Let's be honest, Maddie's hair was quickly becoming a mullet. Brandon took matters into his own hands and made her an appointment at Cool Cuts for Kids - one of those kid salons where they sit in a car and watch cartoons while they get their hair cut. Maddie loved the lego table in the waiting area.
Here's the before picture...
She loved the car and "steered" through the whole haircut.
No turning back now...
And the finished product, here is the after picture!
This one is from the back. It's an a-line bob, so it's shorter in the back than the front. So adorable. 
She kept that purple bow in all day - even in the bathtub.

We have a mini-autumn event going on in our front yard right now. The tiny leaves are falling off our tree and creating a leaf blanket on the lawn. Maddie laid down in it and kicked her little feet to make the leaves fly everywhere. Even in the desert, we can have fun fall activities.
Be on the lookout for pictures/video of Maddie's first pumpkin carving experience.... she picked out her pumpkin yesterday at the farmer's market.
Brandon and Maddie had a daddy-daughter date to the mall to pick out her super cute bumble bee costume. She got to test it out at the ward Trunk or Treat tonight. She wanted to run through the halls instead of mingling with everyone else. She looked so funny running around in a bee costume, I had to make a video. Imagine "Flight of the Bumble Bee" in the background as you watch it.
It is so neat to see her make connections and understand things as her little mind develops. Every day is a new learning adventure - it's almost magical to see her grow so much. We love being her parents! 
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. 
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!
