Photo Update

we have had several busy weeks. madison has been a trooper with all the traveling, her dad being gone, and the heat. here are some pics to catch you up on her 'adventures'!


madison was ecstatic to be at the circus, as you can tell. actually she really did like it but didn't quite make it through the second half. notice the snow cone stain?


loving her popsicle. she reaches for them everytime i open the freezer. thankgoodness she likes homemade juice ones just as much as store bought!

so after looking back over this post i realized that the next few pictures indicate that either madison runs around our house naked more often than i thought, or we happened to take a lot of pictures on the same day.


dan was getting madison settled to take a nap by rocking her. she wanted every blanket and stuffed animal that was in her crib, in her arms and on her lap as he rocked her. of course she got everything she wanted.


madison wanted to join dan during HIS nap.


couch potato. enough said


madison has dress up shoes at grandma's house that she loves to walk around in and hear the "click clack" of the heels. well after church a couple weeks ago she came strolling into the kitchen wearing these. i was shocked that she got them on the right feet herself let alone was able to walk in them. I can hardly walk in heels! i didn't get a picture of her face but she was so proud of herself and kept them on for quite awhile. (excuse the crazy hair and nakedness- she had pigtails at church and had just finished eating lunch so her dress was off the piggies were pulled out- not that i need to justify this! - just fyi)


look at those legs! and this kind of shows you how tall the heels were.


because madison is such a 'big girl', she sometimes decides she will not eat from her high chair. so this is how we improvised - hence the high chair tray/plate. she ate everything though so her mom was happy!


madison really likes to watch older kids play and stood mesmerized for awhile before finally digging in herself.


eating a milkshake at the phoenix zoo this morning. after that she had a water bottle she wouldn't let go of - she thinks she should do everything on her own. thankfully, madison LOVES drinking out of straws.
