finally a full nights sleep!

so maddie being just six days shy of being 11 months old has now decided that she can sleep through the night and oh boy was it amazing. hopefully she will keep up this new talent... i know she is pretty old to still be waking up at night but we really did try a lot of things that didn't work to well. plus i couldn't help but feed her still because she is so little. she has finally hit 15 lbs. so i think we are good to go now! yeah maddie!!

yummy yummy

the other day i went to feed maddie her cereal and veggies... well i set the bowl of cereal down a little to close to her. and lets just say she had a blast exploring through the mush and she even ate a little along the way. then she decided she didn't want to leave any in the bowl so she tried to lick it clean.. messy messy!!

Vaction Yeah!!

We went to Washington to visit my grandparents and family. it was a long drive but we survived. maddie got to experience a lot of "firsts" on this trip.

- first trip to the ocean

- first time on a merry-go-round

- first sucker

- first pony ride
- first time in a swimming pool

it was so much fun. we went to seaside and cannon beach which are ryan and i's most favorite places in the world. we got to ride on the merry-go-round which i was looking forward to forever. maddie didn't know waht to think but by the end she was getting use to it. we then went to tillamook to visit some cousins. while there we were able to go to the tillamook cheese factory. it was so cool to see. we also ate some yummy food and had icecream. we then went back to my grandparents where we stayed the remainder of the trip. my other cousin was nice to saddle up her little old pony for maddie to ride. she had so much fun. but it turned out to be a way fun trip and maddie did really well for her first long adventure away from home. here are some pics sorry theres a lot. i'm having trouble posting pics so i will get to those later!
