First Haircut

Maddie had her 1st "real" haircut today. I have been trimming her bangs for a while now. Her hair had started to get a little out of control all over so I decided it was time. She did really good sitting on my lap. The only little problem was she refused to wear the little cape so we had hair all over both of us. A little sacrifice for no temper tantrums.

Playing with the comb after it was all over.

Bathing Suit Cutie

As you can see we had 18 month pictures taken. The beach was the seasonal background. I took Maddie's bathing suit with us at the last minute...they ended up being some of my favorites.

18 Months

I know I'm a little late but Maddie is now 18 months old...halfway to 2. She is becoming more and more independent everyday and testing the limits. Her favorites of the moment-frozen gogurt, watermelon, itsy bitsy spider, anything that has to do with going outside or playing with water-to name a few. Major dislike...being told no!! We are definitely enjoying every minute with her. She keeps us laughing and smiling everyday.

The Look

"The Look" started as scowling at everyone a couple of weeks ago, it has progressed to something funny. After she started we laughed and did it back. Now she does it when she doesn't like what you tell her then laughs. All I had to do to get the pictures was tell her to give me "the look." Miss Drama...

Just a Picture

I try to take a picture of Maddie and e-mail it to John everyday when he is away. I thought today's turn out really cute and needed to be shared. So enjoy Maddie "smiling for daddy."

Our Anniversary

Today is our 3rd wedding anniversary...

It's hard to believe it has already been 3 years. I have come to realize that June is a good month to get married and was for us...just in 2005. In 2005 the NHL was on strike so there were no conferences or camps. John is in Phoenix this week for a camp so no celebrating today. All the delays are adding up and I can only imagine the great celebration/gift/trip we will be having for our 5th anniversary. John, I love you more than ever and look forward to the years ahead as your wife!!

What next???

This child never seems to stop amazing me. What will she think of and try next??? This isn't the first time climbing on the dishwasher door...just this time I could get her on camera.
