Maddox experienced her first plane ride last week. We traveled out to Denver to visit Uncle Tyler and Aunt Brooke while Eric was at a financial planning conference in Estes Park, CO.
Unfortunately for Eric, we got to do a lot of 'playin' while he was working up in the mountains. Maddox and I went to Washington Park with Aunt Brooke and Uncle Tyler. We went to the Denver Aquarium with Uncle Tyler and had a nice dinner with my 'Aunt' Kelly and Chuck. We also went to my second cousin Emily's high school graduation in Boulder, CO. Steve Ells, the founder of the restaurant Chipotle, was the guest speaker at the graduation!! Maddox really liked the aquarium. She could really pick out the fish that moved a lot and was intrigued by the small, colorful, quick moving fish. But, actually her favorite thing was a bird!! YEP, a bird at the aquarium. ( There were actually fake orangutans and a real tiger at this AQUARIUM too....hmmmmm???) There was this big white bird with a black head and bright yellow beak that was giving himself a bath in one of the exhibits. It was right at eye level for Maddox and she loved it. You can see her smilin' at it in the pictures. She was great on the plane traveling out...took her bottle, played, slept....a really great traveler. But, that wasn't the case comin' home. I think we made a lot of enemies on the plane from Denver to Moline. She cried A LOT and extremely loud, or what seemed to be extremely loud to us. Turns out she had an ear infection! We took her to the doctor the next day and she gave her antibiotics for the infection and informed us she was probably in A LOT of pain on the plane the day before. Poor thing.! But, she's doing better now. One of these days she is going to sprout a tooth. She is really gummin' everything we are giving her and we had a breakthrough today. She was able to pick up one of the small puff snacks and get it in her mouth!!....and she liked it. She has finally figured out how to move her tongue around and chew small things. A whole new world awaits us now Maddox! She is SO close to crawling. She can get herself into the all 4's position so easily now...it is just a matter of time before she figures out how to advance her arms and legs in a forward coordinated motion. AND YES...that is Uncle Tyler changing a diaper!! We have it on camera now Tyler, you CAN do it!!
