My Little Bit of Sunshine

Time to pick pumpkins. Mads and some cousins went to pick out thier pumpkins for this fall season. We went out to a patch that was really cute. The kids had a fun time going through the maze, sliding, and picking out pumpkins. Here are some pics to remember fun times with cousins.

Baby Mads is growing too fast...6 months and she is crawling and now standing...on hardwood. So if she falls, which she does, she bonks, but it doesn't slow her down. She is growing too fast. It makes me happy and sad all at the same time. I just need time to slow down. Time to baby proof the house I guess!

Today was Madison's 6 month checkup. So not much fun for her today after 3 shots and some yummy medicine they shove down her throat! Anyhow...here are some of Madison's stats and things I need to write down so that I can remember Height: 26 1/2 inches (74%) Weight: 16 lb. 2 oz (52%) Favorite things: *She loves the computer, so I bought her one of her own so that my laptop could last a little longer; however, she still prefers mine. *She loves her baths and never stops kicking her legs, in or out of the bath (she is a splasher) *She loves being outside..too bad it is getting so cold! *She loves being around little kids...she always laughs at them. *She is loving all her new foods..except for bananas, those make her gag as soon as the spoon touches her tongue. *Speaking of tongue...hers is always out. Always pointed, she loves playing with her tongue. *She loves her soothie binkis *She has two different size eyes just like her mom *She does not enjoy being in the car or ...

The first week in September, Madison, my mother, aunt, and two cousins took a trip to Destin Florida where we met up with Jenny Judd(my best friend from college). What a fun girl's trip, Madison's first. She loved swimming, the pool much more than the ocean, but she was a trooper and excellent on the plane. She has traveling in her bones already! Thank Goodness. This is the view from the condo Mads enjoying the pool

I can't believe it! Madison had her four month pictures this Tuesday...my how time has flown. You really don't understand the meaning of that statement until you have a little one of your own. Madison was a little stinker for the session. She was tired becuase she had been up since 4 am and pictures were at 9. So it was just about the time she needed a nap. So needless to say, the majority of pictures taken, she has the scowl she inherited from her mother, but these sure turned out cute. The photographer caught a couple smiles!

Little Baby J is 1. My sister had his first year party at Grandma's house. The kids enjoyed the slide, a bbq, and of course, cake and cupcakes. It was a beautiful day with nice warm weather again and the kids had a blast. Baby J is such a big boy...taking his first couple of steps and eating cupcakes. What a cutie. Happy Birthday little big man.

Saturday was the big Miller Reunion up near Raft River. It is such a fun place. There are two huge slides you take tubes down, picnic tables, a zip line, a candy cannon, and lots of family. It was a great sunny Saturday. A little hot, Mads didn't enjoy the heat, but enjoyed seeing her aunts, uncles, and grandparents. Drew and Karen got in on the tubing action! How fun!
