Catching Up!

So, I am behind again on posting photos, so there are quite a few fun ones here to look at! Life is great in the Fargo household and busy as always :) Madison is almost 15 months old and as busy as ever! She is such a sweet little girl and is very driven and strong willed! Life is getting more fun with her each and every day! (Because I had pictures saved in different places on my computer, I didn't upload them in correct date order...oops!)

Last weekend, our good friends and neighbors, Geoff and Jeanine, moved :( We have been neighbors with them ever since we have lived here and it was very hard to say goodbye. Luckily, they are not too far away, but it's still weird not to see them. We miss you guys!! Don't forget to come back and visit your hood!

A last night together as neighbors

Last weekend, our good friend Elliot turned 1!! This picture was taken at his birthday party. Madison is riding "Rodie", the little bouncy horse (I think it's a horse?) that she LOVES to ride when she goes over to Elliot's house. She doesn't look like she is having fun in this picture, but she was :) I just so happened to catch her "scowl" face that we are trying to work on not doing.

Trying to catch the balloon with the birthday boy!

Such a cute little birthday boy!! Look at that beautiful face!

Happy 1st Birthday Elliot!!

Amanda (Elliot's mom) made his cake!! She worked so hard on it for so long and by the time the big day came, she had perfected it!! It was delicious, and so neat that she put so much love into making it!

He loved his cake!!

On Monday, we had a playdate with Quinn (our neighbor friend) while Bethany had an appointment. The girls had so much fun and between the two of them they managed to get out almost every toy we have!! Such busy toddlers!!!

Smiley girl!

Madison loved to hug her friend Quinn, but Quinn was a little unsure :)

Cooking food in the "kitchen". Quinn looks like the chef here and Madison is her supervisor :)

Quinn is dancing to the music on the push toy that Madison is playing with...notice Ellie in the background trying to get in on the play action?! Poor doggie!

This picture was a few weeks ago (and I may have already posted it in another post), but I thought it was cute of her

Cool chick! Madison loves to put my sunglasses on, but this pair does not stay so well, so I had to hold them on :)

Playing at the mall

Cooking mommy something yummy to eat!

When Geoff and Jeanine's movers were loading their boxes in the truck, Madison loved watching them. She couldn't get enough of sitting in this chair and kept telling Geoff, "up"!

I just got Madison this white hat for the summer and she doesn't seem to be a fan :) I like it though because it covers so much of her head/face and unfortunately she has easy-to-burn skin like mine...sorry sweetie :(

Madison thought that this was so fun...daddy was of course holding onto her very carefully and made sure that the stroller did not tip back

1 of 2 St. Patrick's Day outfits that Nana sent Madison. She wore this one yesterday to Miss Kiki's and looked like such a cute little leprechaun.

Matching St. Patty's Day socks! Her pants are hiding the leprechauns on the top of the socks, but still cute!

My little climber has such a mischievous lok on her face...I know what you are thinking little girl!!

And yep! She did it...climbed in the diaper box (we just got a big shipment yesterday)...she seriously climbs everything!! Just like her daddy.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Outfit #2 from Nana. Love the smile :)

She looks so big to me in this picture! Today we went to the park for a little while to enjoy the sunshine with our friends Elliot and Amanda.

Happy girl!

Elliot loved swinging too!

Climbing the big kids' stairs

Talking on her phone

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!
