Firsts

Maddie's first candy cane! She really enjoyed it. ~ Who wouldn't?! ~ it's from the Jelly Belly collection and is the flavor of blueberry jellybeans!

Mommy's first shipment of little boy clothes!

I also spoke with Dr. Gei's office and am (finally!) scheduled for my big ultrasound on January 11th. A whole rotten, stinkin' month away. Thankfully, I have Christmas and birthdays to keep me occupied for a bit :) We took Maddie around to look at the neighborhood Christmas lights the other night (carrying on that Payne tradition) and she really got a kick out of it! I think her favorites were the candy cane lights and the giant blow up Santas and Snowmen. She also wants to wear her dress shoes all the time and can even put them on by herself ~ on the RIGHT feet even! They have evolved from plain old "Princess shoes" to "Snow White Princess" shoes. I can hardly wait until she sees her new princess "big girl" bedroom. Hopefully she'll like it enough that she'll finally start sleeping in her own bed all night long. Well, I can dream, can't I??

Maddie fun:

"It's sour, mommy...but it sure is tasty!"

Maddie: "Where's daddy's mustache?"

Me: "On his face, baby."

Maddie: "Mustache face at work?"

Me: "Yep, daddy's face and mustache are with daddy at work."
