Our Littel Honey Bunny

Now since her ever popular Pea costume was on the fritz, I decided to pull out her very luxurious Bunny costume. Her Pea getup was a hit, but honestly made carrying her oh so difficult. I mean the frickin pea's on that thing were two times the size if her noggin and stuck out so far off her body I could barely wrap my wee arms around my child. Lets just say we looked incredibly akward walking down the lane. Her cuddly Bunny-wear was so great though and she really looked so cute and adorable although her mood that night didnt match the outfit. Once night fell, we met up with Katie and Mat our neighbors and walked the hood, living vicariously through their little boy Jackson who didnt quite know what to make of the whole knocking on strangers doors asking for candy bit. It was so fun though and we cant wait till Maddie gets big enough to enjoy the festivities of the holiday.

Maddie and her man - Dad. Its amazing how much of a little pest she can be all day, but once daddy gets home its pefection at its finest. She is the opitamy of CHILL and its amazing how calming he is for her, and what a connection the two of them have.

She just growing up too fast for us to keep up with. Loving every moment though.

Happy Halloween!

Today was Maddies first Halloween Party, and although she was a sleeping beauty for most of it, those pretty little eyelids fluttered open just enough for a few pics. Here is the little Pea with her closest friends...do babies even have friends. Really now, I think the two friends she holds dearest to her heart are, eh-hhm, well you know who those life sustaining tweedle dee and tweedle dum's are.


Here is just a sweet little number I took this morning. You can tell how excited she was to be getting ready for her green debut as the cutest sweet pea ever!

These pics are of the photo shoot the madster and I took last week in preparation for her "Happy Halloween" cards we sent out. As you can tell she's practicing for her different "pose faces" that all models aspire to, and she wants uncle Kevin to get that lens warmed up for the Holiday shots.

A Night Out

This last Friday night we had the lovely opportunity of having a night out on the town. And of course we jumped at the chance to get out of the house for a bit. A friend from work was throwing a Halloween party so though we were unable to muster enough creativity for costumes; I mean we were pretty thankful we looked as presentable as we did being that all of our creative juices are spent thinking up different jingles to keep baby intrigued, doing different dances while at the changing table, because while the little miss sure does love getting changed, she hates getting dressed again...she loves the naked life-Josh tells me it reminds him of Auntie Amy. So were pretty much at her beckon call in the creativity department.


We think we look like a pretty tired set of parents here, but really were not, its just that were so unfamiliar with the camera lens pointing at us. Were just confused thats all...we've got the akward Chandler smile goin on.

Of course a night out on the town wouldnt be possible without Gigi's helping hands. She was pretty excited to come see Maddie again and Maddie always gives the best smiles when being held by Gigi. The babe is changing so much every week, so Mom's gotta keep up, and we always welcome a little help. Afterall, the best gift we can give Maddie is a set of parents who love each other and get along. For a while there it was a little rough, but we made it through the tough times...for now.

Look at that face...gotta admit, it was pretty hard to leave this time. She has just been a completely different baby this week and last week. She smiles all the time, her naps are so much more consistent. She sleeps in until 10am every morning, so Im totally rested. Im just completly, head over heels IN LOVE with my daughter. She smiles and I just well up immeditatly, and I mean the tears are a-streamin down my face. She's incredible and theres nothing in this world I wouldnt do for her.

This is the litte beauty we got to come home to. Its funny, I spend all day with her, and after only a couple hours of being away from her, I miss her so much! I cant imagine what Josh goes through being away all day and how hard it must be for him.

The Best Times with Gigi and Naynay

Maddie sure loves her girl time with Gigi and Naynay and by the looks of things they sure love her too. You should see the two of them when they're passing the babe back and forth ! Each trying to out do the other with snuggles and kisses and rolly-polly-ness. Bath time was just full of oohs and aahs and laughter as they coo'd over Maddie. Ive never seen her love the water so much as she did at Gigi's. And the one who wins the most at the end of the day is Madelyn. She is SO lucky to have such amazing people in her life that love her so incredibly much. All she knows and ever has known is pure love and if I could keep it that way indefinitely I would give anything.
