Madeline is gearing up for her first Christmas in St. Louis. She survived her second plane ride even after it took 12 hours of traveling with all of the holiday delays! Madeline and Hannah have been enjoying their time relaxing at Grandma and Papa's! Madeline even got to take her first bath in the big girl bath tub! We can not wait to see what Santa Claus is going to bring Madeline!! 
Madeline was enjoying herself and provided us with entertainment the other night when she could not stop laughing! What was so funny??
Madeline looked so cute in her dress after church that we could not resist taking a few pictures of her in our front yard! She was so happy and could not stop laughing!

On the coast in Cambria enjoying a great weekend with Madeline and family! Madeline enjoyed her first Halloween with her friend Charlis at our house. Madeline was a pumpkin and of course we had to knock on a few neighbors doors to show off how cute of a pumpkin she was. We enjoyed Halloween day at the park in our neighborhood with the VonGunten family. Madeline and Hannah enjoyed laying on the blanket and occasionally holding hands!
Madeline was very spoiled over the weekend. She had her uncles come out to visit her for the first time and her grandparents from both sides all under one roof! We were so blessed to share the weekend with everyone. Madeline was baptized with her cousin Hannah! Her Godparents Aunt Heather and Uncle Nate were able to help with all of the celebrations! We visited the pumpkin patch and got to wear the pumpkin outfit that her grammy sent her. Madeline enjoyed modeling her soccer outfit that her Uncle Luke brought back from his trip to Columbia in South America. We are getting excited for fall! Madeline with her Uncle Jake! She is laughing all of the time!
Madeline enjoyed visiting with my friends from Chicago Emily and Molly. She also enjoys her play dates with her friend Charlis! She continues to love her bath time and is getting more active with her legs kicking and arms moving when in the baby bath tub. We can not get over how much she looks just like her daddy! They are sure cute! Madeline took her first trip to Palm Springs!
Madeline went on her first plane ride to St. Louis. She slept the entire flight including the two hour delay on the runway! We enjoyed visiting with my friends Jenny and Sara and their babies. We spent time with Great Grandma Julie and her second cousins! She started to push up more when on her tummy and is starting to explore rolling! We met up with our friends Jana and Charlis at the airport in LA on our way home! Madeline had a great time on her first trip and we look forward to many more plane flights in the future!
So after over a year of looking we finally found a new place to call home! We had a long month of getting ready for the move. Trying to pack with a two month old has been a challenge, but we survived. We are very excited to have moved only a few blocks away from Madeline's cousins, Hannah and Caroline!

Madeline fell fast asleep at her one month pictures. Grandma Janet was out visiting as well as Aunt Katie. We had a busy trip visiting with her aunt Katie and grandma. Thankfully we had a lot of help starting to pack up our house for the big move!
