The Trifecta: Easter Bunnies, Firefighters and Fennec Foxes

Maddy has had a lot of adventures in the last couple of months!  She went to Arizona for Easter, visited the zoo twice, traveled to Kansas City to meet her great-grandmother (a.k.a. Honey) and got to spend Memorial Day weekend with Aunt Heidi, Uncle Jason and her cousin Max.  Oh, she also figured out how to crawl, pull herself up to standing, cruise along furniture and stand (unassisted) for a few seconds at a time.  She can also clap, make the "raspberries" sound in response to someone doing it to her and play peek-a-boo!  She gets cuter and more fun every day!  Here are a few dozen photos documenting all the excitement.

It's hard to grab an egg while trying not to touch the grass

Proud of herself for standing

Bored at the zoo (the spider monkeys were sleeping)

I took a million pictures of this one bird

Cleo is just thrilled that Maddy can get her now

Waving

Advanced waving (with feet)

Four generations!

Musical instruments are also seats

She didn't think the mashed potatoes were as funny as I did

This is what Maddy looks like when she's being naughty
