Thanksgiving Redneck Baby and Fulmer Appreciation

For Thanksgiving this year, we continued our tradition of being "adopted" by Scott and Sarah's family. We had a great Thanksgiving lunch and Maddie (of course) was the most popular girl at the party. I made sure to get her all dressed up so that we could take a family picture to commemorate her first Thanksgiving....new pretty dress, frilly socks, little patent leather shoes....the works! A pretty big deal for her, considering she has had shoes on an average of once a month since she was born! (You can take the new mommy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the new mommy!) Well, OF COURSE, I procrastinated taking the picture until after we ate...then "Uncle Scott" wanted to practice changing a diaper, since he and Sarah are expecting a little girl as well. Bless his heart, he did a great job except the diaper was a little loose, and a little low. The next thing I know, she is snuggled up with him watching the Titans game, and lets loose a poop-splosion that soaks her undershirt, dress, Scott's shirt and his pants! She had poop on her cream-colored shirt up to her shoulder blades. Poor Scott. And poor me, because I forgot to bring another outfit, and my lovely family portrait was reduced to Andy holding "Naked Redneck Baby" on the couch. Ah, Memories!

Saturday was dubbed "Fulmer Appreciation Day" in Knoxville, so we celebrated here in the land of that "other UT" as well. I can't believe I am doing this, but here is a horrible picture of me with no makeup...Maddie looks so cute I had to post it. We missed everyone a ton this weekend, but in only three weeks we'll all be home!

Hysterical Baby!

I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving! I promise to post a funny story about our day later, but I HAD to post this video that I just took right this second...we have been cracking up over it!

2 in one week?!?!?

I know, you are shocked, all two of my followers ;) But I changed the blog to my default startup page, to encourage me to update. I wanted to post a couple of pictures to show how much Madeline has grown in the last three months:

6 days old

3 months old



2 weeks old



3 months old



What a big girl! Here are a couple funny pictures, just for the heck of it!

New Video!

Here is a new video of Miss Madeline playing with some of her favorite toys. She is growing so fast! I tried to capture her big, gummy grin, but had to settle for an assortment of grunts and giggles instead. She is 3 months old and more fun every day!
