Maddie had her 18 month check up on Friday. She is doing great according to the doctor with all her developmental stages. She is sleeping through the night ( of course), no bottles, talking a lot, following commands, and feeding herself. We just need to work on getting the pippy. She loves her pippy so this will be hard.
She is weighing only 20 lbs. 4 oz. She is still in the low area for her weight but she has always been small and petite.
The pictures below are from the last few weeks of our busy lives. We had Thanksgiving at our house this year because Rae had to work so that was a treat to have our family here. We ate then decorated my whole house for Christmas, then we went to a Randy Rogers Band show which was awesome! Les turned 33 too right before Thanksgiving so it has been a fun and busy time for us.
We hope you are having a great Holiday Season and we wish you a Merry Christmas!
Les was teaching her that she had pockets and teaching her to put her hands in them. It was so cute!
Daddy and Maddie on his birthday. She is really starting to like opening presents.
Maddie loves to help in the kitchen with whatever you are doing, so she was helping Nana put all the rolls on the cookie sheet.
Happy Thanksgiving Day!
Maddie found her new way to stand so she can see what is going on in the kitchen.
Aunt Rae Rae and Nana are tempting Maddie with the yummy food.

Momma & Maddie
Maddie playing with Daddy's drum sticks at Cowboys.
Uncle Randy is showing Maddie that the guitar is cool too because she LOVES the drums!
We tried to put Maddie on the New Braunfels version of a train but she had nothing to do with it. Oh well....
Maddie and I went Christmas shopping at La Cantera but before shopping we had some supper. Then she played with the light in her darlin' little reindeer outfit from Nana!
It was a great day of shopping just moo and me. We were very successful and ready to head home! She is such a fun shopper which could be dangerous when she is a little older!!!
Maddie has been making this lovely face when you say the word "cheese." Its almost like a donkey face and the more we laugh, the more she does it.
Maddie and her baby getting ready to head out to dinner with Aunt Rae Rae. She was such a little mommy and i had to capture it on camera.
This is such a sweet picture of Maddie and her baby. She looks so big too. 
Playing babies in the kitchen with her stroller, blanket and baby. She is really into playing babies and we have to feed them, bath them and put them night night. She is role modeling after what we do with her. Its so cute.
This is Aunt Rae Rae's new little puppy, named Tucker. He is so cute and tiny!
Les changed Maddie's bed about a week or so ago into the toddler bed. She was getting where she could almost climb into her crib and so we decided to try the big girl bed. The first night, Les and i went in there so much just making sure she was still in the bed. She slept all night and woke up talking then Les got her up.
On January 14, Randy Rogers Band was on the Letterman show. I was so estatic to see our guys on the show and they did awesome! Well, Maddie fell asleep early so she missed the show but we watched it the next day. She couldn't quite figure out how Daddy was on the tv and not here with us. She pointed him and out then danced in front of the tv. WE are so proud of the guys and now we just heard they are nominated for VOCAL GROUP OF THE YEAR AT THE ACM AWARDS!!!!! God is truly blessing us and the band.
