but she gagged when we gave her green beans and even threw up once! So we'll have to try those again later...

Lately she has had a cough that has just drug on forever. We took her to the doctor last week and when they tried to take her blood for a test they couldn't find her vein and just poked her forever :( it was so sad, it made me cry. The nurse was telling her that her momma was having a harder time with it than she was haha. The tests they took came back negative so we just have to keep an eye on her. Other than that she's super healthy and a little over 13 lbs :)

Here are some cute recent pictures for you to enjoy...

I can never get over how cute she is. I could just stare at her all day. Which is basically what I do while I'm at work haha

Good News and Bad News

So we'll start with the bad news....

On Sunday our kitchen and front closet flooded. We thought it was from the washing machine cause it was all over in the laundry room and outside our door, but later the toilet started acting weird too. Yesterday morning, while I took Maddie to the doctor, there was like a geyser coming from our toilet and bath tub and once again the kitchen flooded. I guess the sewage or something backed up and went all over our place. It was a good thing Shad was home or all our stuff would probably be ruined. He kept everything under pretty good control. We are now in the process of moving to his mom's house while she is gone. We got most of our things and hopefully we'll be all good to go by Christmas...


For the good news ( and some sad)....

I took Maddie for her 4 month doctor's appointment to get her shots ( which was the sad part) and here are her stats:

Weight- 12 lbs 6 oz- 17th percentile
Height- 24.17 in- 37th percentile
Head- 15 1/2 in- 6th percentile

She's so little and sweet. I love it :)

AND....

We get to start giving her FOOD :) Well at least rice cereal for a few weeks and then we can do vegetables and fruit. I'm sooooooo excited. It's going to be so fun!

To end this post here are some pictures of my sweet, sweet baby :)

Halloween

For Maddie's first Halloween she was a little flower. She was super cute, but she hated the costume! Good thing she tolerated it enough for pictures :)

Super worn out from all the fun :)

For Halloween this year at work we were pirates and we had a little fun playing the part....

ARRRRRR matey...
