Madison's 1st Swim

Saturday was a big day for Madison. She had her 1st haircut and her 1st swim! Maybe that's why I'm typing this blog and she's working on her 13th hour of sleep. I wore her out!! Her first swim was lots of fun. Like most things, Madison was a little tense at first. She takes a while to warm up to new things (people, food, toys and her surroundings). I guess I don't have to worry about her being a daredevil one day! HA! She spent most of her time starring at all the people and trying to figure out what was going on. She even decided to put her head face down in the water to see what would happen. I bet you can guess the outcome! NOT HAPPY! :) Eventually, she relaxed and let me put her on her back to float and drag her around by her arms. I really think like most things, she'll LOVE it after a few tries.

Sporting her new haircut at the pool! :) These little girls were so sweet with Madison. They were trying so hard to be her friend.

My how things have changed

I was taking pictures yesterday of Madison and when I went to view them I noticed how much my living room has changed in the past 5 months !! Do you see ALL the baby gear and toys in the background. Yes, this little girl has taken over my world and I wouldn't change or trade it for anything. Her smiles melt my heart and she fills my days with so much joy!

First Haircut at 5 1/2 months

It was really hard to cut Madison's baby hair but it had to be done. She has had this serious mullet since she was born. Every month it has gotten longer and thicker. It really looked ratty. Now she looks a little like a boy! HA! I'm hoping this will help it grow faster altogether. Yes, she might be the youngest baby to receive her first haircut!! Check out these BEFORE pictures!! Rough, I know! Doesn't she look precious in her apron!?!

Precious moments

One of those precious moments in life

RICE!

So, it's a big joke with my family about Madison and her rice! She absolutely LOVES it!! She kicks, screams, waves her hands, and smiles from ear to ear when it's time to eat. My dad even spent 70 bucks to ship me rice to Canada because I forgot it at home and couldn't find the brand she loves anywhere. We didn't want her to go without for 2 weeks. Does that make her spoiled? :) Well, while we were out shopping we passed this HUGE bag of rice and thought I bet Madison would love this!! Check out the SMILE on her face! All you have to say is, "Madison, do you want some rice?" and she will give you the most excited look ever. What an easy baby to please!

Napping

Napping in her Nana's arms!

Calgary Zoo

Sunday we decided we'd take Madison to the Calgary Zoo. She may still be a little young, but I think she had a good time. There was so much for her to see and take in at once. When it came time for her bath, she feel asleep in the tub. It was too funny. I couldn't believe it! She had such a long day that she was in bed at 7:45 and slept till 8:15!! Maybe I should take her there more often!! HA! :)

What in the world is that dad?

Madison's souvenir!

Here she is asleep in the tub!! HAHA!!
