New pictures .... so cute!!!

OK, so I don't have a ton of stories or interesting posts about Maddy. It's work and come home each night. But I do have new photos thanks to my mom (and my new camera).

I take that back .... one interesting thing about Maddy, she is trying desperately to roll over. She pushes herself to the side, but doesn't quite make it. Then she wiggles as if it will help her to the other side. I've tried to capture it on camera, but she freezes up. So more to come, and hopefully, if I'm creative enough, I hope to get it on video. It's too cute for words. In the meantime, more pictures.

Here is a picture with "the girls" from my Aunt Jan's visit Valentine's weekend:

Here is another "hat" picture (my mom is making a photo album of all hats for Maddy, so I'm very focused on getting hat photos). I love this picture: And I DID get a new camera, at a GREAT deal last weekend. Here are a few pics with them as well as the new "mommy do" (don't miss the V-Day roses from my FANTASTIC husband):

A cute picture of my family and Maddy's new favorite thing, the Baby Bjorn:

And finally, a daddy/daughter nap. SO CUTE:

Happy Valentine's Day!

It's a day late in blogtime, but it's been a very nice weekend! Work, again, was long this week and even though I love being back, it's still amazing to me how tired I am and how hard juggling can be. Jim had a long week in the field so it was just me and Maddy until Friday, and I think it's taken me 48 hours to feel back to my normal self!! We had a quiet dinner of speghetti and meatballs last night and watched The Little Mermaid with Madelyn. The shark scene seemed to scare her but she loved the singing. And Jim brought me roses which is about the sweetest thing ever and made the whole week wash away!

Today is our 6 year anniversary! At least the anniversary since we met. We are heading to an early dinner tonight while my mom and Aunt Jan play with Miss Maddy. Here's her so cute outfit she's wearing today:

I've been very bad about taking pictures and video even though Maddy changes and grows each day. I'm extraordinarily frustrated with my camera right now ... it's five years old and takes what seems like three seconds to take a picture. I miss some of the cutest looks and smiles from my little girl, and now the digital screen won't work. That picture took 10 pictures to get one with her smiling!!!

So we are going to get a new camera today. I'm sure I want the Sony SureShot camera. It automatically takes a photo when it detects a smile!!! I've seen it on three or four daytime shows (maternity leave was BAD for me to find new things I want) and it's pretty cool. I'm hoping the combination of having a camera I LIKE and a better week will lead to more blogging. I'll leave you with this ...

Maddy has started playing with lovies, and this one is the perfect size for her. She wouldn't let it go while sleeping the other day, and we couldn't risist this shot:

Working Mom

So last week was an adjustment, working from home some, going in some. It was hard, Maddy was still home. This week, Maddy went to day care. She's done great ... no crying or much of anything. She's still sleeping through the night and all the little kids seem to love her at day care.

And, I'm not too much of a mess, in fact, I really love working again. But, I have to say, I'm totally and completely exhausted. On Tuesday, I was asleep by about 8:30 and missed several calls from Jim. I am barely staying awake right now as I catch up on Lost, which I didn't get to watch last night because I was sleeping. I can hardly believe how much a baby and working has completely wiped me out.

Anyway, little bit and I took a nap on Saturday morning. I wish I could have a nap daily. Just from 1 - 2 p.m. It would make for a much easier day.

If you don't like Texas weather ...

Just wait a day. So after the ice storm, we've had the most beautiful spring weather this weekend. I went through Maddy's clothing and found this spring outfit and I'm glad I did. The hat has MAYBE a week left until it's too small. It's so cute on her though!!! The outfit MAYBE has a few weeks left. Check out the cheeks (hers, not mine)!

I'm laughing at myself today as I bought this outfit when I was pregnant and got a 0-3 month hat and a 3-6 month outfit. Who does that??? I think I thought the hat looked to big in the store so I bought a smaller one. I still can't figure out baby clothing sizes .... some of her stuff is 6 months already and she still fits comfortably into some 0-3. It's SO confusing!
