Cousin visit- just because!

Last week Madison and I took a spontaneous trip to Sacramento to see family while Sean was on a work trip to Tampa.

Proud Grandparents with Grandaughters!

Park day in Granite Bay with Aunt Christy and Cousins!

The cousins enjoyed the trampoline at the Hutchison's house

Dress up time- Snow White 

So Tired Mommy!

Madison fell asleep in her high chair earlier today while I was cleaning the bathrooms. She had a long week with cousins in Sacramento and was teething with fevers last week on top of that, so after her tummy was full with avocado, pasta and green beans she was out cold. I moved her to the bedroom to finish off the rest of her nap.
Sean's mom says that Sean did the same thing when he was little, sleep anywhere, anytime!
So much for getting her back on a nap schedule again this week...we will start that tomorrow :)

What's Madison up to these days?

Madison has enjoyed exploring the house a bit more this month, maybe she is bored of her toys, but anyway I wanted to capture her newest interests since she has passed the stage of sand eating, bug eating and paper eating!

Her latest words-Circle, frog, eight, Elmo's World, Sheep, and she is really good at saying "Thank you" which is very cute, it sounds like "Tank Too"and her first sentence..." I like to eat" which is really funny to hear, she does like to eat but not everything that we would like her to eat! (like peas)

Boxes- she has a fascination with sitting in or on boxes so I try to keep a few around to pull out when she gets ants in her pants!

Plastic & Tupperware- she loves, loves her tupperware drawer in the kitchen. I usually have to put tupperware on my head once a day for her enjoyment! 

The stool- she loves to climb anything we will allow her to climb around the house. 

We gave her a few fun Valentine gifts a few weeks ago

She loves her Sesame Street bubble bath soap!

T-shirts- It feels like 80 degrees in San Diego and she has mostly long sleeved shirts so Uncle Brent so generously bought a few cute T-shirts for her to wear :)

.....and my 2 dozen roses...Sean gave me beautiful roses for Valentines Day and we also enjoyed a fun, interesting date night at a restaurant called Cucina Italiana. It wasn't great food but it was great company! We imagined going to a fancy Italian place and looked forward to a nice quiet table with candlelight, but instead found ourselves sitting outside the front of the restaurant located next to Burlington Coat Factory and Radio Shack :) We were cracking up when we pulled into the plaza. So... we had a nice inexpensive meal to remember and several jokes and laughs to go along with it, we were also dressed up really fancy, Sean had a suit on and I was in black with high heels. I guess when I made the reservation I didn't realize that there was more than 1 restaurant called Cucina Italiana in San Diego and I didn't write down the location at the time thinking I would of course remember so I am pretty sure we went to the wrong restaurant that night!
