Madigan checking out the bedroom. She tried to catch the cat but she got away.

Giggling at daddy being silly.

I *know* you always wondered who was on the other end when you called tech support. Now you know.

Catching up on Madigan ~ June 2007 Part 2

Madigan with Grandma Shirley at Great-Grandma Marion's house. Madigan and Kirsten sure racked up the airline miles this month with all their travels. Madigan did very well on all the flights, sleeping most of the time.

Madigan crawling around Grandma Shirley's house. So many new things to check out.

Madigan and Grandpa Brian. She had dinner at Black Angus and loved the potatoes and giggling at Brian and Teryl's friend Scott.

Madigan and Great-Grandma Marion. They had fun checking each other out and giggling. Sadly, Great-Grandma passed away the day after Thanksgiving 2007.

Showing off their grins. Madigan's red hair comes from her Great-Great-Grandma.

Catching up on Madigan ~ June 2007

Madigan went to Las Vegas!

Madigan crawling around after her bath. The marble tile was very interesting to explore and easy to crawl on. Madigan had fun pulling out the hair dryer and towels stored below the sink.

Madigan playing with her toys. She had a drawer in the dresser with her toys in it and she loved to pull them out and put them back in.

Madigan in the BIG bath tub. The tub was so big that Kirsten could stretch out and soak and only have her head above water. Madi loves bath time and splashes and giggles the whole time.

Madigan in the hotel room enjoying the A/C. We stayed at the Red Rocks Resort Casino outside of Las Vegas. It was a beautiful place.

Swimming with mommy. Madigan loved the water and got a nice tan. Mom got sunburned, not fun at all.

Catching up on Madigan ~ May 2007

Grandma Carol and Grandpa Richard in Everett, WA. They moved to Green Valley, AZ the day after this photo was taken.

The B&B on Whidbey Island that we stayed at.

Madigan and daddy on the ferry to Whidbey Island, braving the winds.

Before our travels to Seattle to see the grandparents off. Madigan had fun standing on the bed with daddy and playing with the dogs (9 months old).

April 2007

Madi tries to help Kirsten get done with her report and presentation about chimpanzees. She wonders why the report isn't about HER!

Mom was buried in school work so this month is light on the photos!

Finishing up March 2007

Madi thinks it is fun to chew on the showerhead. Problem is, there is water shooting out of it and she gags. But that doesn't stop her.



Cold blast of water, must be time to get out...



...and suck on our toes. YUMMY!



Luke kisses Madi. Luke was a foster dog Kirsten took care of. He is named for Luke from Star Wars because the force is with him - he was attacked by 3 dogs and had over 200 stitches put in to close the wounds. He now lives with his forever family in Portland and is a very happy dog. Did we mention he is good with kids?



Madi sitting in her crib one morning just being silly. Madi loves to greet the morning with her giggles and other silly sounds. She is 6 months old.

More March 2007

Mommy was picture happy this month *lol*



Madi feeding herself pancakes. She thought they were quite yummy.



Madi battled with the spoon and carrots and it looks like she lost the battle. Madi had her own personal food fight you could say.



Ah the fun of feeding yourself.



Madi loves water! She took a shower with Christopher and thoroughly enjoyed herself.



Madi went to the zoo today with Kirsten's moms group. She had fun seeing the new exhibits and all the animals. It was a cold day so she and Kirsten did not stay very long. They plan to go back soon!

Moving on through March 2007

Madi loves to be in the bath tub though the look on her face would lead you to think otherwise. She loves playing in the water and playing with her toys.



Today was Madi's first day in the "big tub." Christopher pulled her float through the water and she thought that was a lot of fun. She stayed in the tub a long time today.



Madi is learning how to feed herself. She likes to take the spoon and copy what Kirsten does with the other spoon. Madi loves playing with her spoons. Sometimes she gets them in her mouth the correct way and sometimes she gets them in her mouth whatever way she can. She wants to grow up so fast.



Madi is so proud of her accomplishments.

March 2007

Marching on through March!



Silly girl, laughing at daddy. Madi is such a happy baby, she wakes up cooing and giggling and ready to greet the day with a big grin.



Good Morning Madi! Welcome to a new day.



Madi enjoys breakfast in bed. What a luxurious life she lives.



Madi sat by herself today. She was very proud of her accomplishment. She is 5 months and 1 week old.

February 2007 Finished

Madi sits on the coach and is surprised by the dog telling her about his day.



You don't say...interesting...

Continuing through February 2007

Madi likes sitting on Grandpa Richard's shoulders. She had fun playing with his ears.



Grandpa Richard and Grandma Carol came from Seattle to visit and Madi enjoyed spending time with them.



Grandma Carol loves Madi so much!



Grandpa Richard and Madi had a very nice visit and hope to do it again soon.

February 2007

Madi knows to cheer for the University of Oregon DUCKS. An Oregon State Beaver walked by and she gave him this look.



Madi laughed when Christopher chased the Beaver away. She is 4 months old.



Madi enjoys sitting in her Bumbo seat in the TV room with Christopher. They like to watch WWE and can't wait for NASCAR to start.



Madi plays in her gym. Kirsten's friend Jennifer loaned this to Madi and she really enjoys it.
