First Christmas

Madeline's first Christmas was a success!! She unwrapped presents and had fun looking at the Christmas tree lights. We went to Granddad and Bebop's house first and had Christmas with Mommy's family, then later went to Papa and Lola's house to have Christmas with them. She got lots of cute clothes, including two pairs of furry boots! She also got a cool music table that she can learn with and also practice pulling up to stand.

First Foods

Madeline loves to eat, just like her Mommy and Daddy do. :)

She even got to try some Thanksgiving food!

She ate mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, deviled egg, and cranberry gelatin.

She loved it all except for the mashed potatoes.

Some other foods she's succesfully eaten are applesauce, banana, rice cereal and peas.

She gets so sad when she's done with a serving.

She just wants to keep going!!

Fun with Lola and Natalie

Natalie makes Madeline look like a very large baby. And everyone makes me look like a giant. Yikes. And I'm only 5'3"! What the heck!!??

Picture for BeBop

We did another photo shoot for my mom's birthday and

we also finally decided on her name for Madeline to use.

First it was Betsky, but we decided that was too hard to say,

and who knows what Madeline would come out with for that one.

Then Chelsey came up with a cute idea of Pop Pop and Be Bop,

but my Dad was really set on Granddad.

My mom suggested Beep -her own version of Betty Boop.

All of us decided BeBop is the cutest, so that's what we're stickin with.

Pics for Granddad's Birthday

We made a picture frame for my Dad for his birthday this month that said "Granddaddy's little cowgirl" and did a little photo shoot with Madeline dressed in western-wear. I love it!!! :) Anyone know how to enter your baby in casting calls and model stuff?? I totally want to do that now.
