Hot Biscuit!

Sorry.. I know I just posted yesterday, but I couldn't resist putting pics up of Maddi in her gift from Cooper!! Cooper recently went to Japan to visit his family... while he was there, he found the cutest little pants. They are called "hot biscuit". I think this is too funny! I had to get them on her right away... mostly because I'm sure she is only days from outgrowing them!!!

Happy Baby

Maddi... 8 months! Wow. Where has the time gone?? Better question, where has my little baby gone? She is growing up so fast! This past week, she decided that naps were not as cool as they used to be! Once she figured out how to sit up whenever she pleases, she decided to do it at nap time too! One of the pics is how I found her on one of these days... sitting up, slumped over with her face in the crib bars! The other pics are her with one of her new favorite toys. It has lots of parts for her to manipulate and discover new skills!

Okay, hopefully this get a certain someone, Abby, off my back!!! I will try to be better about it!!

8 months

Maddi just turned eight months old!!

She is turning into such a big girl! can't believe how fast things have flown by.

She is almost ready to walk. She is already able to pull herself up on things. We should probably enjoy her as a stationary baby while we can. In a few more weeks she will be waddling her way around the house.

Christmas 2009

Christmas 2009 was a whirlwind! At the last minute we decided to pick up and fly to visit Tyler's parents in Seattle. For the past four years, we have been blessed to be surrounded by amazing people that are commonly referred to as "the boys". We have spent holidays most of the holidays together as a family away from family. Well... this year was different; we are all coming to the end of our time here in MT and so it seemed like everyone was going to be gone. Tomo and Abby bailed on us in the summer, Ryan just moved to LA, and Brandon and Chris were both home visiting their real families. I love all of the hustle and bustle of having the house filled with noisy, rambunctious boys who always manage to eat all of the food that I make, but with everyone gone, let's just say that I was a little sad : (

So, instead of sitting around moping, we headed off to Seattle. We had a great time! No one knew we were coming except Tyler's Tia China, who by the way is an excellent liar, I mean secret keeper! Thanks Tia China!

Maddi had so much fun playing with Devin and Jordan. She didn't know it was Christmas this year, but I have a feeling she will next year! These are just a few of the cute pics we took of her!
