<p>Well, it’s October 2nd and I realized I haven’t posted much of anything on here for most of September. I also didn’t take a whole lot of pictures this month. And I never did a 19 month post about Maddie either. What a great mom! <img decoding="async" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" style="border-top-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-right-style: none" alt="Smile" src="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/wlEmoticon-smile5.png"> The reason has been my lack of motivation. I have had a cough for 5 weeks and a cold for 2 weeks. They have really put me out of commission. We also had a couple busy weekends thrown in including <a href="http://andihays.net/wordpress/2012/09/22/sweethearts/">my brother&#8217;s wedding</a> (which I still need to write about, too). </p>
<p>I have been a huge (literally), lazy bum these past weeks. So everything has been suffering; from house cleaning, to cooking meals, to blogging. Therefore, I am going to try to catch up on life a little bit here.</p>
<p>So here’s a little Maddie Photo Dump. </p>
<p>Maddie looking cute!</p>
<p><a href="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/WP_000638.jpg"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" title="WP_000638" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="WP_000638" src="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/WP_000638_thumb.jpg" width="360" height="480"></a></p>
<p>Chuck recently redid our office. And Maddie loves to know what we are doing at every minute. Here is Maddie “helping” dad build some shelves.</p>
<p><a href="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/WP_000640.jpg"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" title="WP_000640" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="WP_000640" src="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/WP_000640_thumb.jpg" width="640" height="480"></a></p>
<p>I look a lot better than I feel in this picture, but I was happy I got Maddie to sit on the couch and watch a movie with me. </p>
<p><a href="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/WP_000643.jpg"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" title="WP_000643" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="WP_000643" src="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/WP_000643_thumb.jpg" width="640" height="480"></a></p>
<p>Maddie loves to put on shoes and socks. Here she is wearing a pair of my socks around after putting them on. </p>
<p><a href="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/WP_000649.jpg"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" title="WP_000649" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="WP_000649" src="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/WP_000649_thumb.jpg" width="640" height="480"></a></p>
<p>We went to the zoo with <a href="http://bentrishafamily.blogspot.com/">Trisha</a> and Chelsea and Maddie was obsessed with the scuba diver!</p>
<p><a href="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/WP_000664.jpg"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" title="WP_000664" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="WP_000664" src="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/WP_000664_thumb.jpg" width="640" height="480"></a></p>
<p>Maddie LOVED her cousin’s helmet. We really need to get her one soon. </p>
<p><a href="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/WP_000666.jpg"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" title="WP_000666" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="WP_000666" src="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/WP_000666_thumb.jpg" width="360" height="480"></a></p>
<p>Maddie decided she wanted to eat her snack at her play table. She also decided that her bear needed to sit there and have a snack with her. (I think she is missing from the picture because she is collecting more items for the table.)</p>
<p><a href="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/WP_000667.jpg"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" title="WP_000667" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="WP_000667" src="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/WP_000667_thumb.jpg" width="640" height="480"></a></p>
<p>Yep….we have a collector.</p>
<p><a href="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/WP_000668.jpg"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" title="WP_000668" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="WP_000668" src="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/WP_000668_thumb.jpg" width="640" height="480"></a></p>
<p>At lunch one day, Maddie decided to put her hands over her ears and started saying “lalalalala.” It was hilarious.</p>
<p><a href="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/WP_000689.jpg"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" title="WP_000689" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="WP_000689" src="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/WP_000689_thumb.jpg" width="640" height="480"></a></p>
<p>Of course, peek-a-boo was next. <img decoding="async" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" style="border-top-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-right-style: none" alt="Smile" src="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/wlEmoticon-smile5.png"></p>

<p>My mom bought Maddie a little fake fish. There are some magnets in the base that makes them move. They look like Nemo and Dory. Maddie loves them! </p>
<p><a href="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/383988_10151176781721263_2035979187_n.jpg"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" title="383988_10151176781721263_2035979187_n" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="383988_10151176781721263_2035979187_n" src="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/383988_10151176781721263_2035979187_n_thumb.jpg" width="480" height="480"></a></p>
<p>And here are all the <a href="http://chuckhays.net/gallery/v/Madeline/home/1YearOld/September/">pictures</a> from September that I took of Maddie.</p>
