Mad's blessing

Well, I've been trying to think of things to blog about and I thought I never blogged about Madison's blessing, so I'll post some pictures and what not. Mad was blessed on May 2, 2010. Scott blessed her. His Dad, brother -in -law and our Bishop were in the circle. We didn't invite too many people cause we didn't have enough room in our house for them! My parents, his parents, little sister, older sister and her family, and my best friend and her husband came. It was lovely. It was fun to have them all together. We're so lucky to have great friends and family around us! Mad looked so cute in her big poofy dress. I think she was feeling pretty proud of herself. Even though she can't really sit up on her own, I'm pretty sure she was sitting a little taller that day. Scott was so nervous to give her the blessing but he did great. Here are some pictures from that day...











Other than that, there's not too much new going on. Scott's going to finish up his last semester of school. We're both just working away. We bought our town home in October and we love it! Mad is continuing to grow and grow and grow. Here are some of the new things that she has discovered in the last couple of weeks:

1. Rolling her tongue. She LOVES rolling her tongue. She just discovered this last week and she does it all the time. It's so cute.

2. Her toes. We got her one of those Bumpo chairs and while sitting in it she discovered her toes. She loves touching them and trying to suck on them. By the way, she has stinky feet. Because she's a little baby it's very cute. She loves it when I smell them and then pull my head away really fast while fanning my face. She thinks it's quite hilarious.

3. She now laughs... well, kind of a loud chuckle. She loves when Daddy tickles her ribs with his mouth. She laughs so loud at that. He's the only one who can get her to laugh. It's happy for him but sad for me. I try so hard to make her laugh and it never happens.

4. Yelling at her toys. She has a few favorite toys, however, Scott and I can only let her play with them for so long because she starts screaming at them and pulling their legs really hard. Then she starts crying hysterically. It's funny for a few minutes than just annoying to listen to.

5. Rolling over. I know that I said earlier that she has mastered rolling over but now her new thing is to roll over onto her tummy and then to cry hysterically because she has yet to master rolling from her tummy to her back. She rolls onto her tummy and then looks at you like you put her there and are the reason she's distressed.
