Well, it's been a while since I've blogged and it's all been because I'm lazy. Some new things that have happened are Scott graduated from school. YEA! Now the job hunt has begun. Mad is almost 16 months and is learning everyday. She's so smart. She can point to her eyes, nose, ears, toes, fingers, teeth, tongue, and booty. If you say bum she'll just look at you. But if you say booty she knows right where it is. She is such a genius!

Some other exciting news is that we're expecting our 2nd baby! We're due in November. Just in time for the holidays. We're keeping our fingers crossed for a boy so keep yours crossed too!

This is one of my favorite pictures of Mad taken a couple of months ago.

Look at this smile! This picture of her is my favorite. I could just kiss that face forever.

While doing the Easter Egg Hunt. Hilarious.

Mad's Easter dress. Isn't she adorable?

Mad's Randomness

Mad loves sitting in her buzz chair while playing with my phone. But more than that she loves those overly bright stripped pants she's wearing.
Discovering her shadow.
Her new thing is to put a towel on her head and walk all over. Mostly she'll cover her face and run blindly around the house until she's knocked down by various large objects.
Mad and her bestie Frankie. Frankie is my BF's little guy. So cute!

Mad's One Year Birthday

Well, it was Mad's 1st Birthday yesterday. I can't believe my baby is a year old. She is the biggest blessing. Each and every day she brings so much joy into our lives. I am so grateful for her and her sweet little spirit. Here are some pictures from her little birthday party.... oh, and pay attention to the fabulous checkered cake I made. Man, I am SO talented!

Christmas at Grandma's

My Nana and Papa were down from California for Christmas. Yea! It was so much fun to see them and spend Christmas with them. I didn't post any pictures of Mad opening gifts because I don't think our flash was on and the pictures came out iffy. But here are some pictures from the four days were at Mom's.

Christmas was great. I finally gave Scott a black Wii. He loved it. We play it everyday. Our fav's right now are Donkey Kong and Super Mario Brothers. He also got from me, a scrapbook of his mission, sweats, a shirt, wii accessories, and Mario Kart. I got some boots, PJ's, a Nook ( LOVE LOVE my Nook), a recipe book, and a jewelry holder. It was great fun!

Mad got blocks, a toy phone, a Lady Bug Pillow Pet, some VTech books, and LOTS of clothes from our families. She got spoiled! She got lots more but I can't remember....

Me, Mad, and Nana. Cute girls!

Mad loves Moose. She was constantly following him and giving him hugs. He kind of just ignored her.
Mad loved pounding on Papa's keyboard. She felt pretty cool.

Stocking gifts!

We were spending Christmas at my parents house so we opened our stocking gifts a little early. Mad got some new bath towels and some little toys. She loved her little cups and didn't really care about her towels. This picture is funny because she kind of looks like a man from India. But that's cool

Yea! New bath toys!
Here Daddy is helping Mad with her stocking. And Mad's stocking is by far way bigger than me and Scott's.

Here comes Santa Claus...

This past week we took Mad to the mall to see Santa. I thought she'd cry and throw a fit but sure enough, she loved him! She just sat on his lap and stared at him. She even leaned back and got all comfy. She was so stinking cute! I think Mad likes Christmas. She loves our tree- although we don't let her go near it. She has this tendency to put the pine needles in her mouth. It's so exciting celebrating our first Christmas with Mad. I've just loved shopping for her and wrapping her presents.

Time flies...

Wow, so I haven't posted in a long time and I have a TON of pictures. But that's all people really care about right? Is pictures. So here they are....

Mad is standing! I can't believe it but here she is. Oh and don't mind the outfit.....

At my job I'm lucky enough to have a week off for Thanksgiving. I've decided that my #1 goal would be to scrapbook Mad's pictures. It's been on my to do list for about.. let's see how Mad old... 10 MONTHS. And I must admit, it took me a while to get into the grove of it but here are some of my favorite pages. Hope you enjoy!

This is a good picture to use as blackmail someday. On this day Mad put her finger into her nose and then into her mouth. Disgusting but she's at the age that it's semi cute and hilarious.

This is a little wagon that I checked out at my work. Mad loves it. I took her for a little ride in it and she thought that was the coolest thing. Don't worry fellow employees... I will return it! I promise. But probably not til after Christmas when I buy her one :0)

Look at that face. How STINKIN cute.
