Madison has decided headbands and hats are now band items.  Here is what typically happens.







Why won't this stupid thing come off!





She has given up and decided the table is going to have to make it better.




See Mom, I can already balance!



tippy toes

tornado crib style

When Mommy comes to get me from my nap this is the tornado I leave behind!



Yea!  Mom is coming in! (Note the pacifiers on the ground)




You can take a nap with my blankie mom!





I had such a great sleep my energy level tripled!!




Note the changing pad in the crib.....




And not where it is suppose to be....On the changing table!

I made the best lasagna the other night!  And it looks so pretty.  I had to share ;)

wagon fun

Madison and I walked around the block in her new wagon. She loved it and thought is was so funny, kicking her legs and flapping her arms.

happy birthday mommy

Thank you for all my wonderful cards for my birthday!  We had such a fun day in Denver and was by far the best birthday EVER.  It might have to do with it being spent with my beautiful daughter ;)

As most of you know, I have been quite a fan of water for some time.  I was a swimmer for more than 75% of my life which meant long hours, 2-4 hrs/day, in the pool.  If that doesn't increase your love for the water, I am not sure what will.  Because of this deep rooted love, the ocean, rivers and lakes are always favorite activities of mine.

The aquarium was just the next best thing to being near the ocean.  We had such a great time waving to the ducks, laughing at the blow fish and running away from the sharks.  Here is a fun recap of a great birthday!!!



Look at all the fish!




Come here ducky...I need to pet you!




Look at me Sea Otter...Come and play!  (They were doing flips right up at the glass and Madison just giggled.  It was so adorable!)





Talking to the fish





The awesome aquarium





What?!  Did you say shark?!?!




Who needs a kiss? 





Saying hi to Nemo and Nemo saying I Love You Madison back





Mom, can I please see the sharks again!!




Wow, Thanks Mom!




Looking at the Sharks swimming under us



Such a happy baby!

Such a fun day!

mom, i will clean your pantry

Some days I just really need to make supper. In order to do this without being interrupted 95 times I needed to find a new distraction for my little explorer. Recently the pantry has become that helper. Thank you pantry for my baby's entertainment tonight and Thank you Madison for the disaster! Win, Win!

Can I fit between here?

Note the disaster on the shelf above!  Yep...Hurricane Madison has made her mark!
