Clap if you believe in fairies!!

Maddy's first Halloween was very successful. Thanks to Auntie Di, she was the cutest fat fairy around. I was mostly amazed though by how well she tolerated her wings.



The real problem came though when she would try to crawl underthings and her wings would get stuck. Then she would be one mad fairy!

She took her fairy fame and popularity well though. The bright flashing is Ash snapping a million pictures of her that he will hopefully post later.



All in all. A successful first Halloween. I think she was more impressed by her wand than the candy though.

She can stand and she wants to ROCK!

Maddy has been standing up on her own the last few days. She loves to stand up against my guitar so she can slap the strings.

WATER BABY

We all went swimming at the Y tonight and Maddy got her feet wet again. She wasn't sure about the water at first but she got the hang of it again.

Maddy in the Park

Here's a few pics from our visit to the park.

So tired... so stubborn.

Maddy is a terrible napper. She takes about 2 naps a day, but her naps don't last any longer than 15-30 minutes. If I'm really lucky she sleeps for 45 min, but that almost never happens. When she does sleep it's under duress. She won't sleep in her crib during the day. If you put her in it, she crawls around her crib for 20 minutes till she gets bored and starts crying. She will sleep in her swing, but only after whimpering herself to sleep.

So today was a typical Maddy day. Maddy took a nap this morning in her swing for 25 min. and then woke up when Ash and Jerry came in because, well, she might miss something. Then, when this afternoon rolled around I tried to get her to take a nap, but she refused and she fussed and whined, so fine. Ash and I wanted to go out to the park, so we took Maddy and she played a little and we strolled around the park. She eventually fell asleep in the stroller, but only slept for about 15 min.

So, Maddy slept for about 35 min today. That's it. Let me show you what a tired baby who refuses to nap all day looks like at 7:30 at night when she is still refusing to sleep.



She's so naughty.
