• I love dark chocolate.  Oh my gosh.  So good.  I got some Russell Stover chocolates and a big bag of dark chocolate M&M's for my birthday.  Yum!  The M&M's are almost gone!  Randy has helped me get rid of those though.  Nothin' like a good cup of decaf and a chocolate fix after my kids are in bed.   I've lost more weight.  Don't know what the deal is.  I mean, I'm not losing it quickly or anything, so I'm not worried.  I think I'm just so busy and active that I burn it off quickly!  It's definitely not my eating habits! 

  

  Short belated post on Maddie Grace.  She's so active now!  Man, I feel like all I do all day is pull her out of/off in away from things.  EVERYTHING goes in her mouth right now.  It doesn't matter if it's tiny or huge!  She now pulls the plug covers out of the wall and puts them in her mouth.  The whole thing.  Only the prongs are sticking out.  I've got to find some plug covers that are connected.

   

  She is waving bye-bye and says "ba-ba, ba-ba."  She's saying "mama," "dada" and other baby babble.

  

  Madelyn laughs and laughs at Parker all the time.  He keeps her entertained!

  She is standing up all the time now and cruises some as well.  One of her favorite places to be is under the kitchen table!  She loves to cruise from chair to chair and climb under the table and play. 

  

  The other day, I was driving and Parker said, "Momma, Maddie Gace..." and I looked back and she was clapping!  Just clapping away to the music on the radio!  She does it all the time now and if you say, "Yay, Maddie Grace!"  She'll say "ay, ay, ay!" and clap like crazy!

  

  She is completely on table food now.  Won't touch baby food anymore.  Not one bite.  I wasn't prepared for that.  Now I have to think about every meal for her because she still only has two teeth.  But she's doing really well.  Some things she's eating now:  spaghetti, green beans, peas (whole), pears, bananas, vienna sausages (cut up really small), bread, and she loves mashed potatoes!

  

  When she gets really tired she lays her head on my shoulder and will pat my back, so sweet.  And she likes being rocked now, which she didn't like before.  She still nurses a couple of times a day and twice at night.  I don't know what I'm going to do when it's time to wean her!  She like to nurse!

  What a sweet blessing she is.  She's growing way too fast for me.  I almost can't stand it.

  Everything else is good around here.  We finally bought a big plastic pool w/ a slide in it for the kids so we've been swimming some.  They love it.  It's too hot to do much of anything else!  I hate it, because Parker loves the playground, but it's so hot right now.  We've been going to storytime at the library every week, and next week I'm going to take Parker to the free movie at the theater (they do kids' movies every week for free!).  Life is good.  I love my life right now.  I have a wonderful, sweet husband who provides for me and make me feel beautiful and I have two precious, adorable kids who steal my heart every day.  What more could you ask for?  So when I'm not on here, I'm busy enjoying my life God has given me!  Miss you all!

  I thought this picture was funny!  Parker was putting his cereal on his toast and when I got the camera out he looked up and said, "Cheese!"

  

  A girl after my own heart....Madelyn found these in the pantry!
