This batch of pictures is of miscellaneous adventures in San Diego, while we were supposed to be packing.
This is Madi’s “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”.I personally am reminded of Yoda, but they both work.
This is Madi’s “Ace Ventura” look.It was the first time I was able to get her hair in pig tails, but she ripped them out before I got a picture.So you just get to see the aftermath.
Madi's Beautiful curls!!! I must admit sometimes it gets frustrating because I don't know how to work with them, but they are so pretty! I found a detangler/conditioner that really helps to keep the matting at a minimum.
Like Father like daughter?Playing with daddy really is So much fun, and pipe cleaners present endless possibilities!
The day before we moved, we are finally packing! Madi decided she made the best carry-on item. :) I have to agree with her, but I don't think she'll like being stuck in a suitcase.
If she's going to be the carry-on, she made sure she had a book and a ball to keep her busy.
Most of you know, Madi has a heavy addiction to food. These are just a few of my favorite photos of her and that topic.
This is Madi first starting to successfully feed herself! She's been trying for a while, but she's finally getting more in her mouth than on her bib!
Still has a little trouble deciding which hand to use.
Madi's first attempt at ravioli! She thought my reaction to her fingers in her nose was so funny, that's all she would do for the camera. Future Blackmail?
Madi telling me she's all done, while getting sauce in her hair.
But wait, she found a few more pieces worth eating! :)
I know I should be cutting my losses on everything I’ve missed, but I just can’t let it all go. So please bear with me while I hurriedly play catch up over the past few months.
These are the last of our photos from our Oregon trip in April/May of this year. (I know I’m REALLY behind!)I won’t post much about each picture, just know that we had a GREAT time and hardly have any pictures for all the fun that we had!
Madi taking a break from playing "jail bird" on the gate to the stairs.
She Loved playing under the table, chasing the dogs, and even making her own jungle gym with the dining room chairs. Oh and just a fun fact.. When we first got to Becca's house Madi could run under the table without touching it, by the time we left she was hitting her head on the table. We were there for quite a while! :)
Madi loved playing with all 6 of Becca's dogs, but the smaller ones were easier to play with. The big ones were at the right height to give her kisses on the face, but she didn't like that too much. :)
Madi also loved playing with Baloo, Becca's parrot. While he isn't always predictable (therefore she couldn't really "play" with him) he was always kind when she'd scoot around his cage to look out the window.
Auntie Becca's house has lots of toys to play with, but sometimes it's the simple things that can be the most fun. She tried so hard to climb up and stay balance on this box. She was proud of herself when she finally did it!
Madi's addiction to food shines through when we catch her climbing into the fridge. Anytime someone would even get too close to it, she'd run over - ready to get in and find something yummy! I think here, she was going for the strawberries. :)
