Hanging out with Friends

Lately I've been wanting Madi to hang out with some of her friends during the day since she's always just with Spencer and I. She's still learning how to treat her close friends though.


Hanging out with one of her older friends gave Madi a taste of her own medicine!

Just a side note: Madi LOVES hanging out with her good friends Lexi and Hunter. She gets along with them great. It just seemed funny to have a picture of Madi looking like she's pushing Lexi, and then in turn looking like she's been the victim with Hunter. You gotta love Hunter's facial expression!! Looks like quite the bully!

SNOW...........and..................COLD!!

I obviously haven't updated for awhile! It was a week ago that these pictures were taken. The beginning of the month we were loving life with the beautiful warm weather. Now, 2 weeks later, we are FREEZING!! Sunday was a low of 9 degrees!! BURRRRRR!! The snow sure was pretty on the one day that it fell though. Too bad Madi is still a little young to go out and play in it. Next year we'll be able to go out and have lots of fun!! As for now, we are content with staying inside, watching it fall.
Most of the snow is gone now. We're just left with the COLD!! This is when we need our trip to Cali!

Sunglasses

Madi's needing some help deciding which sunglasses look best on her! This afternoon we took advantage of the 70 degree weather and went out for a walk. I brought along Madi's 2 pairs of sunglasses to keep her from freaking out every time the sun was in her eyes. The bummer was that both pairs are still a little too big and kept sliding down her nose. She was happy while they were on though!

6 Month Check-Up

Madilyn recently turned 6 months old! This past Monday, after returning home from our holiday vacation, we took her into the doctor for the routine check-up and SHOTS!! The nurse was very impressed with all of Madi's smiles, calling her "the baby of the day" (and no, we weren't there at 9am. Our appointment wasn't until the end of the day)! Madi weighed in at a whopping 14 lbs 10 oz and measured 26 in. tall.
This past month Madi has reached several fun milestones, one which you've probably already noticed which is that of sitting up! This new skill was mastered while in California and what a joy it is to have her now sitting up. I've loved being able to leave her with a pile of toys and have her just sit and play!



Madilyn has also decided to take after her mother with her love for water! Yes, I now have to share my water bottle! Every time I go to take a drink, she opens her mouth real wide, letting me know that I need to share!

Fun in Camarillo

As you can see from all the previous posts, we all had such a fun time in Camarillo! Thanks Mom, Dad, Jocelyn, and especially Truly for putting up with us. Can't wait to see you guys again soon!

Point Mugu

On New Year's Eve we ventured out to the beach only to have it be way too windy to enjoy. Two days later we had a nice 70 degree day and headed back out to the beach for Madilyn to have her first ocean experience.

We were all very pleased with what a beautiful day it was!


Madilyn had a great time playing in the sand.


We even got a little adventurous and decided to go out and get our feet wet!

Fun with Friends!

It was super fun being in Camarillo and seeing several close friends that we haven't seen since before we moved. Madilyn was excited to be able to hang out with her friend Brooklyn. Brooklyn and her parents (Brandon and Lindsey Bell), came to visit Madi on the day she was born, but we hadn't see them since. Brooklyn was a little shocked at how much Madi had grown over the past 6 months!The girls got along great though and had fun chewing on their hands together.A few days later Madi met two more friends, Milana and Lizette. She loved having some other friends to hang out with! Both girls are three months older than Madi and literally crawled circles around her. I think Madi was a little overwhelmed at how fast her new friends were able to get around.
Madi decided it'd be better to hang out with someone her own size!

Jenkins Cousins

It was super fun to have the entire Jenkins family here for the wedding. Madilyn had such a great time being entertained by all of her cousins! It was definitely nice to have people begging to help take care of Madi.

What a crazy bunch of kids~

Madilyn was disappointed that she was a little too young to join in on all their fun.

The Terry kids: Eric, Brittany, and Kaitlyn

The "other" Jenkins kids~Evan, Sydney, and Keegan (#4 is due in March!)

The whole gang with Grandma (Boppi) and Grandpa Al (Owie)
