A weekend with the Beckers

This last weekend we had the opportunity to go to Joplin to visit our friends Cassie and Paul Becker and they have a little boy Jeffery who is 3 days younger then Madi. We have so much fun when we visit them the boys watched football and us girls just hung out and talked and cooked. We had lots of good food burgers, hotdogs, chili, and a big breakfast of eggs hashbrowns sausage and bacon. While we were there Madis first two teeth broke threw the front bottom two yay its about time she get some teeth Jeffery already is on 5 and 6. Well here are some fun pics from the weekend of the kiddos.

Jeffery did not want Madi to leave he was just hanging on to the car seat and touching her it was so cute.

Madi and Jeffery getting into trouble pulling all the stuff off of the bookshelf and Madi almost pulled it down on herself.

I just love this picture it was so cute they kept leaning back and staring at each other and grabbing each others hands and talking to each other I wish I could have got it on video.

Bath time we just can't resist every time we go there we have to bathe the kiddos together. They are so going to hate us when they are older

This was when we were getting them ready for their bath and they were playing around together in Jefferys crib

Aren't the so cute

Madi is laughing at something

My 9 month old little terror

Well time has flown by just like I was told it was going to. My little Madi is so smart and growing up so fast and I don't like it. Well this is what her stats were at her 9 month checkup
weight: 21 lbs 4 ounces
length: 28 inches
head circumference: 18 inches

She is my little chunker. She has got an attitude like you wouldn't believe. She throws fits already I am so going to have my hands full she will throw her head forward and then back and then kick her legs all while screaming. I asked my Mom was I like this when I was her age and she said definately so I guess I am just getting my payback now. She is a standing machine she does it like a pro she doesn't have to hold onto anything and and wants to stand all day long. She cruises all along anything that she can use to get her to where she wants to go. She is now a really fast crawler and is getting into everything in other words I have been chasing after her all the time and trying to child proof like crazy. Well here is some pictures of my onry little child.

This is her cruising with Jefferys walker showing him how it works

Once again up to no good getting into something

Look at that face she is up to no good

These are her Dora pjs her Grandma Crosby got her.

Madi's First Christmas

Christmas just always seems to be a little bit more special when we have a little one to spend it with. Madi wasn't really to interested in opening her presents but she loved ripping the bows off of all the presents. She got tons of great gifts. She got several outfits pjs and new socks, blocks, a laughing peguin, a train that moves and spins balls, a learn and groove musical table, a book, and sesame street lets make music DVD. Joe and I we blessed as well with many wonderful gifts from our friends and family. Joe got a Seattle Seahawks jersey hat tie and belt buckle, the games Left for Dead 2 and Assasins Creed 2, a gamer chair, and a Football. I got a Salon cart, a medium size pot, Mini Crock pot, gift cards to Nakatos (Joe and I both got one of these!) and Cold Stone, and an awesome digital camera. Also we got a rocker recliner but we have had that for several months Joes parents gave it to us as and early Christmas gift shortly after Madi was born.

The Year 2009 flew by I guess time goes by faster when you have a child. My greatest blessing of the year was bringing to this world my precious baby Madison. We are trully blessed with great family and friends that love and support us. We had such a great year and we hope that you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
