So for some family fun and to begin a family tradition…this year we went to historic Ellicott City to visit the B&O train station museum for the train gardens. Gramps Gran had fun showing the munchkin the trains and she really seemed to enjoy watching them go around. It will be fun to see where we end up next year !!!

Some family Christmas fun
Monday, December 29th, 2008Christmas tree search
Monday, December 29th, 2008
We took Madeleine to search for the 2008 Button family Christmas tree a few weeks ago. It didn’t take long to find a perfect little tree that we all loved. While were at the tree farm, a place called Enviromental Evergreens owned by a friend and former teacher of mine Bob Chance, Maddie met Santa Bob and his reindogs.
Maddie meets the Jolly Fat Man

Kathleen dressed Maddie up in her Christmas dress and we took her to see Santa on Tuesday evening at the Harford Mall. It was surprisingly quick & painless. We were a bit unsure how she would do but she handled it like a champ….she sat on Santa’s lap, grabbed his beard and looked around…didn’t shed a tear or even get fussy. She looked toward the camera when we called her name, the girl snapped a couple of shots and we were done !!
Month number NINE
Wednesday, December 10th, 2008
So we are now in the ninth month of the munchkin !!! We can’t believe it either !! She is crawling with ease and actually gets frustrated because she wants walk more than crawl. Maddie will pull herself up, as you can see in the photo, and stand there for a bit before she just sits down and crawls on to something else. Baby babble is getting more clear…she now says momma, dada, and pop just to mention a few…book is one word that sort of surprised us. She is eating cherrio’s and a few other more solid things too.
