The Delacoma Daily: November 2011

Seriously, where does the time go? Since I've last updated, SO much has happened! Let's start with Halloween! Adrienne was saying for weeks that she wanted to be either a cowgirl or a cheerleader so that's what we were planning on...until we went shopping for a costume. The first store we hit was Target and as soon as she saw it, she knew what she wanted to be...she was going to be Supergirl for Halloween! It struck me as a little random seeing as I've never even heard her really talk about Supergirl in my life. You know how obsessed she is with horses so I thought as soon as she saw that ridiculous 4-legged horse costume, that would be the end of it. But sure enough...she couldn't take her eyes off that Supergirl costume! So that's what we got. And do you know what Supergirl needed to complete her costume? A Supergirl sidekick...and that would be Superbaby! So, yes, we gave into Supergirl's request and ordered her baby sister a Superbaby costume. I'll have to say....it turned out to be pretty darn cute! The Gaudin's and the Foutch's came over to Trick-or-Treat with us in our new neighborhood and we had a ball! Superbaby and Tinkerbell (aka Molly) had a blast in the wagon! All in all, we had a great time!! And actually, the adults got to dress up one night too. The Gaudin's had a Halloween party at their house and Nick and I went as Maverick and Charlie :) Too much fun!

A few weeks later, a few of our friends came in town for a visit (the Briscoe's and the French's). We went to the Cowboys game and when we got home, Nick and I were just hanging out with the girls in the playroom. Well, would you believe that Madilynn took about 5 steps to me!!? We were all so excited!! So, at 10 months old, our baby girl took her first steps...She does a little of both, still mostly crawling but she has been walking so much this weekend! Yesterday we were watching her and she just stood up, looked at us and just started walking all by herself right to us! Took about 6 or 7 steps! It's funny how excited we all get! Even Ade gets the biggest kick out of it!! Madilynn has 8 teeth now...and I'm pretty sure she's working on those fun 1-year molars. Man, those are such a joy! :)

On November 16, Nick and I took off to Mexico!!! Our friends Carrie and Patrick got married down in Riviera Maya. It was my first time spending the night away from Madi and the longest I've ever been away from Ade so I was a little nervous before we left, especially considering Ade had a fever the day we left. Never easy to leave a sick baby! But, I knew the girls were in good hands with Nana and Paw Paw! Just heard from Paw Paw today though...and unfortunately he caught the cold :( Sorry Paw Paw. And thanks for taking good care of our babies. But, anyway, we had a GREAT TIME!!!!!!!!! But, what happens in Mexico, stays in Mexico...right? Yea...that's the it goes I think :)

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. Although we didn't travel home for the holiday or have anyone come here (first time since we've lived here), it has been an awesome weekend. It's been really nice just hanging out, just the four of us, this weekend. It's not often that we have 4 days in a row to do that together. We spent the majority of today getting in the Christmas spirit!!! We have lights hung on our house (they look amazing!!), the Christmas tree is up, stockings hung and we even got to put garland and lights up the staircase. Ya know, I've always wanted to do that....decorate a banister for Christmas...and this year I got to. Well, Nick did it, but under my supervision...hehe :)

It's hard to believe that Madi will be 11 months old tomorrow. That just does NOT seem right!!! I remember like it was yesterday heading to the hospital and Nick saying, oh before you know it, she'll be a year old. And here we are...went even faster than Ade's first year! And with it being right in the middle of Christmas season, it's going to be here in the blink of an eye! I better start planning for that baby girl's first birthday party! I can't wait to see her smash into some cake! That girls eats ANYTHING you put in front of her!!! Definitely not like her big sissy in that aspect...Miss Picky won't hardly eat anything!

So, there's a super fast update! We are doing great as you can see! Time is flying faster than I feel like I can keep up sometimes...There are so many things that I want to do and just don't feel like I have the time. But as the saying goes...time flies when you're having fun!

Thanks for checking in!
