Take me out to the ball game.....

Last week we were invited to go with Grandma Davis to Skyler's (Madi's cousin) baseball game. It was at a park that was really close to our house so we met Grandma at Subway for a bite to eat and headed over to the ball field. It was a really nice day so we sat on the outfield on a blanket. Madi had a lot of fun people watching. She has a tendancy to stare at people giving them minor complexes but that just one of the many reasons why we love her! She also enjoyed unloading all of the contents of her diaper bag.

Check out that little hottie layin on the ball field! Hubba Hubba!!!

I think Madi got a little bit bored though! She resorted to eating grass.... Maybe we need to feed her more.....

We did however get the shot of the night! Check out how cute this picture turned out! I can't get over what a cute kid we have! How in the world did that happen!?!?!?!?

P.s. Final score of the game..... I have no clue! Sorry Skyler! We did see you hit one almost clear out of the park buddy! Way to go!

My Darling Daughter.....

As if you can't tell, I LOVE my daughter! On occasion, in between temper tantrums and mood swings she does the CUTEST things! Ü I can't even begin to tell you everything she has done to brighten my days. This past Saturday she pulled about the cutest stunt I have ever seen! We were hanging out together, trying to be quiet and not wake Daddy up since he was working graveyards. I noticed Madi kept going by our pictures hanging next to our door. Everytime she would see them she would reach up and point to something and grin. I picked her up and she started rambling something, who knows what, but I kept hearing Da da in there. So I asked her "Where's Da-da?" and without skipping a beat she pointed right at her dad in the picture. I'm not afraid to admit it... I cried! It just never fails to amaze me to see everything click together for her. She is starting to really figure things out.

After we had enough of being quiet I thought it would be fun to get Madi in her new swimsuit and go play in her pool. Of Course we had to model the suit off first. Grandma & Grandpa were working on the deep freezer (apparently my dad had an archery mis-hap that involved the freezer). So our first stop was out to check their progress and do a little bit of modeling.

Ok, seriously.... how cute is that?????

I just couldn't stop there. We had to do a little bit of fun photos. My sassy little one pulled out her best vogue faces.... what do you think?

Our tired little stink bug...

Ok, so those of you that know me know what a sucker I am for Madi's cute little face! Even though she goes to bed just fine in her own bed I still can't stand to not have her at least fall asleep in bed with me and then have her dad put her in her crib after I have had my fill of her cuteness (I'm not bias or anything Ü). The other night I had given her a bottle and laid her in bed with me surrounded by pillows and she just couldn't get comfortable. I felt so bad. She kept moaning and rolling around trying to find a spot that she could relax in, when suddenly it happened! She found the spot! The little dork had rolled under a pillow and stuck her adorable diaper butt in the air just like a stink bug! It was so funny I had to sit and laugh at her. Luckily the camera was close by so we took a few pictures. How cute is this?

Summer Time....

So, as I'm sure everyone has noticed, it has been REALLY hot lately and we have been having a hard time keeping Madi cooled off while we are outside. SInce Madi loves playing in the water, we decided to get our little toad a pool to splash around in. Since she is growing so quickly, we just wanted to get her a cheap little tiny pool that she could just have fun in this summer. We ran down to Walmart and found the "hoppy pool". It was just too stinkin' cute! We brought it home, and wouldn't you know our luck, it started storming! So we waited and waited and waited. It started getting later in the day so we thought we would just set up the pool and have everything ready and let her play in it the next day. So we got it set up and thought it would be cute to put her in without any water just to watch her play and see if she even liked it. The toad pool was a hit! Although it was adorable to see her playing in the pretend water, we decided we just had to fill it up. It had warmed up quite a bit and we knew she would have a blast in there. Right when we set her in she imediately got a HUGE smile on her face. She was having so much fun when out of no where, Dad jumped around the side and scared her to death! She almost jumped completely out of the pool. It was hilarious! Madi thought it was pretty funny when dad was splashing water with her until it hit her in the face.... It wasn't so funny anymore.... She started getting bored so dad pulled out the big guns. The pool has a built in sprinkler! Daddy started it up and after showing Madi what it was, she decided the pool was fun again! The pool was obviously a HIT with Mads so I am sure we will be out side sittin' poolside helping her splash. So if any of you find yourself overheated, head on over to our place, Madi would love to share!

New clothes!

I couldn't help it! I have to post pictures of Mads in her new outfit! It is just too cute to resist! Don't mind the pill bottle in her hand..... It has a marble and a chain in it. Some times the best toys don't cost a thing! Ü Check out those pearly white new teeth!!! (look close, they are there)

Strike a pose!

The difference a couple of minutes makes

As with all children I suppose, their moods can change REALLY quickly! The other night it was getting close to Madi's bed time and that is when she is the most moody. She was in her jammies hanging out on Grandma & Grandpa's lovesac sayin buy to Kevin and Tenille when out of no where came on the emotional rollercoaster. It is amazing to think that these pictures were taken just moments apart.

Disclaimer: Please don't judge us on how our little rag-a-muffin looks in these pictures. I assure you she isn't some homeless child we picked up of the street. Sometimes it just isn't worth the fight to get her all spiffied up right before bed time!

Madi fought the chair.... and the chair won

As you know, my little Mads has started crawling. Now that she has started she doesn't stop.... and she has gotten fast! She boogies right across the floor in the flash of an eye! Anyway, my Mom had invited us to eat dinner with them so there we were, sitting around the table. Madi was on the floor playing around and crawling from one place to the next. She really wanted to go to my Mom so she crawled over to where she was. Apparently kneeling on the floor wasn't close enough for Madi so she got the great idea to climb up the bar stool to check things out. She got about half way when her weight pulled the bar stool righ on top of her. Luckily my parents have a thick rug under their dinner table that her head landed on but the chair had no where to go. It landed right on her head. I can honestly say I don't think I have ever moved so quickly in my entire life. I have never heard a scream so big and loud come out of something so small. Madi was inconsolable. I couldn't help it! I broke in to tears too. It was so hard seeing my little one in so much pain! I took her in to my parents bed room and rocked her a little bit. Once she mellowed out we assessed the damages.....The culprit

Check out the knot on her little noggin....
That's going to leave a mark......
What a little trooper!

Surprisingly it looks a lot better this morning. We have our fingers crossed that it doesn't bruise. We will definitly stay away from the bar stools until we get things mastered a little bit more. Not to mention the fake flowers that she ate yesterday, but that is whole different story all together!
