What have we been up to?

Well from the last post you can see that Madelyn is sitting like a champ now. Its like a whole new world now that she can sit! We can play different ways and she can see more of what is going on. Love it!

Saturday we decided to go to the Aquarium in New Orleans. It was also French Quarter Fest. So...we got there and there were a BILLION people in the aquarium. I felt like I was running people over with her stroller. We barely got to see anything because all the exhibits were so crowded. Madelyn did like to watch the fish that she did get to see though. Anyway...we went through pretty quickly and then got out of there. Also, the minute we got to the got there my stupid camera died, so I have ONE picture of her first trip to the aquarium. Here ya go...

I don't know if I mentioned this before but we joined the gym here. We chose this particular gym because it has a swimming pool outside. Well this week we took Maddy for her first swim! The water was still pretty chilly but it was so hot outside. She LOVED it. She splashed all around, kicked her little feet, tried to drink the water (ew). We will definitely be taking her back when the water warms up a little more. Also, at the gym there is an inside pool for swimming laps. We went to check it out and realized there is also a jacuzzi in there! YEAH! Well here are a few pictures from her swimming adventure:

Last night we went out to eat at a restaurant here in Summit called Justin's on the Lake. And well....it is on a lake! haha. They have a deck outside and they sell fish food so you can go out there and feed the fish, ducks, and turtles. After we had dinner we went outside and fed the creatures. There were SO many turtles! It was nuts! You could see them swimming from all the way across the lake when we started to throw the food out there! Maddy watched them swimming around and had a good time. Pictures, of course:

Feeding the turtles

This is just some of them...there were a billion turtles

So today is sunday and I'm finally finishing this blog because it seems like its working a little better. Yesterday Maddy and I drove out to Covington, LA to hang out with my mom, sister, and aunt and go to a craft fair. My Aunt Linda bought Maddy some bows. She now has more to match her outfits! And I got a CUTE one that has an M on it...I can't wait to put her in a matching outfit and get some pics taken! Here are some pictures from yesterday and this morning. I ended up sleeping at my mom's in Ponchatoula last night because I was too pooped to drive home.

On the way there. Hehe

At the craft fair with Nanna. It was past her naptime so she was not very happy.

"Don't you people know I'm on a schedule??"

Crashed on the way home. Precious!

And then we woke up Nanny early this morning!

Well its almost 11pm now and I need to get to bed. Classes start tomorrow!
