Prunes

UMMM..... prunes really do work. Grandma was giving Madison a bath when she started blowing bubbles and raising her little butt. Grandma noticed a turtle head poking and moved quickly. I came into the bathroom to see how things were going and this is what I saw.

6 months

Can you believe it???? Madison will be six months on January 30th. I remember when she was first born the time felt like it was crawling by, but now I can't believe she is already half a year old.

Here is her update on her doctors visit.

weight: 17 lbs 10 oz (90th %)

height: 25.5 inches (45th %)

head circumference: 42 inches (45th %)

I guess it's safe that she's taking after her mom. She is well fed. She loves food exspecially prunes, but hates peas (she actually gags). She's doing great though.

Here are her favorite things.

1. Jumping

2. Her puppies (she laughs hysterically at them)

3. Daddy (JR swears she is saying Da Da)

4. Mommy (Smiles and laughs when I get goofy)

5. Football (to Grandpas delight)

My little Rabbit

Madison loves to jump. She jumps when you hold her, she jumps in the bathtub, she jumps all the time. Even when she's laying down or in her swing her little legs are always moving. It's pretty cute. Here is a video of her jumping in her jumper. The video turns half way through so she's sideways (opps), but I think you can still get the idea.

5 months!!!!

I can not believe that Madison is already 5 months. Here are some of the things she has accomplished her first five months.

1. Road trip
2. Celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas
3. Eating solids
4. Holds her head up like a professional
5. Recognizes her name
6. Sleeps through the night

This next year she has many things to look forward to.....

1. Meeting Mic and Mark for the first time
2. Being in Mic's wedding
3. Flying to Arizona for Dani's wedding
4. Her first summer
5. Swimming at the water park

Happy 2009

Saying Goodbye

Our family had to say goodbye to my Grandmother this past week. She passed away yesterday after many health problems that started with a broken ankle in November. She would have been 80 years old on New Years Eve. I know that Madison will never remember her, but I am so grateful that Grandma was able to meet her. She smiled so much when she was holding her and couldn't get over how small Madison was. Even when she was very sick she always asked how her little Great Grandaughter was. I will miss her very very much. We love you Grandma!!!

Sledding

Grandma and Grandpa bought Madison a sled for Christmas. We actually have snow right now so we took her into the back yard and ran her around. She tipped over once, but never cried. Aspen, Demon, and Kelty had a blast chasing everybody around and giving out kisses. It's so nice to have everybody down here. Next year we will be able to spend Christmas with Aunt Michala who hasn't had an American Christmas in two years.
