Dinnertime!

Maddie is getting pretty good at feeding herself and she's pretty much on her own for dinner nowadays. She loves tofu and meatballs, but doesn't seem to care for cheese as much as she used to.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Smoochles from your favorite fish face!

Climbing stairs...

I think it's so funny that she likes to climb stairs :) She has a method all worked out and I took this video when she got up from her nap so she's still a little groggy. Oops, the video is too big to upload to this site so here are some pictures or you can view the video by clicking here

Daddy is the tickle monster

Maddie and her daddy have a game they play which involves lots of giggles. Here are the series of events:

Maddie waiting for daddy to come out of hiding


She sees daddy peeking out from behind the door!


Here he comes!


Let's play again!

Funny face

I was going through a bunch of pictures and had to share this funny face that Maddie made. Maddie also cut her first tooth today! You can just feel the sharp bumps but I haven't been able to catch a good look of it yet :)

Look Mom! I can blow raspberries!

We got through the drooly phase and have now entered a new drooly phase :) Maddie now likes to blow raspberries and can beat out anyone in a spitting contest!

Alex's Birthday Party

We all had a great time at Maddie's friend Alex's first birthday party! Maddie particularly enjoyed the party cups and playing with all of the other children.

Happy 8 Month Birthday!

We hit another milestone and Maddie finally turned 8 months! She just learned how to pull herself up and maybe we'll be walking soon!

Reunion!

Maddie's great-grandma had been on vacation in Los Angeles for the past month and we were all very excited when she came home! Maddie especially so :)
