cITy creek ARRIVED!

So I am in love with everything about the new City Creek Center. Beginning with their advertising campaign. Good design just makes me happy!

 We have a trax stop 1 mile from our house. (oh ya, we have a new house! I should blog about that sometime) So we thought it would be fun to ride them up to downtown. Maddox thought this was the best way of traveling, no car seat! It was pretty awesome and we didn't have to worry about downtown parking!

 The whole inside-outside marriage that is going on at City Creek is amazing. I love the juxtaposition. It was a heavenly 68 degrees and simply a beautiful night.

 We walked through the whole thing shopping, admiring and loving.

 The street performers brought an NYC feel which I loved. Live music on every corner and human statues like this (only the New York ones don't get personal security).

 I wish I could have gotten a better pic but this fountain blows water AND fire. Fabulous!!

 Mads had some fun at 77kids! You bet we took home that fedora and some other to die for baby clothes.

This was one of my favorite nights in a long time. I loved the energy, great design and of course spending it with my family!! City Creek, we welcome you with open arms. (though I do love the Gateway and hope it survives!)

LOVES

You can clap your cute little hands. It is so fun to watch you get excited and clap clap clap

Also with your hands you’ve learned to give high fives. We’re still working on the pounds

You’ve learned how to make so many new sounds this month, my favorite is the Indian sounds

I think you’ve learned that my little buzzer sound means “no” and for the most part you obey. Sometimes you stop, look at me, and then go back to eating whatever harmful thing you were playing with.

Your dad was out of town for work 3 weeks of this last month. One time when we dropped him off at the airport, he waved bye to you through the window and as I pulled away you burst into tears. It was so heartbreaking. Good thing Dad didn’t see, that macho man might have shed tears with you

You’ve learned how to pull off your shoes, socks, hats, and mittens. What a fun game to put them all back on and you pull them all back off!

Your first real word….“dada”!! And boy was your Dada proud!!

Your Aunt Amber taught you how to climb up the stairs, joy!

You must have known it was Valentine’s this month because you have been giving out so many kisses. They are open mouth and wet and I LOVE them!!

You are the sweetest little boy Maddox. We have so much fun watching you learn and grow. Thanks for being our little buddy. We love you!!
