Sunday Maddie said Mama for the first time! Sadly I think it was cause her eat was hurting because she has a ear infection and bronchitis. I do hate it! Although, I have enjoyed rocking her to sleep and holding her:)
Here's my little Christmas Monkey when we were heading shopping on Tuesday
Here my sweet baby not feeling good:(
While William worked on Thursday evening I stayed up until 1:30 am putting up our Christmas decorations.
I really had no plans in putting the tree up, but I'm glad I was guided in the right direction by my sweet hubby!
I've scaled way back on decorations this year. I gave half of my decor away. I want to make sure I teach Maddie what Christmas is really about, and a ridiculous amount of decorations is not it!
For now we have our main tree, Maddie's tree, a Nativity scene, wreath on the front door and the stockings on the mantle.
Maybe next year I will put up my outside lights. I just hate to freeze my booty off for only 3 weeks worth light viewing.
Here's our decorations...

These pictures were taken with my iPhone 4s, as most of them are these days.
Happy Thanksgiving!
We weren't able to be with our family this year due to my husband having to be on call for work but we still had a wonderful day! We had lunch with some very good friends!
Maddie enjoyed her Turkey baby food!:)
The 3 of us watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Here's a peek at Maddie's Thanksgiving dinner...doesn't it look yummy?!?!
Here's my little turkey all ready to head to our friends house!
Isn't she a beauty?!?!(not that I am partial or anything!)
Here she is playing in the floor, having a good ole time, after dinner.
Guess she wanted to call somebody!
Maddie even had her own place, with her name
Happy 1st Thanksgiving Maddie!
Mommy & Daddy have lots to be Thankful for!
Maddie has been working on getting on her knees for a few days and today she finally got on both knees and rocked back and forth!
Won't be long and she will be crawling. I'm sure she will have no trouble once the Christmas tree goes up!
Maddie and I have been sick for what seems like forever. I think we're to the point were not getting worse but were not getting better either...
Here is a little of what we have done this week.
Sunday we were at church all day for blessing baskets and this was William rocking Maddie while we worked in the nursery.
This silly little girl loves this duck!
Monday Maddie had a fever and this is how she looked at me all day...no smiles:(
Rocking Maddie so she could sleep on Monday...
Nothing sweeter!
Then Tuesday morning she gave me this sweet smile!
She had fun playing in this basket while I cooked dinner on Tuesday!
You are 7 months old today.
I think you weigh about 19 pounds.
You are wearing size 3 diaper.
You are wearing 3-6 & 6-9 month clothes.
You are wearing size 1 shoes.
You roll everywhere! You push yourself backwards as well.
You have started trying to pull up on everything.
When I put you in your high chair if you see your food you scream until I feed you so I have to have it ready before hand.
You still don't have any teeth, but I think it will be soon.
You are a very happy baby, as long as mommy doesn't leave the room.
You like to watch Baby Einstein and you bounce yourself when you hear a song you like.
Maddie may skip crawling all together. Today she decided she wanted to pull up on one of her toys!
I am excited, but not ready for this!
I suppose her gums are hurting her today because she did alot of this...
And she has started rocking herself up and down like she is dancing when she hears music she likes in Baby Einstein
Yesterday Maddie and I walked to Harps. It was a little windy so she bundled up. Isn't she so cute?!?!
Maddie's first Halloween was a success!
Trick or treating at Daddy's work for the fall festival, Costume Parade at KDO and then watching all the trick or treaters come to our door:)
Here's my little lady bug!
Here's what she really thought about it...ha!
After she was done being a lady bug I put the tutu on her that I made before she was born. She loved it and thought she needed to eat it!
Monday at KDO the teachers were dressing up as nerds, here was my day nerd
And here was my need I turned into for the trick or treatees
