Since I've been slacking on the pictures....

*****   Here ya go!!!! *****



She looooooves jumpin'.....



Using her walker like a big girl....



Bella & Canon like to get in her way.....



Maddie in her high chair....






In her cute sandals....



Miss Messy Face...




Lots of slobber these days....



Yep... she fell asleep in the Jumperoo...



I couldn't believe it... here she is from the back... still asleep!



Next to her name in her room....



The puppies are obsessed with the baby....



In her first pair of jeans...



Naky Baby!!!!!!....



In her new play yard... Daddy calls it 'her apartment'....



Trying to sit up.... she's doing pretty good!



Still needs a little help from the boppy though....





Maddie is 5 months old today!!  The time is flying by....

She is starting to get really grabby - trying to take everything out of your hands... the phone... the remote... food.... anything! 

She is doing really well with the solid food.  Her schedule is fruit in the morning (1/2 jar)... and then a veggie for dinner (1/2 jar) along with a little bit of rice cereal mixed with formula in a bowl.  We haven't found anything she doesn't like yet, which is GREAT! 

She still has not mastered rolling over.  I think she is just lazy because she gets about 3/4 of the way and then gives up!  I don't know how long it will take for her to fully roll over, she is always content on her back or on her belly, so she isn't motivated by not liking laying a certain way. 

She is still sleeping in her crib and sleeping through the night.  We have had a few bad nights in the past week, not sure what that's about, but hopefully it isn't going to continue.
 She usually goes to bed between 8-9 and wakes up around 7-8. 

She is the love of our lives... apple of our eye... you get the drift!  I really can't imagine what my life would be like without her!


Maddie's 1st trip to the ZOOOOOOO!!!!




It was such a nice day on Sunday... and since Sunday is now officially "Family Day"... we took Maddie to the zoo in Norfolk.  I guess we weren't the only ones with the idea though because they were really, really busy!
 

 
Here is Daddy & Maddie with her new ride.  I wanted to get a smaller stroller for short outings, the travel system stroller is just big and heavy and takes up a lot of room in the back of my truck.  So we bought this one because it folds up really small and is so lightweight!  I like that I can leave it in the car, but still have room for groceries and other stuff. 
I plan on using the larger stroller for longer trips, when I feel like she needs to be more comfy.  I like to call this one "my umbrella stroller on crack"... hahahaha! 
 

Maddie & Mommy



Is she not the CUTEST!  Actually her bib says "cutest cowgirl"




Looking at the giraffes with Daddy



Elephants - Mommy's favorite!  Maddie isn't looking though...
