Okay so Madden is a stinker these days! He is now 8 1/2 mos. He wants to crawl so bad but just can't quite get there yet. The second he falls down on his belly with legs and arms kicking all about he screams for me (which happens to be almost every time I put him down)and I have to go pick him up and haul all 23.5 lbs of him around with me. I am seriously going crazy and can't wait until he can crawl after me screaming instead :)

He just got his first tooth-wait all eight of his teeth within 2 weeks. Which I guess is a good thing to just get it all over with. Of course if happened while we were in the process of moving.

He wants nothing to do with baby food. I just have to give him the real deal. I have never seen a baby so interested in eating, whatever we have he has to have too. I guess that is why he is at such a healthy weight. He is also REALLY good and picking anything and everything up with his finger and thumb. I don't know how he can pick the littlest things he finds up.

He loves Noah and it's fun to see them interact together. They love getting in the tub together. Madden splashes and then Noah splashes and before long they are both laughing hysterically.

He is a handful right now, but hopefully once he starts crawling he will start getting easier-right?!

My BiG BoYs-Noah

I can't believe how fast the time seems to be going-I guess you know you are getting older.

Noah is now 2 1/2 years old and is talking so much lately. He will say whatever we say...so I really have to watch it around him. Which I could say that Carson is the one teaching him the bad words-:)

He loves movies, that is one thing he gets from Carson. He goes in waves and will watch the same show over and over for a few days and then move onto another one. Some of his favorites are Finding Nemo, Toy Story, The Grinch, and Napoleon Dynamite-funny huh?!

He is loving *Noodles-Ramen*, Peaches, and Tomato Soup. He knows the colors Red, Blue, Yellow, Green and Purple. He is OCd and loves to line up blocks, legos, and cars and perfectly one behind each other in a row.

I sure which I could get him potty trained, but I here it is best to wait until they are ready so hopefully that will be sooner than later. He is a sweet boy, most of the time that is and a great big brother to "Ma, Ma".

Home Sweet Home

So there is a good reason as to why I haven't blogged in almost a month-we moved! It's been a little crazy for the last 3 weeks but we are finally settling in. It all happened pretty fast and things just fell into place, so we knew it was meant to be.

We are enjoying being in a neighborhood rather than on a busy street like we were before. I am also happy that we have two families right across the street from us who have boys close to the same age as ours.

Sunday was the first time going to our new ward which I was nervous about, since we *LOVED* our last ward-it was really hard leaving there. So many people came up and welcomed us on Sunday which was a relief, knowing that we seem to be in a great ward with lots of young families too.
