Mangum Memories: Fun Filled August

30-34 Weeks Old

August was a month of traveling for us. First we drove to Seattle to visit my uncle Bruce and aunt Cheryl and their family. Their son Mark and his wife April flew in from Reno for a baby shower for April and we decided to join the festivities. We had a great time, and so did Madi :) She got to play with my cousins' girls Rilynn (who is 2 months older than Madi) and Adelaide (who is 2 months younger than Madi).

Our next trip was a weekend at Seaside. Once again Madi played with the babies while the adults relaxed on the beach. It was a perfect weekend, it was warm and not a bit windy. Madi wore her swimsuit and even stuck her toes in the ocean.

Our last trip this month was to Utah where we attended a wedding and spent some time with my family. One of Cody's mission companions and friend was sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. We were glad to be able to attend the sealing, it's been a while since we have been to one there. My mom and brother watched Madi while we went to the brunch and sealing and they had quite the fun time. Madi was a Channel 2 news anchor for the day and then got her picture taken in front of the temple. Cody was only able to stay for the weekend, Madi and I were able to stay an extra week and had a great time visiting with family.

This was also a busy month for Madi. She got her first crib (she has been sleeping in a pack-n-play), she got her first high chair, she is starting to wave, and she is army crawling now. She loves scooting around on her stomach and uses her right foot to push off and propel herself forward. She loves veggies, especially sweet potatoes, but she won't touch any fruit. Silly baby :)
