Baby Bomb

Okay, I'm sure everyone is thinking the poopy kind of baby bombs, but no, we are talking about what happens when you bring a kid into a house for the first time. Maddy has been having a ball in the house. She has been enjoying herself as she explores the house, and getting familar with her surroundings. Over the past couple of days, the pet's have even begun to like Maddy. The cat has been close to her a couple of times, and her and the dog are starting to have a little fun. I'm sure it is helping the dog adjustment since she (The dog) has figured out that kids drop all kind of food on the floor. Jane (the dog) personally really likes the Gerber Puff's. YUmmm.

Anyway, back to the baby bomb. Maddy's toys have started to take over parts of the house. We are both completly cool with the toy's, but it's just kind of funny seeing all of the toys around the house. Three week ago, we left a toy-less house, and now we have ton's of them. It was always kind of funny when we would tell our friends with kids that they were more than welcome to come over, but this is a BYOT (Bring your own toys) house. I guess that is not the case any more, well, unless your a boy. No boy toys in this house, unless you consider my workshop downstairs :-).


Speaking of Maddy, the clean, sleek Camry Hybrid has be transformed into a kid transport vechical (KTV). We took Maddy on her first car ride a few days ago, and she really, really didn't like the bright sun. So, I went out and purchased all kinds of sun shades and the like for the car. The second car ride went much, much better. I'm sure she will get use to the sun, but it will probably take a little while. Personally I like the blue, sunny skies. I didn't see a single day of blue skies in China because of the polution. It was basically always hazy, even on the nice days.

Anywho, Maddy has been doing really well with everything. We are all still adjusting a little bit to the time change from China. More importantly Maddy had decided that she really likes Baby food. That's huge! We have been expermenting with all kinds of baby food, and so far, she likes most everything. Today for lunch she even had Green Bean's, which was a big hit. We picked up some Turkey and Sweet Potatos for Thanksgiving tomorrow, which will be good. She had that earlier and really liked it.

Here are a couple of pictures over the last couple of days. We have been pretty busy, so the pictures are a little sparse. Yesterday we went into the office to fill out our paperwork for the adoption leave, and wound up spending 3 hours at the office. Maddy was a really big draw. It was really nice seeing everyone at the office. It sounds like Maddy has quite the following on the blog. That is very cool.

With Thanksgiving coming up, I'm sure there will be lots of pictures in a couple of days.
