Madison is growing soooo fast! She is almost eight months old and she is becoming a little girl…she is not my baby anymore. She is so independent already!! Well, like I said my last post…I think she will be crawling by Christmas—she is ALL OVER the place now!! She has been crawling for a couple weeks and it is crazy! You put her down and within a couple seconds she is clear across the room! She has no fear at all! ---some of her favorite places to crawl to are….the dog toy box, the phone cords, my purse and her newest one, Bob’s water dish…nothing like splashing in slobbery water!
Seven Months Old!

She also now has 2 teeth! Both are on the bottom and are just barely through. Teething has not been too big of an issue for her---she did get a little bit of bad diaper rash for a couple days, then it pretty much cleared up! We are pretty lucky to have such a great baby! It is very rare when she is crabby and we are OK with that. Having a happy baby is the best!!

Santa=not so much
MOM!! HELP!! this guy is scary!
Madison loves food- there is no doubt there! She loves her oatmeal/cereal and pretty much every kind of food there is—applesauce, pears, peas, beans, squash, sweet potatoes, and now more recently she is eating the “puffs” and squashed bananas! She gets annoyed with us when we are feeding her and we look away for a second—she screeches until we put more into her mouth!!
Hailey is a great helper!!

I will post more pictures next week after the Christmas chaos! We are going to Pat’s parents’ house for Christmas Eve and my parents’ house for Christmas Day! It will be an awesome couple of days! Madison will love all the paper and boxes and food too!! We will see if she even cares about “Santa” or the presents! Haha. Probably not.
One more big thing in our life…WE MOVED!!! We now live on the south side of town—it is a ranch style house, 3 bedrooms, 2 ½ baths, 1st floor laundry (with my new FRONT LOADERS!), a big family room and a full basement. Plus the backyard is much bigger for Bob! It has been crazy- we moved the day after Thanksgiving and it was complete chaos…since I HAD to go shopping on Black Friday!! But we love our new house! It is so nice to be a couple blocks from my parents and a couple blocks from daycare, very convenient!!

Last weekend, Eau Claire got a record breaking amount of snow--- 22 inches!! WOWZA! We sure will have a white Christmas this year! Pat got to use his snow blower and spend hours (literally) cleaning the driveway up! (and the neighbors too) Bob was not so sure about the 1st snowfall; Pat had to shovel a special “spot” for him so he could go to the bathroom! After he went to the bathroom, him and Pat were dancing around in all 2 feet of snow!
Let it snow!!
HOLY SNOW!
The boys playing in the snow!
