Back from Texas

Well we made it back to Gillette late Sunday night. We had an uneventful trip home. Madison was awesome the entire way home...what a relief. Brandon drove a 26 foot long U-Haul trailer filled to the brim with his grandmother's things. We were able to really get most of the packing done. We didn't bring any of the furniture, and there are still some things there we left, but we really made a huge dent in the amount of things that will need to be brought to Gillette.

We really worked our tails off this last week, which is why I didn't get any new posts up. I am glad to be back at home, sleeping in my own bed, and able to take a couple of days off to rest.

I am just amazed at how wonderful Madi was the entire trip. She really was the Belle of the Ball, stealing everyone's hearts. She was content playing on the floor or in her Jumperoo while we packed boxes. What a precious little angel she is!

Madison was able to try out some new foods this last week or two. She seems to like everything we offer her...carrots, green beans, bananas, and peaches so far. She is an independent little girl, and wants to feed herself already. Here are some pictures of her helping...




This was our first meal in her high chair today...



It went really well, but as you can see, she was covered!

Madi is getting really good at sitting up. Her daddy had her sitting up unassisted the other day, for 30 seconds or more at a time. Great-Gram's bar stools were perfect for this little angel to sit in. (With mommy's constant eye!)

Madi is really starting to love her daddy! She gives him the biggest smiles and laughs. She loves to cuddle with him. Here they are playing on the computer.

Daddy wanted a Hooters' shirt for himself, and found this bodysuit for his little girl:

Well, I really need to put my house back in order. We were given quite a lot of Brandon's Granddad's things for our basement, and the boxes are strewn throughout the house. Madison goes in for her next checkup on Wednesday...more shots for our precious one. :( I will post again after her appointment. Until then, Jami
