Maddie Walks (In a Cheating Sort of Way)!

Well, as usual, it's been a really long time since I've updated this! So I thought I'd do a little compilation of Maddie's efforts towards walking, and end the video with Maddie just walking around being herself. I realized when going through the videos just how much footage I have of Maddie just being Maddie. Ha! I feel like the paparazzi!
Things here have been very busy lately! I started work at the hospital I'm at, and that means Maddie is in daycare 1-2 days a week. This was a tough decision, but in the end, we think it's the best. She seems to like the other kids, and I really like the daycare. Although I walked in the other day just in time to see another little girl pull the binky right out of Maddie's mouth and throw it at her head! It was actually kind of funny because she had a hard time getting it out of Maddie's mouth. Maddie gets a tight suction on those binkys! She started waving to Mike a few days ago, and for about 48 hours would ONLY wave to Mike! Now she she has graciously decided to wave to everyone. :) She also really likes climbing up the stairs. We walk right behind her (of course), and she barrel rolls the whole way down! Just kidding. Just seeing if you're actually reading. She giggles the whole way up, not barrel rolls down. :) I'll work on getting a video of these two latest accomplishments.
Mike is still liking his job and still not talking much about it unless I pump him for info. He had a really great time decorating for the holidays (so did I!)
I have decided to apply for anesthesia school, and I've been working on making my application for that complete. It's a competitive field though, and a really hard program, so I'll let you know what the final word ends up being. To start, I'm just applying to USC (the one in CA), and if I don't get in I'll apply elsewhere.
Here's the video:


I hope this blog finds all of you enjoying your Christmas Season!!

Maddie is a busy girl! I had a big grin through the entire video. She is so happy and precious. She sure did figure out how to make a cardboard box work for her! Kisses to all.

I'm glad you got her a proper walker so she didn't have to keep using that box! :)

Haha! Pam, the funny thing is that we still have the box too. I think she likes it just as much (it's slower, so she doesn't tumble as much). :)

Jenny,

Maddie is a baby doll, she is so cute. Popa said she drives her walker like her Mommy drives her car. Merry Christmas to All. Love, Gram & Popa

Ha! Popa, that last accident was only TECHNICALLY my fault! :)
