Some cute stuff

I took some pictures at home for Madilyn's 5 month "photo shoot". I started doing the photoshop thing and re-touching and it took me WAY longer than I thought! Man, I don't remember everything from college in my graphics arts class... I have to re-acquaint myself! SO, here's the 3 pictures that I did finish, and then there's a video of Madilyn showing her MAD talents!! :)

I got her to look up at the light, doesn't she look precious?

In her Gamecocks "cheerleader" outfit that Grandma got her.


My sweet girl, isn't she sweet? She was giggling at me here...



Here she is showing how good she's getting at rolling over! She kept doing it over and over last night, it was so cute! It was like she realized she could do it on her own and just wanted to keep showing us!!! She's so funny!

5 Months!!!!

So yesterday, my little peanut Madilyn turned 5 months old, I can't believe it?! How does time fly by so fast??? I am planning on taking her "5 month" pictures tonight, so I will make sure to post those later.
She is developing so quickly to me, but she's just amazing in all ways to me! :)
She has been getting so good at rolling from her back to her tummy, especially when she has a toy to reach for. She has been trying many different foods too! She has had so far: apples, pears, prunes and squash. She did so well with her first veggie, but I am nervous to start with the green vegetables, I don't want it to come back up. We'll have to see how it goes. I might try sweet peas next week. She is really getting better at working on her abs too. She tries to sit up if I have her leaning back, which I am so glad about. Before about 2 weeks ago she never really tried to sit up and I was thinking.. "I have a lazy baby!"!! HA! Not really, but I was glad to see her try to sit up, and she's starting to get her balance with sitting up too, not too long and she may be doing it on her own!!! She's not such a fan of the idea of crawling. I put her on her tummy and she pushes herself up with her arms, but as far as bringing her legs up under her, no... she doesn't like that. She wants them straight out behind her. I am sure it's too early for her to be really thinking about crawling anyways, I just think it's cute she wants to keep her legs behind her. :) Really, everything she does is cute, ya know?
Well, I will try to post her pictures later, I just had to get her 5 month posting up, I can't believe she's growing so fast right in front of my eyes!!!
We are going to try to make the Greek Festival downtown this weekend, might be fun!!! I'll hopefully get some pictures there if it doesn't rain the whole time...

Moe's

I have to say that John's favorite food is anything Mexican... he LOVES it!! The only Mexican food that I really like in SC is probably Moe's or Qdoba, more a "fresh-mex" I guess you could say. So, anyways, we were at Moe's the other day and have discovered that Madi may be following in her daddy's footsteps!!! :) Here's some pictures!


Here is Madilyn trying so hard to get that burrito to her mouth... I think she thinks it looks quite tasty!!! :)

Here is the damage of her trying to get it into her mouth... poor John, he had to try to cover that with tinfoil to eat it...

A closer picture of the damage.

It's like she's looking at his mouth and saying... is that where that burrito went?? And now, "Daddy, are you listening to me? I wanted that burrito!!"

So, we had some fun at Moe's, we do love that place!!!! And, it seems, Madilyn does too! HA!

My cute little girl!

So, we have had a lot of fun the past few weeks! We tried out that new Drew Park splash pad that's downtown off of Harden, and it was pretty fun! I am glad it was free because honestly, Madilyn was only slightly amused... :) We dipped her toes in it, and her hands, and then she was done. Her cousin Preston had a blast though, as most little boys, he LOVES water!!
Madilyn is getting so much better at rolling from her tummy to her back! When I help her roll to her tummy from her back she wants to see me, and rolls right back over to her back again! She does that to my mom while she's watching her during the day quite often! Madilyn has also been trying lots of fun new foods! She has cereal 2x a day, and we mix in some fruits or veggies. She has tried apples (LOVES them!!), squash and now pears. I am not sure if apples or pears are her favorite, but she actually liked the squash, she kept opening her mouth for more!!! SO cute!
She's giggling at the funniest things lately. If she's in a funny mood, she'll just giggle at anything, I love it!
She's also really getting to know her routine. For some reason, the thing that I love is when I lay her down for a nap, or for the night, she looks for her music in her crib to turn on, then she curls up on her side clutching her blanket and sucking on her fingers and goes to sleep... how sweet!!!
The main reason I had to write today is because I got a really cute video of Madilyn that I had to share... enjoy!!!
