January 2013!

 

Some of us have cheated on our resolutions... hee hee!  I realized that it was awfully quiet at one time, and I found Madi eating this whole box of chocolates by herself!  Yikes!

 

 

This winter has been pretty cold!!  We took this picture of an icicle that goes from the roof of Mike's Grandma's house, all the way to the ground!  Look how thick it was!  Anyone who knows Mike, knows how much he loves winter... haha!!

 

 

Mike is such a great dad!  Madi loves playing with him!

 

 

One day, my parents had been babysitting for me, and we came to pick up Madi and found her in the master bathtub, all by herself.  My mom was in her room, but couldn't see Madi.  Grandpa had been in there with her, but had left for a minute.  She was having a blast in the bathtub, and didn't want to get out!  For some reason, our bathtub at home just isn't as fun... :)

 

 

At 8 months pregnant, due to fluctuating blood pressures, I was put on bed rest.  That was a joke... I had so much to do: school, callings, projects, let alone a 15 month old little girl named Madi, who hardly stops for anything!  But it was important to keep my blood pressure down, as we didn't want little Lucas to come too early.

 

 

Mike was putting our whole family on bed rest... :)

 

 

Madi and I had lots of cuddling time. :)  This was really a good thing, for once the baby came, her world was going to be turned upside down.

 

 

Madi had started winking... it is adorable!!!  Mike was able to capture it one day.  :)  Super cute!

 

 

She also LOVES the phone!  It's not like I am on the phone all day, but she knows how it works!

 

 

One Sunday at Grandma and Grandpa Buhler's house, Madi was given four lollipops from Aunt Lizzie.  Madi thought she was in heaven!  She would take turns licking each one.  She was super sticky afterwards!!

 

 

This was just a random picture that I took one night after her bath.  I thought the face she made was hilarious!!!

 

 

By the end of the month, I was seeing the Dr weekly, and doing non-stress tests twice a week.  I practically lived at the Dr's office.  But we were getting very excited for the newest edition of our family!
