4th of July Weekend

Maddy has had a cold....pretty much since her birthday back in May. We had a good week and a half healthy during which we got her off of bottles and onto the sippy cups. It's been hard not giving in and giving her a bottle while she's been sick, but she's been handling it pretty well. Her pacifier seems to have taken the place of the bottles, but we'll start weaning her off the paci once this cold has completely passed.

Since she had a cold and a diaper rash on the 4th, we kept her out of the pool. She didn't want to play outside, so we sat inside for the most part and watched movies. She did have some fun with our friends Kristi and Kelli. The pushed her around in her radio flyer wagon and she was all smiles.








I put her to bed at about 5:30 so that she could sleep a bit before the fireworks. I woke her up at 8 or so and we walked up to the park. It was really dark, but Maddy had a blast. Dancing to the music, saying hi to everyone... she had no fear. She kept switching from my lap to Johnny's during the fireworks and half way through got bored of it and started searching my bag for snacks.





The next day the Morrell ladies stopped by for a quick visit. Maddy has a ton of 4th themed outfits, so we kept the holiday going all weekend.







Sunday night we met up with Johnny's parents and the Hawkins family for dinner at the country club. Still sick Maddy was a bit of a handful, but we had a great time.
