I can't believe she's 6 months already!

Okay, I have to admit that she actually turned 6 months on the 2nd but now that I don't have nearly as much time on my hands to blog whenever the heck I want I figure since I'm still in the 6 month range it's okay:) Well, since the last blog Madison is now sitting up on her own, is eating solid food (well, pureed solid food) and reaches for me when I come to get her and when I lay her down to go to sleep and she's crying her eyes out:( It's so hard to walk away and let her cry it out. I'm strong about every other night-she's only been doing it the last few days so hopefully it will pass soon. Also since the last blog when I said we sold our house we actually just closed on it today. It took so long and my respect level for countrywide home loans has gone down substantially. But that's a long story that I would rather not rehash. It's closed and is finally a done deal. As long as the money is in our bank account now I'm all good. We're in our rental house now which is a sad cry from the other house. It's a little older and a rental...definitely not ours! But I keep looking to the future which is our new house and they are probably going to pour the foundation by this Friday! So another four months or so and we'll be in the new house. I can't wait! Here are some more pictures for everyone to see...she makes me laugh so much!

You're my brown eyed girl!

Like father, like daughter...classic faces!

She's probably going to want to kill me someday for this picture:)

Our little Poindexter

Oh, these pigtails make me laugh every time! It's little CindyLou Who.

It's been a while!

Things have been a little crazy around here and I haven't gotten around to the good ol' blog in a while. We bought a new house over by Lake Sawyer and it won't be done being built until September. And we put our house up for sale about a month and a half ago not thinking it would sell quickly...but it did...and now we have to be out of our house by April 25th! So we just found a rental in the same neighborhood we're in and we'll only be there for about 5 months. So we'll have to move twice in just 5 months. I'm just glad we don't have to go very far for both moves. Madison is in swim lessons now...she can do the backfloat and breast stroke like no other 5 month old! Just kidding:) But man, does she LOVE the water! Well, here are some much needed updated pictures. Enjoy!

We took a trip to Arizona to see Jay's parents. 80 degrees and loving it!

Her first swim lesson

Look out boys!!!

It amazes me how quickly she's growing! She's not quite "walking" in her walker-she's kind of scooting and it's only when she gets really excited. So doesn't even really know what she's doing:)

Madison's first giggle...with a surprise ending:)

3 1/2 months old!!!

Jay & Madison at their first "Father/Daughter Banquet"

I took the pictures at it so I drug Jay along and had to dress up Madison:)

The little cheetah was so excited for the snow

We went for a walk and she was enjoying the scenery of her eye lids

I was trying to get her to smile and this is all I got

I was also trying to get her to smile here and this is what she thought about it:)

Madison's First Christmas

Santa's littlest reindeer

Uncle Nick & Madison on Christmas Eve

They crucified the reindeer! She had so much fun on Christmas that she slept right through it:)

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Getting our first christmas tree as a family

Madison's first time in the baby bjorn...she only cried for a
couple of minutes and then fell asleep for the rest of the time.

Our christmas tree

Madison's first "Grizwold Family Christmas"

This outfit was so big on her.
