St. Louis Fun!

We went to St. Louis for a visit over Labor Day weekend. Madeline really enjoyed the plane ride looking out the window and talking to everyone who walked past or who sat close. She even took a nap for mommy which was really nice! We were able to visit with mommies cousins aunts and uncles, high school friends, college friends and Madeline's great grandma Julie! Madeline decided to take off with her walking while we were in St. Louis showing off for all! She has added even more to her vocabulary "grandma, pizza, cheese, Katie, walk, run, mama mia and of course weee" Madeline is undecided about Ice Cream! She will take one lick and then turns her head--we are not sure where she gets that from! Madline has become such a big girl now that she is even wearing pony tails! My Aunt Donna made Madeline a few very cute hats while we were home! Madeline was so cute she went and got it and put it on her head wearing it the rest of the night! Where did our baby go?

Summer Fun!

Madeline enjoyed the second part of the summer at the park, eating watermellon, the cob of the corn and visiting with her Papa who came out to help my sister with her three. Madeline continues to make strides toward her walking! She has more words that she has added to her vocabulary and more hand movements to the songs she loves. She can say "itsy bitsy" while moving her hands around to the words of the song. The wheels on the bus she is able to do the hand motions for the wheels, horn and the wippers. She likes to yell out "beep, beep" when it comes time for the horn. What will be next? Walking by herself??
