Cookie, Doggie, Hi, Bye, Ni Ni, Bob

My baby boy is talking and is getting a personality of his own. He is a complete stinker, but he has such a sweet heart. He can say cookie, doggie, hi, bye, ni ni (night night) and Bob. Of course he says mama and dada. Love that baby boy.

Oh and he is totally a mama's and a Nanny's boy.  But he sure does love his Papa and his Daddy too. :)

The 4th at Hotel Schultz

Here are a few pictures of our 4th of July weekend at Andrea and Marcus' house. The kids swam pretty much all of the time they were awake. It was a fun trip! Thanks Aunt Andrea and Uncle Marcus for letting us stay at your house.

Madden usually isn't a fan of the water, but in this pool, who can resist?

Take 2 - 1 year Photo Shoot

Well, sometimes the slideshow of Madden's 1-year photo shoot doesn't show up in the post below so I decided to take some of my favorites and put them in a separate post. This past weekend the kiddos and I went to Houston to hang out at my sister's awesome house and fabulous pool. While we were there she was so sweet to take Madden's first year pics. I can't believe that my baby will be 1 on Friday this week. This year has been amazing with this little bundle of joy in our family. I wouldn't change a thing about this year...Madden we love you and can't wait to see you grow and change even more.

Easter/Spring Pics and "The Low Down"

Lets just face it, I am a horrible blogger. I love to read other's blogs, but when it comes to updating my own, I just see it as another thing to do so it gets put low on the priority list. Any hoo...Madden is almost 9 months old now. He is crawling everywhere, has 3 teeth fully in and is working on 3 more, and he is eating 3rd foods and pretty much anything mushy off of our plates. I am so sad that he is getting so big.

Today we went to the neighborhood Easter egg hunt and played. Madden slept pretty much the whole time, but Kylie and her friend roamed around and got their hair colored and bounced in all of the bounce houses. It was fun!

I am finally getting around to updating Madden's baby book and it so fun to look back at all of his milestones. Now, I guess I should start planning his 1st birthday. Andrea- I am an accountant so I am going to need some help with this one. I want it to be just perfect for my lil miracle baby.

Kylie is getting ready to go to the 6th grade and is definately acting it :). She is really good with Madden and has had tons of friends over lately so she has been "busy".

Here is a sneak peak of the Easter pics we got taken yesterday. My camera is broken so I don't have any candid shots from random days. Paul is on the phone with Kodak as we speak trying to get it fixed.

So um yes, both of my kids are sporting "hawks" Kylie has a trendy faux hawk and Madden has his signature mohawk. His hair has always done this since he was little. It is laying down more now, but I miss the mohawk so I brought it back on this special picture taking occasion.

So, I will leave you with this funny picture....this is his personality to a T! He hammed it up for the cameras then shakes his head no when Paul or I ask him to look at us...go figure! TOOT!
