Madelyn's Favorite Toy

Madelyn's absolute FAVORITE item these days is her blue rubber ball. She started getting very attached to it about 2 weeks ago. It's the first thing that has been a bit of a security item to her. Here she is carrying both the ball and an empty milk jug. Who needs expensive toys anyway?! (But looks like she does need some pants!)

She keeps the ball in one arm while doing many other things, including going through the cabinet.

She's enjoying a little down time watching Dora in her little chair holding her ball. This is the life!

Mr. Ducky is a comfy resting place!

Sometimes one favorite ball just isn't enough!

Pumpkins, Pumpkins

We took Madelyn to the Dallas Arboretum to see the pumpkins. She had so much fun! Of course she tried to pick them up, but she was most fascinated by picking up pieces of hay. It was a perfect Autumn day. It was sunny, crisp, and cool - about 65 degrees. Just wonderful!

Mommy and Madelyn enjoyed posing next to the big bush

that was shaped like a giant pumpkin!

She was singing "la-la-la" here and having a wonderful time.

"This is so much fun! I love touching the pretty flowers!!"

Happy Birthday Papaw!

Last week we went to Arkansas to celebrate Papaw's birthday. Madelyn has started saying "Papaw," but she actually says "Papoo." Everyone thought that was really cute!

She loved rearranging the babies at Grammy and Papaw's house.
