8 Months...

and walking

Well, this week has been an extremely exciting one for our family. Maddy really started gaining confidence in her balance skills and has adventured off into the world of walking. Obviously at this point she falls a lot but every once and awhile she will do really well and walk across the room. She can stand for quite awhile now too. She is just so amazing! I'm not sure where she gets her athleticism.

Anyway, today is her 8 month birthday so we had to take pictures, as we do every month on the 23rd. As you can see from the picture above it isn't so easy now because she just wants to walk right at the camera. We did get a few cute ones though...




Mike, Marnie, and Kendal came over for fish fry. Yummy! Jason and I have been waiting a year for our church's lenten fish fry. Maddy and Kendal ate lemons!

Marnie bought the girls easter flower headbands. Kendal loved hers and smiled pretty for the camera. Maddy on the other hand wasn't liking it, probably because it wouldn't stay on her irregularly shaped head.

After dinner we let the girls play. It was so funny because at one point they both wanted the walker/rider. Kendal loves to ride cars while Maddy loves to push it and walk around the house.

It got pretty ugly. Maddy didn't like Kendal poking her and pulling her hair so she decided to head bang her. It ended with both of them crying.
We have some funny video from the two of them fighting. I'll have Jason edit it and get it up maybe this weekend. We'll post some video of her walking then too. Hopefully, I'll get the Hawaii posts up too. Ugh...there's so much to do.
