New House

So it is official. We moved out of Trevor's parents house. We moved a whole 2 blocks away. Some very nice people are letting us stay in their house until they sell it. Maddyn loves exploring our new surroundings. Below are a couple of videos that are cute. I had pictures, but somehow I pressed the delete button and they all disappeared. Sad huh.

Nothing much else is going on here. Trevor went to Arizona for the week for a school training. Maddyn and I have been all alone. It is very quiet here because we dont have cable yet. So we just have been unpacking and catching up on work stuff. Maddyn is having some difficulty sleeping now that she has a room with a window, but I think she will get used to it. We can't wait for daddy to come back home we miss him.

Baby Shower

However, dont bother submitting for the cutest baby contest because Maddyn will for sure win :) Just Kidding!!! I know some of you out there have some amazing pics so dont wait click now and enter here!!!

Long Weekend

So for the long weekend Trevor and I went to provo so I could take one of my three licensure exams on Sunday. About 20 minutes away from home I realized I forgot the camera so I only have one picture of the trip. We started out on Friday staying with my friend Dawn. She was so nice to let us stay there and Maddyn loved being around Ramsey. Maddyn climbed up her stairs multiple times, but of course we do not have that on camera maybe we will get her to do it again.





On Saturday we did our "stock up on everything you need" shopping and I went out with my friends that night for dinner. Trevor had the privilege of staying home to watch Ramsey and Maddyn. Trevor said that was quite the experience. If anyone who is reading this knows Rams I am sure you know what kind of night he had. Trevor said that as soon as Dawn and I left, Ramsey went to the fridge and said "I and going to throw all the food away I don't like so my mom won't try to make me eat it anymore." Then he said the rest of the night consisted of watching Ramsey do her dances. Actually it was just one dance, but she had to make sure she had the right outfit on for the dance so she did it 6 different times each with a different type of show or skirt. Then when we arrived, he was playing a board game with her. I just have to note that I have only played like 5 board games with Trevor since i have known him because he HATES games. Therefore, you know how much he cares for Rams when he played a game with her :)





On Sunday I took my four hour 200 multiple choice test. It was as scary as it sounds. I find out in 6 to 8 weeks if I passed. Then we stayed with Trevor's Grandma and that was nice to see her.



On Monday we met up with the rest of the Olsen clan and had a family picture done with all of us. The only one I got was of our little family. I will post the other one when it arrives. Thanks aunty Candice for getting us all together. The weekend was fast but we got to spend time with a lot of people we love so it was worth it.

Still learning!!!

So I came home from work one night and Trevor said that he had learned to talk in Peanut Language. So he made an aweful dolphin noise and she responded with the same aweful noise. You can see in the video. My favorite part is at the end when Trevor doesn't do it right and she looks at him like he is crazy and doesn't know what he is talking about. The second video is of her playing the piano. If the door to the front room is ever left open she immediatly goes in there and I always know because she goes straight for the piano.

Learning New Things

Maddyn is learning more new things. Here are some videos of her showing off.

Favorite Toy.

Does anyone see a resimbleince. She carries these keys around the house everywhere in her mouth just like a dog.

Pictures

I keep forgetting to put these pictures up. These are of Maddyn with her two cute cousins. We took them over Thanksgiving break and Maddyn already looks so different. She has a ton more hair now. You can't tell in recent pictures because her head is the same color as her hair.

How to Catch a Fly

Watch closely in the video and you can see Maddyn actually catch the fly a couple of times. I think he went to die a slow death after he got away. P.S. We washed her hands really good after that.

10 Months Old

I can't believe she is already 10 months old!!! It seems like just yesterday I was complaining about laying on my side all day with nothing to do and now I am laying on my back at night complaining I got nothing done. It is way worth it though. She is so funny and cracks me up more and more each day. I am convinced sometimes she is a baby genius and is just holding out on us. She sometimes she will answer our questions and then start laughing like she knows exactly what is going on. We just look at eachother and say "did she just say that?" She can't hide it long we are catching on.

Her days consist of waking up at 7:30 am if we are lucky, eating while holding her own bottle and then making a big stinky diaper. The rest of the day is spent crawling as fast as she can around the house to get things in her mouth before we can notice. She takes two naps pretty regularyly for 2 hours each and needs to go to bed at 8:00 sharp or she is a mess. She also sleeps through the night and has done so for a long time.

Some of her favorite things are playing the drums like mom on Guitar Hero, dancing to her duck, and trying to find all the outlets in the house. She also loves to laugh at the tv when she hears them laughing, pull the DVD's off the shelf, and play with puppies and cats (no we will not be getting one!!!).

She is such a people person. She will give her cheeser smile to anyone who will look. Anywhere outside of Utah, we get stopped every 5 minutes at the store because she has got someones attention then we have to stop and talk to the people so they can tell us how cute she is. She isn't scared of people and will go to anyone as long as she knows her mom and dad will be there if she needs them.

We just love having her around and can't believe it has gone so fast.

More Tricks!!!

Maddyn has addedd a few more things to her list of "Look at what I can do". First off, Papa brought out this duck taht sings the chicken song. She loves this thing. I think she loves it more than us. This thing gets more hugs then we do. Everytime she sees this thing she starts to do this butt dance. You can see it in the video below. She even started dancing to it when I was watching it to put it on the blog. Her butt dance and the chimi are her best dance moves. Today in church when the piano started she began to do the butt dance. It is so funny.

She also has seen me play Guitar Hero too much. I am always the drummer and Trevor is always the guitarist. You can see how much we play it by how good she is in the video at drumming.
