Oh Maddie....you're so cute!

This is a short clip of Maddie after she has eaten her bannanas for the first time. I fed her the baby food outside because she loves the outdoors. That might have helped her ease into eating and now we are feeding her in a highchair. She seems so small to be in a highchair but she can get all messy in there. In the background of the video you hear Les stapling lights around our deck. Just to help identify the wierd sound.

She loves eating baby food now. We had a very hard time getting her to eat cereal. We tried the cereal with bannanas and we were successful. Thank goodness. So far, Maddie has eaten: bannanas and peas. We are trying one food a week and switching between a fruit and veggie. I will post more pictures of her eating later. Thank you for checking in on us!!!!

Last weekend with our family

I had to put this picture first because it is so cute. Maddie's First Halloween! We had to prop her up between the pumpkins but it turned out really cute. (She always crosses her little feet....aww..)

Last weekend, Mimi, Opah, Aunt Krisit, Uncle Curt and Chloe came to visit Miss Maddie. They drove in from Midland for the weekend and they got to see Les play on Saturday night. It was a short trip but very fun. The girls went shopping on Saturday and we took the kids to the pumpkin' patch next to Maddie's school. The weather was amazing and we took some darling pictures. Then we went out to dinner and headed to Les' show in Buda. Chloe loved seeing Maddie. She sat next to her in the car and entertained her while we drove around town. We loved seeing everyone and here are some pictures from our weekend together. Enjoy!

After our family left on Sunday, Les and Maddie watched football. Maddie loves to watch football, she talks and babbles to the tv the whole time. While they watched football, I was able to steal away a few minutes to myself. I think Les is training her to like football. Oh goodness....

We love our family time!

Mawmaw & Pawpaw drove in for the weekend to the Woodlands to see Maddie. They couldn't believe how big and strong she is. She immediately started laughing and talking to them. She was so excited to see her great grandparents. We went to dinner, shopping and just played with Maddie all weekend. It was so much fun but it just went too fast. Take a look at our fun family weekend. (Oct. 12 weekend)

The proud Great Grandparents!
Maddie loves football especially LSU, but Pawpaw was upset by the play and couldn't believe what happened.
Maddie decided to chew on the cork while we ate our dinner, silly girl. Where did you get that cork????
Great Mawmaw stealing kisses before we have to leave :(
Great Grandparents with their granddaughter & great granddaughter!!

This is Maddie's new favorite thing to do: stand up on your lap. It cracks us up because she is so little but she loves to stand up.
Papa making Maddiebug fly.....so sweet!

This is just a fun picture: Brandon holding Maddie at Wade's birthday party last week. She got passed around all night and hung out with all the other band babies. Another little generation of band kids.

Maddie's Night Out

Maddie started her night out by going to Fridays to get some supper.

Maddie wants to order some "rice cereal with a little milk on the side!"
Just sitting with the girls at the table....I am such a big girl.

Then, Maddie went with me, aunt rae rae, nana and papa to Rolling Oaks to listen to some live music. She loves going out there because it is outside with the wind blowing and music playing.

She is definetly a "music baby."

Maddie asked the bartender, "do you have any nutrimagen on tap?"
"If so, i will take the short one, thank you!"

Papa took over for a little while, Maddie had to have a quick bottle.Maddie finished her night off by flying through the air while listening to "purple rain" thanks to Mr. Ricky. It was the perfect ending to a fun night which was a late night too. She was a trooper!

Belly Laugh from Maddie Bug

Cereal Face!

We fed Maddie her cereal tonight for dinner and she made a huge mess. We had to give her a bath after her dinner. She is really starting to like it more now that she is feeling better. Maddie kept grabbing the spoon and trying to put it in her mouth. Then she sneezed and it went all over me and her. Les and I just laughed....so priceless!

New carseat for princess Maddie

While I was in The Woodlands over my long weekend, we bought Maddie a new car seat. She used to buck around and cry when she had to be in her "bucket." I couldn't take it anymore because we wanted to go places and she would get mad. So.... my mom and I talked about it and found a car seat which Emmy and The Triplets have. (We think....) Thank you to Stephanie and Julie for talking about the carseat because it convinced us to think about it too. It is AWESOME! She loves her new seat and doesn't mind when we travel because she is laying back in her own "lazy-boy." It is velour and it reclines. She is such a princess. We tried it out at home before we put it in the car....she seems pretty happy!!!

This is Maddie in the car in her new seat. She played with her toys on our trip home too!
