Trick-or-Treat

Happy Halloween!

Madison went trick-or-treating tonight for the first time. We went to a friend's house and Madison got three pieces of candy. Madison was Franklin the Turtle for Halloween...it is a little hard to tell from the photo.

Getting ready for Halloween

We went to get our pumpkin and while we were out we had snow flurries. It was very cold and Madison was a good sport. Her eyes and poor face got so red because the wind was really strong. We made it a very quick trip!

Finally at home and warm Madison help to carve her first pumpkin. Now she is ready to get dressed up and go trick or treating. :)

Happy 6 Month Birthday!!!

Look how much I have grown!

It is hard to believe that half a year has already gone by - it happened so fast. Madison is a growing girl and full of personality. Happy Birthday!!!

6 month doctor visit

Today was Madison's 6 month doctor visit. She did really well and as you can see she had to get 4 shots today. Madison was a big girl and handled it all really well. The doctor was very impressed with how well Madison was sitting (the doctor kind of nudged her and she kept her balance). Madison is now 17 pounds and 7 ounces and is 27 inches long. She is a growing girl and right on target based on her birth weight and length!

Madison's first trip to the country and zoo.

On Friday Danny had a work party out in Cambridge, WI at a co-worker’s house. It was a lot of fun taking Madison out to see the corn field. Madison had fun meeting a lot of new people but the most fun she had was seeing the big dog run around.

On Sunday we went to the local zoo. This was Madison’s first time seeing other animals besides cats and dogs. I think she really liked the giraffes. She got very excited watching them and had a huge smile on her face. She also liked goofing off and posing as a polar bear. ;)

Madison being silly :)

Is Madison like her Daddy?

Today was Madison’s second day trying carrots. While I was feeding her she would lick and suck her bib between bites. So I figure....

1. She is like her Daddy by being neat and making sure her bib stays clean.

or

2. She is like her Daddy and REALLY loves carrots.

Based on the picture...I think she really likes carrots. So I guess Madison is like her Daddy! ;)
