11 Months and a Few Happenings

  I can't believe Madilyn is already 11 months! She is growing so fast. Our little girl now crawls full speed and even got brave and attempted to climb the stairs, which is now her favorite thing to do. She thinks it is hilarious to play peek-a-boo and will dive onto the floor giggling every time. She has started pulling herself to her feet, but is still working on the whole balance thing. Poor girl keeps falling down and getting little bruises on her head. Madilyn has learned to fold her arms when we tell her we are going to say prayer. She just keeps surprising us with how much she learns and figures out each day!

A few weeks ago we went to "Farm Country" up at Thanksgiving point. It was a lot of fun (other than the farm smell!) Madilyn really liked looking at all the animals, but was not about to touch any!

She loved the horse pulled wagon ride!

This baby goat was so cute, but, as you can see, she was freaked out!

I laughed a little too much at this sign!

We Celebrated Madilyn's first Fourth of July. She thought the fireworks were really cool and could not look away, but at the same time she was so scared and clinging to my shirt. We did not even have to leave our house to see the fireworks. Our neighbors (pretty much the whole neighborhood) put on quite the show! Every direction we looked were colors exploding into the air. Very different from Colorado.

July 7th was Lucas's Birthday! We celebrated by going to Cafe Rio for lunch, then to the Bean Life Science Museum. We had a lot of fun looking at all the exhibits. We went to dinner at Tucanos Brazilian Grill and came home for cake.
