Today I took Madison to the mall so she could get out of the house and play at the indoor playground. After having some fun in the confines of the kid area she decided to venture out to the surrounding shops. She first went into H&M and danced around to some of the music playing. When she was done with that shop she headed over to a shop called Spencer's that has a sign on the outside warning parents of the adult content inside. After many attempts to distract and redirect Madison to another area to play she was determined. There was a disco ball inside this shop with colored lights and some really groovy music that kept inviting her in. Not wanting to induce another tantrum I let Madison stand inside the store and watch the lights while she danced to the catchy music. Luckily Madison can't read yet and there weren't any creepy customers inside. I am sure it was quite the site for passersby to see a very pregnant woman with her daughter inside such a store. As Madison gets older I'll have to teach her that you can't always go into places that attract you with their pretty lights and music:)

One Year Pictures!
We have a lot of catching up to do on our blog from this last month! I'll start with Madison's one year old pictures. These adorable pictures were taken by our very talented neighbor Jenni Toller. The greatest part about having your neighbor be a professional photographer is that the studio was downstairs (since we are in a duplex)! So when Madison declared herself done with the first session of pictures (thus the cute crying pictures in the slide show above), I could put her down for a nap before the next go-round. Thanks Jenni for all you hard work in getting our little cutie to sit still for some fun pictures. Also, Madison is wearing the tutus I made for her birthday party. They are so fun to make and super easy! I found the instructions online. Let me know if anyone would like me to pass the information on:)
