California Trip

We went home this weekend for my little sister, Lauren's baby shower. We had lots of fun and got to visit with lots of family. All 6 kids in my family were home at the same time and all the cousins were together. This only happens once in a while and it was so fun to see everyone with their babies!

On our way out, Maddie was intrigued by the windmills outside of Cabazon. I wonder what she thought about them.Now that she is in a front facing car seat, she gets to see a lot more of the world. She loves being able to see out the windshield and see her dad driving.

Lauren had a super cute, princess themed baby shower. Maddie loved being at Grandma Eatough's house, but wasn't too sure about the tiara on her head.

Maddie loves all the new toys at Grandma Eatough's house. She carried around these bowling pins all day. She got to play with both of her cousins, Adam & Tyler - a rare treat since we live in different states. She had fun following the boys around and stealing Tyler's juice cup when he wasn't looking. Grandma Milloy bought a baby swing for Maddie and Jasmine and Maddie LOVED it. It was hard to get pictures of her that weren't blurry, but she flapped her arms, kicked her feet, and laughed harder the higher she went.We also went to a pancake breakfast at Uncle Bennett's fire station. Maddie met Smokey the Bear, ate pancakes, and climbed around in fire trucks. It was her nap time, so although she looks a little bored and is yawning, she was just tired. Don't worry Uncle Bennett, Maddie loved the fire trucks!
