Army Crawling

For the last week or so Madden has begun to army crawl.  It's not a full on crawl as he's not up on all fours.  It's more of a use his arms to drag his entire body across the room.  It's quite hilarious.  He then gets up on all fours and act like he is going to crawl but nope fake you out he dry humps the air.  This kid cracks us up.  He's so happy all the time.  All smiles all day.  It's really sweet.  I haven't captured a good video of it because when I attempt to film him he stops.  So once I get one i'll post it so you all can see the cuteness.

Maddy's First Fall

Well today didn't start off as I wished it would have.  As we were getting ready for the day, Madden was on my bed with a fort of pillows surrounding him.  I went into the bathroom to grab a brush and heard a loud thump.  I turned and he was on the floor.  I panicked as I was unsure if he hit anything on his way down.  He had a usual red spot where he hit and he was so scared.  It was a failed mommy moment.  Feeling horrible I hugged and assured him it was ok and he just took his first fall.  The first of many i'm sure.  It happens to the best of us.  It's crazy how all it takes is a second.  I got a photo update a little later that day from his grandma.  He's A okay!  Thank goodness.

First Camping Trip

We took our Madden on his very first camping trip over the weekend.  It was also our first as a family trip.  We made memories up at Leo Carrillo State Park and Beach.  It's in Malibu, CA and it is such a pretty beach.  The campground was a little dry due to the drought but other than that we enjoyed ourselves.  Now we did the full on camping with tents and portable stoves and bonfires....no glamping here.  Check out some of the photos we took.  Madden was so curious at all the different things got to see.

The Rollercoaster

I found Madden this cool walker type toy.  Chloe calls it the rollercoaster.  Madden goes around and around and fast.  Once he starts getting the hang of it I can imagine he will be going full speed.  I'm not too sure if this thing will stay grounded much longer at the rate he goes.  It's hilarious.  He loves that thing.

6 Months Old

Madden had his 6 month old check up today.  He's now 27 inches long and weighs 19 pounds.  He loves his belly time, spending time with his big sister and eating.  We have introduced more variety of baby foods to him.  Surprisingly he likes his veggie ones too.

First OC Fair

Every year we attend the dreaded expensive Orange County Fair located in Costa Mesa, CA.  It's Madden's first year attending.  It's was the most hot and sunny day and we were roasting.  Madden was so excited I think because so many people were walking around and he loves people watching.  Almost as much as I do.  He laid back with his sunglasses on and enjoyed the music and nice weather.
