Bad Week

This has been a tough week......Kyle was in a car accident on Tuesday morning. He is okay, but really sore. At least he is not in the hospital! Our car is total loss though. A guy in a GMC Yukon ran a red light and hit Kyle as he was turning. It spun Kyle's car around and made him hit another truck. To make things worse, the guy who hit him doesn't have current insurance! SO, we are having to see if this guy will give us any money, and if not, we'll have to take him to court. We just hope that he'll give us what we need for our car and everything will be settled. What a headache!! Also, our cat got sick on Tuesday and I won't tell you the gross details about that! AND, we think Maddie might have an ear infection, so we are taking her to the doctor today to find out what's going on. :(
Kyle's 27th birthday was on Wednesday! We really didn't do much since he was so sore....it was a pretty crummy day for him. I felt really bad!

9 Month Pictures

Here are a few of her new 9 month pictures!

9 Months old!

Hi guys! Maddie went to her 9 month well baby check up yesturday, and everything is great! She weighs 17 lbs and 9 oz, and is 27 inches long. Dr. Moore said she has a perfect growth curve! She had to get 2 shots, which is terrible, but she is tough and only cried for a little bit. She's really strong in her legs and since she's already creeping along the couch, he doesn't think it will be too much longer before she starts walking! I don't know if I'm ready to see my little baby girl walk yet....she's getting so big and independent and it doesn't seem possible that she has been here for 9 months already!! That's almost a year! I still remember the hospital stay like it was yesturday....
P.S. We bought a new camera, finally! I will post some new pictures soon. Also, we are having 9 month pictures taken by our photographer this coming sunday, so I should have those up sometime next week I hope!

We have a very busy little girl!

I would put new pictures up, but our digital camera is not working!! We might have to buy a new one. Bummer!
But anyway, I wanted to tell everyone about some of the new things Maddie is doing! She claps her hands now! It's so cute! And she is starting to wave bye-bye occasionally. She says "da da dada dada" and blows raspberries quite often, it's adorable. She is also eating more than just baby food now. She really seems to enjoy feeding herself finger foods, which is always messy and fun to watch! (yogurt, pureed meats, cottage cheese, avocado, banana chunks, peaches, whole cooked green beans, zwieback toast, etc.) I weighed her at work a fews weeks ago and she was 17lbs 3 oz! She is crawling much faster now....one minute she is next to you, and the next she's gone! Chloe does not know what to think about it yet!!
As for Kyle and I, we have started to re-do our master bathroom! It's going very slow, but we've gotten the old fiberglass shower and sheet rock out, and next I think we will take up the old flooring. Then I will need to decide what tile to put in! I'm going to put pebble tile on the floor of the shower, but I havn't gone to actually look at any yet.
Kyle is taking one class this semester at UCO. It's only on Monday nights, so it's not as many evenings as last semester. I'm glad!
I have been making hairbows and headbands for little girls! It's my new hobby since I have a little girl, and they look so cute! I'm trying to make enough to start selling them on ebay or something like that, so if anyone needs any headbands/bows, just let me know! :)

Going, going, going!!

Madelyn is almost 8 months old! The biggest news is that she started crawling last week!! Now, she's pulling herself up to things and she stands up longer. (with some support) It's very different around here! She's very on-the-go. It's true what people say, you can't turn your head for a second!

(She is 6 1/2 months old in the above pictures. Sorry I'm just putting them on here!)
