Gulf Shores Beach Trip

We just got back from a great weekend trip to Gulf Shores. Madelyn had so much fun. We went to the beach and the beach and water was so clear but there was a double red flag so we couldn't get in the water. It was too hot to be on the beach and not get in the water so we only stayed on the beach for about 30 minutes. The rest of the trip we went to the Gulf Coast Zoo (they had a show on the Animal Planet called The little zoo that could, it was really a nice little zoo) played at the pool, went shopping and just enjoyed being away for a few days.

Trying a lemon for the first time. She whined and whined for the lemon so we finally gave it to her and she looked like she was having a seizure. Then she wanted another one!

Will walk for marshmallows

I gave Madelyn a mini marshmallow yesterday and she loved it. Then I put one across the room and told her to walk to it and she walked all the way across the room to get it. We have been practicing with marshmallows for two days now and she's doing so good. So she will walk if she really wants something but still prefers to crawl.

She was so proud of herself
