Madison Leigh - 8 Months

I can't believe our baby girl is already 8 months old!

So what have you been up too?

You weigh about 21 lbs

You are 28 inches long

You are trying to walk everywhere...you even have your  shoes that squeak, so you can hear yourself walk

You have two top teeth and they make you look so grown up :(

You are in size 3 diapers still

Love your new cheetos or I like to call them corn curls

You have done photo shoots for Belk and JC Penny

Your eyes have stayed bright blue

You LOVE to play peak a boo





You clap when we say yay or sing "If your happy and you know it"

You have realized that when you look in the mirror you are looking at YOU! and you cheese big time!


You say know how to wave hello, and bye bye

You love the song "if your happy and you know it" and you have a bear that sings Jesus Loves Me and you are mesmerized by it

You still do not sleep through the night, but that is okay.


You sleep in your bed for the most part of the night and then daddy goes and gets you and brings you to sleep in our bed.

You are growing so fast, and I do not like it! Before to long you will be starting kindergarden, oh that reminds me, you will be starting a new school soon and mommy and daddy are so excited! IT might put us in debt but thats okay! Anything for our baby girl!

We love you MADDIE LEIGH with all our hearts!
Mommy, Daddy and Dolche

Valentine's Day and a Car

I can't believe it is February already and much less its already 2010. I would like to know what the girls think about Valentine's day? I haven't always been one that thought much about it, I thought it was neat to get flowers or have a good dinner but never thought of it as a "romantic day" maybe that is because I am not very romantic haha! but this year for some reason my perspective changed, and I think it is because we now have a little one crawling and trying to walk all over the house and Stu and I really do not get any time to ourselves, maybe now I realize why Valentines Day was created....to give parents one night to themselves :) I LOVE that idea. About 3 weeks ago I asked my mom (mimi) to babysit Maddie for the weekend so Stu could plan something awesome for us to do the entire weekend...of course she said YES! (Side note: I am so lucky to have a mom that will drop anything to watch Maddie) so then I had been asking Stu like every day, what are you planning, what are we going to do, huh? huh? do you want me to plan it? do you want me to plan the whole week? and he would just look at me and say "why are we getting all into Valentines Day" and up until today I really never had an answer, but oh I do now....its called being romantic for a weekend hahahaha! That sounds so funny to me, but yes, that is what it is about. Maybe it shold be called Love Day....show your signigicant other how much you LOVE them......ok ok ok....maybe I am getting carried away. So really why I wrote this was to say, I think my valentines weekend will consist of this, and I will tell you why at the end....

Friday...mimi arrives, we go to Dinner with Maddie and Mimi
Saturday...Taylor(2 year old cousin) birthday party
Saturday night..HOPEFULLY dinner either just Stu and I or with friends
Sunday...well hopefully a card

HAHAHAH! that sounds so pathetic, but the reason why is because, my husband just bought me a new BMW 5 series.....I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its not only my Valentines present, but my birthday, Christmas etc for the next like 5 years! I was driving a Tahoe, and I loved the idea of having a bigger car because the Lexus I250 I had when we had Maddie was to small, I couldn't get her carseat in the back....so Tahoe sounded great, well yeah had it for 2 minutes and hated it! So he let me get a new car! THANKS to the BEST husband ever!!!!

Okay so here are some photos of Miss Maddie to end my post with....she is getting way to big!
