Sunday with Papa

On Sunday, we had a fun day with Papa! He was here the previous weekend for a conference and then stayed the week to ski. So on Sunday, before he left to go back home, we all went to breakfast at the Huckleberry and then played around on Pearl Street in Boulder while we were waiting for the AT&T store to open to by my new iPhone :) We had a great day!!

She looks so surprised that the camera is out! I think she should be used to it by now :)

Eating a pancake like a big girl! She's really trying hard to eat that :)

Papa, Madison, and Mel

In the Huckleberry they have a hallway through an atrium that has windows that look through to a few of the tables. After she was done eating, Madison and Papa "scared us" through the window :)

Sweet girl

My little climber standing on the window sill

And through the window she goes...

On Pearl Street in Boulder they have a lot of fun rocks to climb on, and Madison loved squeezing in between them

Walking on the rock all by herself...such a big girl!

Climbing down

Climbing again...with Papa spotting her :)

"Hi sweetie!!"

I love this picture of her beautiful little face

Sliding down the rock

It looks like Madison is screaming in this picture, but she is really laughing hysterically. Daddy was tickling her and it was so funny!

We also went to University Bikes and found the cutest little baby bikes. Of course daddy, the biking king, had to put Madison on one of the bikes and let her ride it around the store (spotted the whole time of course!). Madison thought it was pretty cool

She loved looking down at the wheel and watching them go around

Pushing the bike around

Riding the bike around the store...it doesn't look like she is having fun in this picture, but she did really love it!

LOVE THIS!! Not like she will be riding a bike anytime soon, but since we have a bike trailer that she rides in, we thought it would be safe to get her a helmet to wear when she rides in it. This was a boy helmet that she tried on, but we ended up getting her a pink one (of course!) with bunnies on it. I think she looks SO cute in this helmet!!!

Playing with Elliot

On Friday, our good friends Amanda and Elliot came over to play and for dinner. Madison and Elliot have so much fun playing together, and its nice that they are close in age (Elliot is turning 1 this weekend!). Madison especially likes to tackle Elliot, and he is so cute and tolerant! Most times he doesn't seem to mind it, but someday very soon he will be getting her back!

This says it all...Madison is jumping all over him and he is just so calm :)

"What did we do?!"

Elliot is trying to get away

"Come this way Elliot!!"

She tried to lay on top of him, but he quickly got away :)

Crawling after him!

Two cute little booties!!

I LOVE this picture of the two of them...cute friends!!

Laundry Basket

Last week (I'm behind on my posts again!), I was doing Madison's laundry and left the basket in the family room. Madison, being the climber that she is (she will literally climb anything she can!!) tipped the laundry basket over and sat on it. It was kind of cute, so I didn't mind her playing on it until I realized that the basket was starting to break! It's made out of pretty flexible, plastic material, but I guess not that strong...oops. I fixed it as best as I could and it still works!

Leaning back

Meeting Great Uncle Doug

Tonight we went to dinner with my dad, my Uncle Doug (my dad's brother), and a friend John. This was the first time Madison officially met her Great Uncle Doug (she has seen him on Skype before) and she really liked him...he's a pretty cool dude :) Papa also helped out with Madison a lot at dinner and they had quite some fun! We had a great time!

Checking out Great Uncle Doug

Loving on Papa

Silly face!

These two were such goof balls!!

A kiss for Papa

Madison has such a serious face in this photo, but she really did love her Great Uncle Doug and warmed up to him very quickly

She loved his glasses

Papa was swinging Madison in the air

Family...Matt, Papa, Madison, Mel, Uncle Doug

This and That Fun!

I haven't posted in a few days, so here are a few recent/random pictures. Madison is 14 months now and is still so much fun everyday! She is such a little goof and a fun little love bug! We're always having fun...

Madison loves throwing the ball to Ellie...and I promise that Ellie is very gentle!

This adorable hat that Madison is wearing was a gift from my godmother, Debbie. She had matching hats made for Madison and I and sent them unexpectedly to us! They are so cute and have interchangeable flowers. It was so thoughtful of her and we will certainly keep wearing them! Thanks Debbie!

Madison in a daze

Yesterday Papa came in town for a Rotary Conference, so we picked him up and went to lunch with him. Look how tiny Madison is compared to him :)

SHe loves looking down at her sparkly shoes!

Silly girl playing with her applesauce pouch!

Papa and Madison love :) I think Madison got a little applesauce in her hair too!

Diaper girl in her slippers from Rick and Diane for her birthday! She loves wearing them...especially with just a diaper! :)

She found the flip camera and looking back through the video camera she recorded a few things...oops...at least they can be deleted!

Still clothes-less :)

This is the chair that Grandma and Grandpa Fargo got Madison for Christmas and she LOVES it! She is always in this chair...reading, sitting, playing, you name it...

She just thinks its SO fun and is always so happy in her chair..THANKS Grandma and Grandpa!

Reading in her chair :)
