Madison is quite the celebrity out here around our friends children (2 year olds). They all love having a real live baby around. They call her "baby Madison" or sometimes her name has been mistaken for "Mad-ness". It is so cute... every time the kids see me they just start saying Madison... Madison. They will help rock her in her car seat and help shush her when she is crying. They all love her! Most of them have no clue what my name is but they sure know her name.
Madison is AWESOME!!! Just to mention a few milestones... She is rolling from her tummy to her back (we are still working on back to tummy... she just can't seem to get over her arm); she is holding her head up really well; standing (with help of course); sleeping 9-10 hours at night; she can sit up in her Bumbo chair; she drools like crazy (pre-teething); she is now grabbing at things and can hold them (all she is trying to do is get them so she can put them in her mouth); she is trying to talk which is the cutest thing. Now a days she will stick out her tongue and blow - it's too cute! Her most recent milestone is a giggle. We got the first giggle on Mother's Day. It was the best Mother's Day present I could have asked for. Below is a video of her rolling and holding up her head and another one of her talking. Enjoy!!
As for Patrick and I, we are doing well. We are making friends and working on being intentional and pursing friendships. We have been convicted about getting to know our neighbors better - so we are going to really focus on that this summer. We talk to them whenever we see them, but would like to start spending more time with them.
We are attending the "Intro to Grace" class this weekend to become members of our church. We LOVE our church! It has great teaching and great community. The biggest downside is lack of older people. We are thankful for a body of believers who have embraced us and come along side of us.
