Maddox, Eric and I spent the 4th of July down in Keokuk with Eric's family. As you can see from the pictures Maddox had a blast of a time. We were down 
not only for the 4th, but to celebrate our nephew Brandon's graduation from Cornell College. Way to go Brandon and best of luck with med school. Maddox was great. She slept on the way down, ate well and slept well again in the hotel. I even got to watch the Keokuk fireworks out the hotel window....Maddox didn't make a peep through all the booms and the bangs. She loved hanging out with her cousins, who entertained her all Sunday morning...or well maybe she entertained them. You can see from her red knees she has definitely been on the move. Even just today Eric and I commented on how much faster she is getting. She follows us around the house now and is quick to get into anything you leave down on the ground....for example she was quick to 'attack' the cup of coffee I left on the floor last week. Luckily I use a lot of cream so it sort of blended right into the carpet. Sure it won't be the first thing to dirty the carpet in the coming future. Totally slipped my mind that she would be able to TRAVEL to the intriguing cup that I left there. She isn't as lightening fast as that boy at story time last week...but it won't be long. She is getting more and more coordinated by the minute. Still no more teeth, but the one that she does have is comin' up through a bit more, but slowly. Hope everyone had a nice fourth....!! Thanks Kies family for a great holiday weekend. It was nice to see everyone.
