Holy Hot Air!

So we were sitting around the house a few days ago and we heard a strange noise outside. It was very loud. At first we thought nothing of it, but then we heard it again. It sounded like this huge rush of air. Andy could no longer contain his curiosity and stood up to look out the window and this is what he saw.

A hot air balloon just cruising down the street barely above the tree tops.

The noise we heard was the operator throwing the torch to keep the balloon high enough. It was very cool.

I also wanted to share some more pictures of Madison. She ate her first real food for the first time this weekend. Carrots that I steamed up for her. She ate them right up with no problems. Even though in this picture she looks less than thrilled . We have a busy month coming up. Andy leaves Friday to visit his friend Matt who just moved to Chicago and he very excited to go to Wrigley Field to see the Cubs play. Then next weekend I am in Virgina for my friend Ann's wedding. I am excited, but a little nervous to be gone from Madison for the first time since she was born. Then the following week I am heading to Chicago for conference for work the day I return Andy's parents are coming to visit.

5 months old

Wow, it's been a while since I have had any time to update the blog, my apologies. I have been really busy with my new job, but I am loving it! Madison is really growing like a weed at her 4 month check up she was 13 lb s 5 oz and 24inches long. She is doing so well. She rolled over onto her tummy in her sleep the other night and she can sit up on her own, for about 1 min before she falls. She discovered her feet and loves trying to put them in her mouth. She is starting to teeth, but no pearly whites shining through yet. She also has started eating rice cereal. So many changes in such a short amount of time. Andy and I are just having so much fun with her every day and love to watch her make new discoveries and develop into her cute little personality.
