between the 4th, Pioneer Day, our family doing fireworks, our City that we live in having a celebration and my former college having a celebration, we saw tons of firworks this month! Madden loved them, and did not like us trying to cover his years when it was loud. 

Madden's new monkey! (Logan picked out a different toy at the store but likes to play with Madden's monkey more than his toy, so this is a loved item at our house) 

I don't know If I have mentioned on Madden's blog yet about his reflex, but it is sometimes pretty intense. He does better on the A.R. Formula than any lactose free formulas, but sometimes it is funny where his spit up ends up. This time was especially funny when he lifted his head up and it was all over his cute face.

Madden loves playing in our sink. 

trying to drink the fountain of water

all I was trying to do was get a good picture of his eye color and hair color, and later when I went through these pictures I was laughing so hard. Look at all his cute expressions!

He is not ready to hold himself up unattended, but he is so strong that he can hold himself up already for about a minute with hands close by to catch him

If  Logan had it his way, Madden would be awake all the time so he can make him smile

at a lake with family

our City's parade

inseparable 

his hand always finds it's way up to his face while he is sleeping, no swaddling blanket can stop it

he is so good at sitting already with holding himself up with his hands. He gets around most of the time by rolling, and his scooting has turned  into him more just keeping his head on the ground while his bum is in the air and his stomach is off the ground and it seems like he is going to give himself a rug burn on his forehead every time.  He gets up in his hands and knees but can only stay like that for a couple seconds. He will be crawling in no time! 

Madden seriously loves looking at books

first time in a swing

sitting here minding his own business, looking cute

and then his "cousin" Lenny came

playing in the rain, kind of...

Madden's cousin Luke

he rollllllssss

D loves his dog! He always tries to grab her now and giggles when he sees her walk by. Thank goodness Kili is good with kids

always need to watch what he is trying to put in his mouth now!

we didnt take too many pictures while we were in Carson City, but this is at the Arby's there :)

peeking through his wrap while shopping. 

pruiny feet

We have video of us jumping in these trampoline slings, and Madden is yelling at us. It is so funny!

nap time on vacation

this didn't last long because he tried to put the sand in his mouth. He really liked the sand

and the water

trying to eat Logan's hands

taking their favorite stuffed animals from the birth moms on the car drive.

Madden and some of his cousins went to look at baby animals!

we all fell in love with this bunny and wanted to take her home with us, but the boys will just have to play with their cousins' bunnies. 

these cuties really enjoy long walks! There is a white goat that always comes over to the fence while we walk and just starts yelling at us. It is so hilarious! Madden and Logan like to talk back to it

a little unsure about his cousin wanting to hold him

bounce house to himself
