Trip to Chicago!

Maddy and I had so much fun visiting Aunt Erin, Uncle Christophe, Harry, Isabella, Squatty (Bakunas number three due in July!) and Grammer (who came a day early and surprised us!).  So much fun, but as always, goes by WAY to fast!  We spent lots of time going to the park, the weather was so gorgeous the whole time.  Isabella and Harry were such great helpers too - Harry maybe too much, we would come in the room and see him carrying Maddy around!  It was so fun to see how much they have grown; Isabella still has her spunky personality, all of the pictures that she painted were "so beautiful", and Harry was still loving wearing his Iron Man costume and playing with his Spiderman.  My mom surprised me and came a day early!  It was so much fun spending time with my sister and mom.  I spent my first Mother's Day with my sister and her family.  It wasn't planned that way, but after we got the airplane tickets, we realized I was going to be there for Mother's Day too.  Christophe made breakfast for all of us in the morning and then we went to the park and had a picnic.  It was so wonderful being together - I was not ready to go home!

Maddy loved the park so much she had to take a nap in the sun!

I wish I would have thought of this - a necklace that is made for babies
to chew on it.  It was a total lifesaver on the plane ride -
and great Mother's Day present!

Yes, Maddy stayed awake all but 20 minutes out of our 5 hour plane ride. 
But she was in a great mood the whole time!

Isabella and Harry loved taking turns feeding Maddy -
that were such great helpers!

Harry loving pushing his cousin in the swing!  This was Maddy's
first time on a swing, and she could not stop laughing when I
would run towards her trying to grab her tootsies!

Such a big girl!  Loving eating mommy's apple - although had
to keep a close eye on her because she had some scary choking moments!

Maddy was loving Uncle Christophe scruffy face and couldn't get enough of it!

 Isabella, Harry and Maddy had the best time playing together.  
We wished we could play with them all the time!

Maddy's realized how to splash when taking a bath in the sink and she couldn't get enough of it - Erin's kitchen and anyone standing near her were covered in water.

 Loving the park!!

 This was Maddy's first time sleeping in an actual crib.  We have her still in a Pack n Play - so she was all cozy in the crib and loved sucking on the ribbons on the bumpers - if there are ribbons or tags on a toy, Maddy will find them!

 Such a fun treat being with my mom!

I think Maddy was a little thrown off by Aunt Erin's and Grammer's sunglasses.

As you can see, Maddy had a horrible time with her Aunt Erin.  
We definitely weren't ready to go home!
