Well things haven't been too crazy for us.  I haven't updated the blog in awhile because I just haven't had too much to post.  We had something exciting happen at the Riley house tonight and I couldn't wait to get the videos uploaded to post to the blog.  Madison will be 4 on November 16.  That is so hard to believe.  Tonight at dinner, Madison fed herself all BY HERSELF!!!  I am still shocked.  She has tried to do this in the past but gives up quickly because she can never keep the food on the spoon.  Tonight was a totally different story.  She was able to keep the food on the spoon and able to dip the spoon in to the food without much help.  Shane and I are some very proud parents tonight.  Madison looked at me like I was crazy when I started crying but they were tears of joy!  The videos are posted below. 

Thanks for being patient with me while I haven't updated like I used to.  Madison and I only have about 8 more weeks until we are in for the winter.  I know then I will probably post daily again because we will have a lot of time on our hands.

Madison has been talking up a storm!  I wish I could understand what all she is trying to tell me but I haven't been able to figure it out yet.  Whatever she is saying is pretty funny to her because she can't stop laughing after she says it. 

I guess you could say we have had a pretty big week around here.  Madison also has started hugging your neck.  I have waited so long to have her wrap her arms around my neck.  She can't go completely around your neck but if you hold her up high, enough she will come pretty close.  We are so proud of her.  She is doing more every day.  My heart it very swelling tonight with pride!  Love to you all!
