Minds At Ease.....

I was unaware by my last few blog posts that I would send minds everywhere racing at the thought that I would want a second child :) As much as I love, adore, cherish and worship Madison - please let me tell you all - I have not and have no intention of having a follow up. As much as I appreciate each of your warnings, there is no real delicate way to word this other then to assure each of you that we are taking every measure possible at the moment to ensure that will not happen! I promise. I realize that most of you are sitting back, laughing saying "Yeah, we've all heard that before but when she gets older, you'll get the baby bug"....again, I'm sure you are all correct...I'm sure other women feel that way - They are cute and I agree that you just want to eat them up but NOPE there is still not one tiny, tinge, hint or even trace of desire to go through pregnancy or labor again. Nor, to raise another one :) I'm very busy and content at the moment with Madison and Chip and have my hands MORE then full with just that. I'm not sure my sanity could handle any more at the moment, or ever for that matter :) ....so please, everyone can rest assured (I've never seen such a flood of emails in my life! LOL) yes, I love Madison and yes, when it comes to her I'm happily obsessed but I will keep my word. She is and will always be, our only child. So, sit back and relax and enjoy me just ranting and raving about her cause it's only happening once!

Again, I realize I am her mother so of course I think she's the cutest thing EVER but she's just so cute I can't stand it! Doug & Kim bought Madison this adorable outfit that I've been (once again) waiting for her to grow into so I could go have pictures done! Much to my delight - the day arrived and the pictures turned out great!

Looking Back...

I realized looking back at old posts on the blog that since October 30th, 2007, I've practically talked about nothing other then Madison. For most of you, I'm sure this comes as a bore. Your probably getting excited at this moment thinking that I had finally figured out to speak of something else for a change but you would be wrong :) See, my Madison is perfection. She is the glue that holds my universe together and I could go on and on (anyone who knows me knows that is true!) about her forever! I would give up anything (sleep, personal apperance, sanity...) for her without so much as a second thought. My precious miracle turned 4 months old on Tuesday. I can't spend enough time looking at her or being with her. There aren't enough hours in the day. Waking up is like Christmas morning every day....she's so much fun to talk to, to watch, to dress and to cuddle with. On one hand, I love watching her grow up. I love watching her do and discover new things but at the same time, it makes me sad to realize that all of this is going by so fast and before I know it, my little girl will not be little anymore. She's the light of my life and my favorite part of the day. She's like sunshine on a rainy day and a cool breeze during summer. One look and smile from her can melt your heart in a second. So, even though looking back at old blog posts are fun and my life with Chip for 9 years has been great, my life now is more then I could of hoped for and I couldn't imagine it any other way.

Daddy's Girl

So Sunday, Chip and I woke up and went and got Miss Madison who was staying at MeMe & PaPa's house. Chip had the great idea to take her to this restaurant, the Rainforrest Cafe at Katy Mills Mall. For those of you who have never been, you have to go! It's filled with fish, animals, waterfalls and tons of colorful things to look at! Chip and Madison spent time looking at the fish tanks and all around the gift shop...she took a bit of a nap during lunch but was ready to hit the mall when she woke up! We spent the next several hours walking around the mall and of course, being the daddy's girl she is, Chip couldn't resist getting her 2 adorable outfits!!! They are 2 little dresses with sweaters. So, we had to put one on her for school today! So precious!

Tummy Time

So my big girl is starting to learn to roll over from her back to her front but she's got this tummy time thing down! One of her favorite things to do on her stomach??? Thanks to MawMaw & PawPaw it's watching her Baby Einstein DVD's on her very own big screen dvd player!!!

Play Time

You know how much Chip loves Maddie and I by this HUGE play area that I've managed to slowly set up in the corner of our dining room. For those of you who know Chip, you know that he likes things just a certain way and baby stuff displayed everywhere....is not on his favorite things list :) BUT, because we are his girls, he has let me do it without saying a word...he even plays with Madison in her special little corner!

Our Sweetheart

This is going to be one of those moments in Madison's life where she looks back at this outfit and is going to want to kill me! LOL She is for sure the talk of day care each day when she arrives in her outfits that we plan so well :) Today for Valentine's Day she's wearing pink pants with white hearts, her socks are white with pink hearts and of course, the shirt has a touch of bling :) with a pink flower!!! The bow is just the icing on the cake! LOVE HAVING A GIRL PEOPLE!!! Doesn't she just look delicious??? Such a sweetheart!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. According to the Greeting Card Association, an estimated one billion valentine cards are sent each year, making Valentine's Day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year. And approximately 85 percent of all valentines are purchased by women. (Surprise! Surprise! Let's step it up boys!!!)
So Happy Valentine's Day to each of you! Now, go out and give your sweetie extra hugs and kisses today!

Numero Uno!!!

Much like our kids, we all think our dogs are the cutest :) Well, our friends Kirk & Denise own a Beagle named Morgan that really is just the cutest!!! We always talk about what a pretty dog she is! Denise and I went and got her when she was just a tiny little thing!! Well, this year, for the first time ever, a Beagle named Uno won Best In Show at the Westminster Dog Show and she looks just like Morgy!!! So, congrats to Uno and to Morgy for being SO CUTE and the best dogs ever! Ah-Rooooo!

Baby Love

Well, as I'm sure most of you have heard by now, Matthew McConaughey is going to be a daddy and I am not the lucky girl! (weeping uncontrollably!!!) anywho, Chip was very eager it seemed to share the news with me further crushing any dreams I had of ever moving to Austin or California and make stalking him my full-time job :)

But, seems the world is not such a cruel place after all :) Karma. See, Chip's favorite Victorias Secret model, Alessandra Ambrosio is expecting a visit from the stork as well :) Then, to make matters even worse, his favorite actress, Jessica Alba - pregnant! Ahhhh, the world is at peace again!

Big chair for the big game!!!

Miss Madison has made it VERY clear that she is a big girl who wants to sit up - she no longer wishes to lay in her baby green pillow that she has spent the last 13 weeks of her life in....No, no...she wants to sit up and see what's going on! She'd walk if she could! So, my mom went and got her the Bumbo...this is the new green pillow in our house - Madison LOVES her new big girl chair and loved watching the football game in it! So, I'm sure 90% of all the pictures you see from this point forward (much like the green pillow pics) will all now be in the Bumbo :)

Sugar and spice and everything nice....

Thank heaven for little girls! Really! Lord knows I did something right to be blessed with Madison! She just gets more adorable every second of the day! I will be forever grateful that she's healthy and complete's my life. I don't even remember how I ever lived without her to begin with :) Anyway, this morning (cause it's Friday and we were feelin' sassy) I was getting her dressed for school and couldn't resist putting her in this outfit! I LOVE it! Did I mention again how fantastic I think it is that I have a little girl????? :) She looked SO cute even the ladies at school had to take her around to the other classroom's to show her off!
