Whew!! It's been awhile...

Well, things here have been really busy.  Madison and I went back to Oklahoma last week.  I hadn't been home since the first of November, so it was really good to come back for a few days.  Grammy and Grampy were really glad to see Miss Madison, and I think they liked seeing me too!  Grampy had a lot of fun with Madison.  They did all kinds of stuff together...swimming, feeding cats, going outside, etc.  Madison really, really wanted to play with all the cats, but these cats just kept running from her.  It was kinda funny to watch her chase them around.  I didn't take that many pics.  Here are a few from Grampy and Madison playing the piano....

And here is the little stinker trying to smile!  She's so silly!

I took Madison's booster seat with us, and I didn't use the tray that came with it.  So, she actually sat at the table with us.  She absolutely loved it.  She thought she was a really big girl, so I knew when I got home that I was going to need to set her up in it.  She's loving sitting at the table now.  The only thing I don't like is that she puts her feet up on the table and pushes off now!  She thinks it's really funny.  I've noticed though that she only does this when she is done eating, which is good.  Here is a shot of her this weekend after she ate and put her hands in her hair!  UGH!

Madison is really walking a lot by holding our hands now.  Melissa was here on Monday, and really wanted her to use some sort of push toy.  Madison doesn't like the 2 she has, and so she gave me other ideas of things that she could use...like a weighted box or a computer chair.  However, this morning we were upstairs in the gameroom (soon to be playroom...it's going to be my summer project!) and she used one and walked about 6 feet until she hit the exercise ball and lost her balance and fell over.  I'm hoping that she isn't discouraged!  Also, Melissa wants me to work on her squatting.  She gave me some tips, and we are going to try those. 

In other news, I got the new EA Sports Active for the Wii.  It is soooo cool, and much better than the Wii Fit.  I really felt like it was a workout, and not just a game.  It's much more intense than the Wii Fit.  I'm doing a 30 day challenge right now.  I'm on day 3, so wish me luck.  I hope it helps me tone up some!  I was sore the first 2 days from all the lunges and squats I had to do.  I'm hopefully going this weekend to the New Balance store to get some new running shoes.  Mine are nearly 3 years old!  

Hopefully, I can start posting more again, but June seems to be really hectic.  Just bear with me!  Hope everyone is having a fantastic week!
