Happy Belated 5 month birthday Maddison!!!

Well, I can hardly believe that Maddison has been in my arms for over 5 months. I wish that I could slow things down, but I can't. So I'm going to enjoy every single minute!!! Things have been super crazy around the Creighton household. I'll do my best to catch everyone up on our life!

Alec has quit working for Regions in Jackson, TN and has started working for Wachovia! YEA!!! I will finally have my husband back in our lives. Alec did a wonderful job trying to be apart of our lives while he was commuting, but let's face it. Spending 2 hours driving every day, not to mention the driving around town, was wearing him down. Needless to say it is a blessing that Wachovia came to him with such an amazing offer. Our lives are getting back on track. There was a point where we didn't like to be around each other at all. I was having trouble figuring out what I was supposed to do work wise and needed help with the baby in the evenings and Alec was just too tired to deal with us when he did get home. BUT we have gotten over that bump in our lives and are much happier!!!

I am now in the midst of training to do medical transcription from home. (I am supposed to be training right now, but I needed a break.)I am enjoying the studying right now. It is very time consuming and is forcing me to manage my time a whole lot better than I used to! I study while Maddison naps and in the evenings when she goes to bed. For the last two weeks, I have been searching for something. I'm not sure what that something is though. I told Alec that I wanted to be more than just Maddison's mummy or Alec's wife. I want to be something....that's probably what I miss the most about having a job. But I'm working on that as we speak!!! A work in progress...that's what I am!!

Now onto the news that everyone wants to hear....MADDISON!!! What an angel! She is sooo much fun. We started solids about a month ago and what a treat!! She loves everything we give her. I have started to make some of her food. I'm starting slow, but am hoping to keep going!!! She has such a personality. She is sleeping through the night and has been for almost 3 months. She is starting to scoot around on the floor. Won't be long until we are crawling! I don't know what I am going to do when that starts. Maddison and I are spending more time with Aiden and his mommy Jodie. They live 2 doors down from us. Aiden is 9 months old and is Maddison's boyfriend! They are soo cute together. I really enjoy Jodie's friendship. I really need a friend in my life that I can relate to and is sooo close at hand. Jodie works part time so we have time for coffee in the morning, lunch run to the mall, and walks around the neighborhood in the evening. We are both trying SOOOO HARD to lose the baby weight. YIKES!! Summer time and I refuse to get in a bathing suit this year. Maybe next year!!

Well guys...I promise to work harder at keeping this blog updated. I will post some pics tonight of Maddie! We also had our photos done at Target. The pictures are fabulous!!!

Just some more pictures!

Well guys, I don't have much to blog about. Maddison is such a content and happy little baby. The 4 month checkup has come and gone. I will post where she is at later. I just don't have the paper in front of me. I thought I would post more pics of us. ENJOY!!!


I love moments like this! This is the best part of mommyhood!!



Here we sit waiting for the train in Birmingham, England. This was the first time I ever heard Maddison giggle and laugh properly! It was soo precious! I almost cried!


Poor Alec and Maddie were ABSOLUTELY exhausted when we got back home from England.


Maddie loves her Daddy sooo much!!
