UGH!!!!!

I'm a really frustrated mom right now..... My daughter just won't sleep....!!! I know that she is teething. Her top 2 are coming in. But- What happened to my perfect little angel? She used to take two 2 hour naps a day. Now she doesn't want to go down at all. She slept for about 30 minutes in the car today and then I tried to transport her in her room and she just wouldn't have it. So she stayed in her bed (pissed) for about 45 minutes. So I got her out and she got into the toilet paper! OMG.... what am I going to do with her?
So I let her play a little more and gave her a snack (and some motrin) and now she is in her bed- but not sleeping. She is going back and forth from playing to screaming. I don't know how I could ever deal with two! (Sorry Meg!)
She is lucky she is so darn cute......but I don't care how cute she is... she is not getting rid of her naps... She is not even 10 months old yet! :)

Dress Up.....

Daddy went to over to a friends house to play tonight. So after Maddie's bath I decided to play dress up! She got the cutest birthday dress from her gramma... (my mom) and a new birthday hat - thanks to Aunt Sandy and new shoes from Mom! Much to her dismay I put all of it on her... The dress is a little big- But I can't wait for her to wear it on her first b-day. So these are the warm-up photos for her big day. You will see them all again on May 20th. I can't believe my little munchkin is going to be one in a little over 2 months. Everyone told me it goes by so fast and I didn't really get it till now... It has been the fastest 10 months ever... So much has happened and I have to admit I'm a little sad the first year is almost over.... and my little baby is getting so grown up.

Baby and Me!

Here is a picture of Maddie and I... I never have pictures of the 2 of us.. It's always me taking them of Joe and Maddie. So I asked him to take one... because I was actually dressed and just had my hair colored. (blonde..er) Anyhow, Miss Madelyn sue is quite the crack up. She has now learned how to clap. That is her new trick as of today. She is pretty proud of herself! It is so cute... cuz she isn't that coordinated so sometimes she misses them all together!
She has also learned how to dance. Well, Joe and I tought her too. When her little play table makes noise we would start dancing... so now she does. It's so flipping cute. She just moves her head from side to side. I guess that means we aren't very good dancers. :) She is just starting to move her body a little bit- but it's really funny. One of these days I will learn how to put video on here and I will post it.

Mazie's Puppy's turned 1

So today we went to the dog park to get Mazie and all 5 of her puppies that live in Oregon together. They were very excited to see each other. They didn't stop playing the entire time. We threw the ball for them, Daryl's wife brought treats and everyone had a great time.
We also tested out a new backpack for Maddie- that works perfect! :)

I can't believe mazie's puppies are one already! Maddie is next. I tried to get a picture with all of them together and the one I posted is the best one I got. They didn't all sit still- Go Figure!

Maddie is Hot Stuff

Holding on to the table with one hand. Unfortunately, she falls quite a bit and bangs her little head!~

Well, we finally made it home! We were only gone for a few days but man yesterday was tough! Our flight was delayed so we ended up spending over 10 hours traveling. I don't recommend drinking like a rock star the night before you have to travel home with your 9 month old. :)
We had a good time though... Joe and I worked the golf show and at night got to see some family.

A very eventful few days... The golf show, my aunt joslyn's 40th! (which was full of fun and excitement-) Then my sister called to tell us that her boyfriend Adam proposed! Yup- my sister is going to be getting married. It sounds like it's going to be in Vegas this year! We are all very excited for her and can't wait for the wedding in Vegas. Maybe Maddie can be the flower girl!
