A couple of weeks ago, Justin and I took Madelyn to the pumpkin patch.  She had a blast on the hay ride, petting the farm animals, and picking out a pumpkin!
Then last weekend we went to our curch's trunk or treat.  I really wanted her to wear her lobster costume, but it was just too hot.... so maybe pics of her in her costume later!

Maddie J is 6 months!!

So we have reached the half year mark.  Where has the time gone??
She did sooo good with her shots this time! She was done crying by the time we walked out of the room :)  She is sitting up fairly good on her own now and loves to be outside, just like her daddy! She weighs 14 lbs even and is 26 inches long. She is still sleeping 11 hours at night and eats 4 times a day, three of which she has solids.  She started her meats and likes chicken :)  Madelyn loves to hear her mommy sing (which I think she is the only one in the world who likes it, haha) and she likes to be read to...even though she talks the whole time you are reading! Her favorite toy....the remote ;)

Sponsoring a Child!

Justin, Madelyn, and I are sponsoring a child from Buloba (in Africa)!  He is such a little cutie!  His name is Livingston Sekajja and he likes to draw and play soccer :)  His birthday is on the same day as my sisters too!  Which I didn't find out until after I chose him.  Our sponsorship helps him get one new outfit and a pair of shoes a year and helps him with school finances.  Buloba is a small community in Uganda (where the religion is mostly Muslim) that is teaching Christianity.  We are excited to become just a small part of this child's life!

Isn't he just precious???

Is that a chipmunk.....No, just Andrea

I have been told for three years now that I need to get my two lower wisdom teeth out (my top two have not come in).  For three years, I have been avoiding it. 
Then the dentist told me on my last cleaning that I really needed to look into it soon because I am at risk for my teeth shifting due to my wisdom teeth coming in sideways.  Ugh... I didn't want my teeth to shift and waste thousands of dollars I have already spent on them.  So, I went for a consultation.
I got my two lower wisdom teeth out Friday, and I have to admit....it wasn't as bad as I feared.  They knocked me out so I can't remember anything from the procedure. I didn't even sleep the whole day, which I thought I would with my past experiences with surgery.  I never got sick either, which was a huge surprise to me because I have gotten sick after every surgery I have ever had (and that is a total of 7... if I haven't forgotten any, haha).
I am still a little swollen and the bruising started yesterday, but I am able to eat more stuff and the pain hasn't been half bad.  No pain pills!!!  I pray it keeps going well :)
Big thanks to Justin's parents for coming to Auburn to take care of me and my beautiful little Madelyn! They are the best!!

Madelyn is 5 Months

Madelyn is now five months!  She is starting to sit and rolling over from back to tummy and tummy to back.  She enjoys dramatically fake coughing and squealing at an unbelievable pitch... She has also babbled "ma-ma-ma" and "da-da-da" and "ya-ya-ya".  Madelyn is finally enjoying her veggies, even though fruit is still her favorite!
