Amanda's Wedding

At the beginning of November Madison and I flew to Texas for my cousin's wedding as you know and I just wanted to post some cute pictures that we took.

Madison and Aunt Kim. Look at how they both have the squinty smiles.

9 Months Old

As you all saw our Madison turned 9 months old last Saturday. She defnitely did some growing up this past month. She is keeping me very busy and helping the deployment go by quicker. It seems that just when I need it she'll just start smiling really big at me or start fake laughing. I can't help but get a smile on my face as well.

Update time, this past month she:
*weighs 16 lbs. 1oz and is 26.3 in. long and the Dr. said perfectly healthy :)
*learned to crawl..yay!
*learned to pull herself to standing and also will try standing with her bottom up in the air and her hands still on the ground ( it's so cute)
*said "mama" indiscrimintely as well as other "words"
*had to say goodbye to her daddy :(
*loves to hear his voice over the phone, I can tell because she gets this really big adorable smile when she hears him
*flew on a plane for the very first time to Texas
*had her first cold
*likes to grunt and kind of make a growling sound (it's hard to explain) :)
*spent her first church service in the nursery

Being silly.

Her and Rufus playing with the same box. :)

One of her favorite pasttimes....standing on anything that she can pull up on.

First Time Flying

We went to my cousin Amanda's wedding in Texas so it was Madison's first time on a plane. She looked so cute in her umbrella stroller. Unfortunetely she lost her dinner on the trip to Texas but the return she did great. They flight wasn't really full so we were able to have two seats.

All ready to go.

The latest Madison Phase

Madison went through this funny stubborn phase where she didn't want to sit down in her highchair. Instead she'd stiffen up her legs, pooch out her belly and push her chin into her chest; revealing a double chin. This phase is almost completely over now but this picture I got one morning of her is so cute and shows what she was doing perfectly.

Awwww, our little cutie!!! :)
