elis-birthday-party (click here for video) Maddie’s friend Eli celebrated his 1st birthday last Saturday, officially April 15th, with a fun party at Eli’s house. There were many munchkins there to help celebrate and Madeleine enjoyed every minute. There was even a two week old baby that she was FASCINATED with her. Madeleine kept walking to the baby and trying to touch the baby & rock her in her car seat and kept pointing to her nose and saying “baby nose”. She made a new friend with a little boy named Jacob as well as pretty much every other kid there too. Eli loved his gift from Maddie, a big dump truck with a scoop and blocks…it seemed to be a big hit !! For a birthday cake there were cupcakes and of course Maddie and Eli got a little messy with the icing. Be sure to take a look at the Eli’s 1st B-day page for more photos.

Eli’s first Birthday party

Yes, I know I’m a bit late with this entry but it’s been a bit busy lately. Maddie enjoyed Easter a bit more this year. She got a really nice bunny stuffed animal from Poppy & Nonnie along with some other fun stuff and a basket of goodies from Grams & Gramps. Nothing spectacular but she enjoyed pulling the fake grass out of the baskets and playing with everything.
Munchkin on the Move : month 13
Tuesday, April 14th, 2009maddie-walk-3 (click here to view movie) So for month number 13 we’ve truly reached a milestone…Madeleine is now officially walking on her own !! She has been walking with some help from people, walls, tables etc. but now she’s put it together and she’s a baby on the move. Her vocabulary is still growing like crazy. She repeats just about anything you say to her and I’ve really had to start watching what I say around her. Purple is one of the newer ones, I tried to get her to say Ravens along with purple…she’s working on it. We’ll have it nailed by football season !!
Back to the Playground

Spring has sprung !! A week or so ago it was just too nice a day to be inside so Kathleen & I thought we could take a family stroll on the trail. We called Amy & Bryan to see if they would like to join us & of course, bring Eli. They agreed and we met at Annie’s Playground. We never really walked the trail but everyone had a lot of fun swinging, sliding and just playing. Kathleen and I had taken Maddie to the playground when she was 5 months and she had a great time on the swings but this time was a lot different. She went down the slide, crawled through the big tubes and of course had some fun on the swings. Please check out the Back to the Playground page for some more fun !!
