Madison missing Daddy

Well earlier this week at daycare Madison had quite the breakdown. As most of you know Robbie is in Alabama for a month for Squadron Officer School. Well on Wednesday, at daycare, one of the other dad's came in to pick up their child, and he was wearing his uniform. Apparently, Madison thought it was Robbie, started walking towards him, and then realized it wasn't daddy. She cried and screamed for over an hour, poor baby, she was so upset.

However the upside of Daddy being gone, is that Madison is officially sleeping through the night. We have been struggling with this for some time, and Robbie just hated listening to her scream, so he would always go in and give her a bottle, or comfort her. Well I knew that this wasn't going to benefit her (or us) in the long run, so when Daddy left that was my cue to let her "cry it out". After 6 long, long, long nights, we are finally sleeping through the night, WAHOO!!! Mom can't be happier.

We got a ton of snow down here the past two days and work was even cancelled on Friday, so we are just enjoying each other's company, gotta love snow days!!

Easter

Well our Easter was pretty calm, we were without daddy, because he left for 5 weeks for Squadron Officer School in Alabama, so it has been pretty low key around here. Anyway on Easter we went to church, then went out to lunch. After that it was home for naps, which weren't long enough, but better than nothing. Here are a couple of pictures from the big day.

Madison with Aunt Carrie on Easter morning. She was all dressed up in the cutest dress, however it is hard to get an 11 month old to hold still and smile for pictures, so this was the best I could do.
This is Madison first thing in the morning with her Easter Basket. She had a ton of fun playing with the eggs and got some really cool books, the Easter Bunny was sure good to her.

Here is a Video of Madison in her pretty dress and walking. That's right, I said Walking!! She just started last week, but thank goodness she got started before Robbie left. She is still pretty wobbly, but doing great considering. It's a short one, but hope you all enjoy!
