Buzzing

This is one of Madelyn's new hobbies. She'll do it anywhere and we can't help but laugh when she's content to do it for several minutes. In fact, I went to Ulta with her and she was doing this in her stroller all around the store. I think people kind of wondered what the heck she was doing.
Ahh...the simple things in life...

8 months and still growing

Not crawling yet, but trying oh so hard!

It's official - she's our sweetie.

Trip to the Zoo

Auntie Em & Uncle Outlaw came to visit this weekend. We decided to brave the Spring Break crowds on Saturday and take Madelyn on her first trip to the Ft. Worth Zoo. We got there as soon as the zoo opened and it really wasn't too bad. We didn't have to park miles away and we started at the back of the zoo first and worked our way forward. This way she could experience all of the "close-up" exhibits without too many kids around. Things did get crowded after lunch and we were glad to have arrived as soon as the park opened that morning. The weather was great and we all had a great time!



Checking out some lizards.






Madelyn and I had the whole carousel to ourselves. She loved riding and watching the other horses go up and down around her.




Checking out the Gorillas.



With Uncle Joe and Aunt Emily by the giraffes. Can you believe the zoo has 7 giraffes?!



We had a great time and Madelyn loved getting to see her Aunt and Uncle!

St. Patrick's Day Fun

So, Madelyn got a new shirt yesterday in the mail from Grandma Dolly and we had to wear it today. The not so good news - Madelyn participated in snack time for the first time today at daycare. Evidence: All over her shirt collar!




I know I've posted that she has her first tooth. We finally got a fairly good shot of the new tooth. It only took Jonathan holding her mouth open and me taking the picture. It felt more like a dental exam than a photo shoot.



Madelyn and Gracie have a very special bond. I swear Gracie was never this affectionate with even me! She will intentionally lay next to Madelyn just so she gets rubbed and cuddled. Here's how it played out this evening.
