Miss Maddie Crazy Crawler!

Yup, you've got that right, if we don't move it Miss Madison gets into it, rips it, crawls onto it and there have been some instances where she even eats it. What is "it?" That depends. It could be the Sunday morning paper, Samson, her toys, electrical outlets (which yes we do have all covered) and today it was her little Christmas tree from Grandma. She is a crazy crawler, moving everywhere. She is feeling so much better than she did on Thanksgiving, for sure! Today is the first day she seems to be back on her regular eating pattern, which makes me worry a bit less about her. Friday is D-day, so make sure you say a little prayer for us for positive test results. I am thinking positively, and I know Carmen is too that she will be fine and they will not find anything!
Anyhoo, for the past few days Maddie and Mommy have been playing dress-up. Now I know Maddie is not a doll, but it is just as much fun if not more to dress her in her pretty dresses, shoes and tights to take some pictures. Carmen plays dress up with her too, only he likes to put her in something black, spikes her hair and puts the bandanna on her (as shown above!) During our dress-up session I got the brilliant idea to take her Christmas pictures. So I wrapped fake presents, found a table cloth that was large enough for a back drop and tried to get Madison to give me her million dollar smile, only to be frustrated with her eating the presents,
her shoes, and then wanting to crawl away. I did get some good pictures, and the million dollar smile for the Christmas card, but you will have to wait until yours gets delivered. The count down is on! Only 23 more shopping days left for Carmen and I to decide what we will be getting the Meesha!
