A Taste of Spring!!!

What a beautiful week last week!!! It was so refreshing to have the warm weather so that we could be outside enjoying it!!! I remember last spring and summer. . . . . .Maddie and I were outside as much as we possibly could be! I am so excited to be outside with her again this year! We got tons of walks in and took in the warmth and sunshine! Now that she is facing forward and looking at everything she was pointing at all of the dogs, birds, kids, etc etc etc - so that was fun!

It was Pat's first week at his new job which was an adjustment for everyone! We survived - as we knew we would!! This week is another adjustment for us - his first trip! So, Maddie and I are flying solo this week and have a lot of fun stuff packed into this week!

For awhile now she has been mostly eating table food instead of baby food. Well, she tried a few new things over the weekend. We went out for fish on Friday night and she got her first sampling of fish. . . . .AND LOVED IT!! Pat gave her some and she bit his finger - so funny! She also had some baked potato. . . .and a choc shake! Wow, I have never seen her hold onto a straw for dear life! It was cute!

We do have a few new tricks. . . . .
#1) If you even mention the word DOG. . . .she will start panting like one
#2) She likes to crawl into her wagon and wait for someone to pull her around
#3) Now that she knows where the garbage is in the kitchen, she likes to throw things away when we are not looking . . . .couch covers, magnets, toys, pretty much anything she can get her hands on!
Here is Miss Sassy-Pants herself. . . so glad Pat taught her that one!


Busted for snatching a magnet off the fridge!

Rough housing with Pat - we have a tom boy on our hands!

Learning about life jackets in swim class!

Look mom, I got in all by myself! Gotta love the head tilt. . .

Im sure I will have plenty of great adventures to report this week as dad is in MN for work!
