Fargo fair/Overnight with Lindsey and Brian

We brought Madison to Fargo on Friday to spend the night at Lindsey and Brians. We went to the fair Friday and she has lots of firsts. First corn dog, petting zoo, ride, live concert and more! She loved the animals - wanted to pet and feed everything! She rode on the carousel ride twice and loved it - once with mommy and once with the boys! They played some games and won Maddie a big toy which she enjoys riding! Saturday morning Uncle Brian cooked breakfast and Auntie Lindsey and Maddie went swimming in their pool and they even had a little toy car raft for her to swim in. It was a great mini vacation for Maddie! Thanks Lindsey and Brian!

Fun pics

Madison has brought us so much joy and fun this past year. It really is something to think back over these past months and how far she has come and we as parents. She loves being outside as much as possible. She even helps us with the landscaping and watering flowers. She is such a great eater and will eat almost anything. We include her in all of our meals. She had a checkup last week and they said she was 20 lbs 8 ounces and 29 inches tall. Her and Meadow are still best friends and love taking naps together. So cute!

Swimming

Madison has become quite the little water baby this summer. We try to get her out once a week and she has gotten used to the lake and loves going out on the pontoon!

Madison and Grandpa Mike

These pics were also taken Memorial Day wknd. Maddie and Grandpa were playing outside at his house. She was wearing an adorable dress that Lindsey and Brian got her in Hawaii.

Pontoon fun

These pics were taken Memorial Day wknd. We decided to buy a pontoon so that we could have something to keep us busy this summer and entertain Madison. She absoulutly loves it! She loves to help drive as you can see and hang out with her auntie Lindsey! We have broguht her out on it the last two wknds and hope to spend most of the summer floating around on it checking out all of the area lakes.

Playtime

Maddie loves playing with her Cousin Owen. They are only a month apart and have lots of fun together!

One of our friends Troy came over a few weeks ago and Maddie danced with him. She loves dancing as her and daddy listen to lots of music during the day. If she hears a song come on the radio that she likes while in the car she will start dancing in her car seat! Too cute!

The little music table toy she plays with helps her learn to walk also. She stands up with this and pushes from one side of the room to the other. She is constantly on the go and keeps us very busy!

Ice Cream!

Madison LOVES to eat ice cream. If she sees it she has to have it. It is cute to watch her share a cone with daddy and see her tiny little bite marks. She is growing into quite the little lady. Pulls her self up constantly on furniture hangs out for awhile and then screams for help because she can't quite figure out how to get back down. Won't be long and she'll be walking!
