She was a ghost for her first Halloween!

Her cousin, Tinley, was born on October 30! I can't wait for them to grow up together!

Madison is now going to "school" at Meadows Christian Learning Center at Meadows Baptist Church in Plano. With all the mess we had with trying to find an in home sitter and day care this ended up being the perfect place for her to be. She goes MWF and there are only 4 babies with 2 teachers in there every day. And her teachers are all Christians! I mean you seriously can't beat that! She has gone once and did amazing! They absolutely just adore her there...but who wouldn't! ha! :)

Oh I just love that pouty lip! 

She makes the funniest faces when taking her picture! Oh I just love this sweet face so much! Having Madison has definitely reminded me how much God loves us so much. As much as I LOVE and ADORE Madison and call her my obsession God loves us way more than that. Crazy to even imagine but so thankful we serve a God who loves us that much and I pray one day Madison will know about Him too!

A few things she has accomplished this month:

-rolls over in her crib from tummy to back, mommy doesn't like this when it happens in the middle of the night because Madison wakes up!

-got her first cold :( 

-can sit up by herself as long as she leans forward with her hands touching the floor

-notices Bailey, our dog, a lot more! She will laugh for no reason when Bailey is rolling on the floor in front of her. 

-her stubbornness is coming out more! she likes to grunt when she's frustrated! lol 

-took her 2nd trip in the car to Odessa...this time she did not want to be in the car seat at all! 

-spent more time with her bff, Jack!

These two might be inseparable later on! 

First trip to a park, Klyde Warren Park in Dallas! Love this place!

We also got to spend some time with two of my favorite former students, also sisters, Westyn and Maddie! These girls are so sweet and growing up to be great role models and babysitters for Madison. 

And of course I had to post more pics of this sweet face, aka my obsession, from this past month! 

Our first walk...big girl style! 

Daddy's girl!!! She's one lucky girl! 

This past month school also started. I chose to take maternity leave for the first 9 weeks. I was a little hesitant to do so at first but now I am loving it and honestly I haven't hardly thought that much about school...which has been sooo nice! I get to spend my days with Madison playing, napping, shopping, and seeing her change and grow which is the best part! I have also got back in touch with my crafty side! I have made some bows and a few festive shirts for Madison. I just LOVE having a girl!! Now if only she could get pedicures with me! ;)

Madison Kate you definitely have my whole heart! 

 

The view of her room from her door! Chair and dresser are craigslist finds and the crib and bookshelf are from Target. Her bedding and curtains are from etsy! That's what started the whole color scheme. 

Bought the chalkboard frame at Hobby Lobby and used my silhouette cameo to put the verse on there. 

Bought the frame painted like this at McKinney Trade Days. 

My sweet friend Taren made this headband for Madison! 

Got the hanger from etsy!

I made this out of ribbon to hang above her crib on the wall.

I found this coral dresser painted with the knobs just like this! It matches her bedding perfectly! We only had to fix the drawers so they would pull out better. 

Happy 1 month Maddie K! We love you very much!
