Growing girl!

I haven't updated the site in a while because things have been crazy around the house the past few weeks. We had to nurse Madison through croup, bronchitis and an ear infection, which was not fun in the least. Let's just say that Prednisone was not Madison's friend. She was evil while she was on that medicine. Thank goodness that's over with and she's been feeling much better. She's been having fun back at daycare and loving spending the days with her new friends there. She's adapting very well to daycare life. However, I think mommy still has some trouble adapting :)
She seems to not want to crawl since she can go anywhere and get anything she wants by the rolling method. She just rolls and rolls and rolls until she gets where she wants to go. Hopefully she'll get those little legs and arms working together and we'll get a crawl sometime soon.
On the tooth front...we still have none. She's still drooling like crazy and has a bib permanently attached to her. She bites on everything which makes me believe they're down there somewhere, but who knows when they'll make their big appearance.
Here are a few pictures from the past week.

Cole Camp Fair fun

This past weekend was Madison's first experience with the famous Cole Camp Fair! Even though she was sick with the croup, she did seem to have a little fun. She rode on the pink elephants with both Garret and Grandma Schnackenberg. She didn't really know what to think at first, but she loved to look at the lights and didn't seem to mind the ride too much! I'm sure she'll have more fun next year when she can eat a famous Cole Camp Fair corndog!

Yes, there's that Pujols shirt again!

Maddie and her friend Bailey

Madison loves to get down on the floor and "play" with Bailey. She especially loves to tug on her hair and tail. Bailey, as you can see, just lays there and takes the abuse :) This past weekend while we were in Cole Camp for the fair Madison got a hold of Bailey's leash and she was loving every minute of yanking Bailey around. We were proud of Bailey...she just sat there. The poor dog gets drug around by Maddie's cousin Emma when she visits, and now Maddie is learning to go after her as well. Poor Bailey!!
And yes, that is a Pujols shirt Madison is wearing....thank you Uncle Brad, Aunt Laura and Cousin Emma!

All Clean!

Madison still loves bathtime!! She loves to sit in her tub and play with her bathtoys and kick her legs and splash the water everywhere. I'm waiting for the day when she cries when bathtime is over! Here she is all clean after her bath. As you notice the bright red drool rash under her chin. We just can never seem to get rid of that since her mouth is a little faucet that drips drool constantly!!

7 Months Old

Madison is 7 months old today! It just doesn't seem possible that she is this big already. She is sitting up all by herself now with no problems at all. She does have the occasional lack of balance and topples over, but it doesn't seem to bother her any. She is trying very hard to crawl however we're just not there yet. She is having fun at daycare and the workers there say she is adjusting very well. She is super nosey and loves to interact and watch the other kids and so yesterday she only had a 20 minute nap all day. Fun huh?
Happy 7 month Madison!!!
