Gramm's Visit

Gramm flew in March 31st to visit Miss Madison. Daddy went camping for the weekend so Mommy, Gramm, and Madison scooted down to Anaheim to see someone Mommy used to babysit for, Amber. Amber, her Mom, Shelley, and 'Mimi' Mary Helen flew in to Anaheim for a volleyball tournament. When Shelley was in high school Gramm was her teacher while Gramm was pregnant with Mommy. Then Mommy babysat for Amber. All the girls had a great time meeting/playing with Madison.

Tuesday, April 3rd Mommy, Daddy, Gramm, and Madison loaded up and drove to Neptune's Net. Madison was unsure how she felt about the sand and water on her first trip to the beach. We took lots of photos to commemorate the occasion.

Gramm had lots of fun playing with Madison during her visit. She even brought Madison her first Longaberger Easter basket! We were so sad to see Gramm leave.

Month Eight (a little late)

This month Mommy and Daddy learned that paper is not just for playing. Madison loves to eat it too! Needless to say she is no longer allowed to play with paper in her carseat. The girls played outside in the front yard under our table umbrella while Daddy worked in the yard. Madison had a great time rolling her tongue around in her mouth. She just found this new built in toy at the end of March.
Gramm came to California to play this month too. More on those adventures later.

We enjoyed Madison's first Easter while Gramm was here too. Madison started saying Ya-ya-ya and Da-da-da. She started a new daycare this month too since Daddy's paternity leave was up. Gramm went down in the books as Madison's first babysitter so Mommy and Daddy could go out to dinner at a Tepan grille to celebrate Daddy's last day at Vortech.

Daddy, Madison, and Sierra had so much fun Daddy's last week home- taking walks daily. Not sure who had more fun, Daddy watching his girls or the girls watching each other. Madison pulled herself up on the side of the bath tub too.

She spent an afternoon playing at baby Noah's house with Mommy and Daddy, sampled her first lemonade, and started smacking her food when she eats. Whew, busy month!
