Our big girl

How cute is she? Maddie Grace is growing too fast. We put her in the high chair this weekend, and we also tried out the exersaucer. As you can see, DJ was in on the fun. He has to check out all of the new toys. He will be 3 years old on Thursday, but I think he will always be a puppy at heart.

Talking

Maddie Grace has a lot to say after her bath.

Veggies!

Maddie Grace ate green beans for the first time tonight.

5 months old

Maddie Grace is 5 months old and ready for her first Super Bowl! Marty bought her her 1st football last weekend. She weighs 15 pounds and 10 ounces. I think the football is twice her size. He was impressed that she put her fingers on the laces immediately.

Look what our baby can do!

By the time I figured out how to use the video option on my camera, Maddie Grace was ready for a nap. She rarely fusses, so Marty and I thought this was funny.

One year ago...

One year ago today, I called Marty at work to tell him that I was pregnant. We could have never known how much we were going to love our little baby, especially with all of the morning (afternoon and evening) sickness that I had. We are so blessed to have a healthy, happy, beautiful baby girl! This past weekend, Maddie Grace found her voice. She loves to squeal with excitement. It is so cute! Marty and I tried to watch a movie Sunday night, and we could barely hear over her "talking".

Trip to Grandma and Grandpa's house

Maddie Grace met Grandpa Hiltz (Marty's step-father) for the 1st time today. He has been very sick and in the hospital off and on since she was born. He was very proud to see her!


This is one of the few pictures where I think Maddie Grace looks a little more like me than daddy.

Maddie Grace knows how to pout. It makes Marty and me crack up!

Congratulations!

Congrats to Dwight and Wendy. They just found out they are going to have a girl. Anya and Jennifer are also expecting girls. Heather is expecting boy number 3!

Maddie Grace plays the Piano!

Maddie loves the piano she got for Christmas!

Maddie is fast asleep, but still holding to her butterfly. She does not like to nap if other people are around. She doesn't want to miss anything.

Maddie Grace's 1st Meal

Maddie Grace is 4 months old, and the pediatrician said she can start eating rice cereal. There was more cereal on her than in her tummy!






She is still too small for the umbrella stroller, but I wanted to try it out.

She weighs 14 lbs and 8 ozs, and she is 25 inches long.

The best gift we got!

We are now giving Maddie Grace her bath in the big tub upstairs. She loves to splash, and we have been covering our bathroom with towels to help with the mess she makes. Now she can splash to her hearts content and we don't have to clean up afterwards.

Are we done yet?

Maddie's pig

When Daddy was out of town, he bought Maddie
a pig that squeals and vibrates. As you can see, she isn't exactly thrilled with it!




I'll just eat you!

Maddie holds her bottle!

She is growing so quickly! Every day she can do new things. Last night, she slept 9 1/2 hours before waking up to eat.
