What little girl doesn't, right? On this particular day, she was in rare form and we had a blast just being silly and having fun. She will not wear the green wig though. I guess she's smarter than me, after seeing my picture. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TTJskyouHFI/AAAAAAAABGs/y85txe9eLm8/s1600/Winter%2B2010%2B022.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562627869079641170" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TTJskyouHFI/AAAAAAAABGs/y85txe9eLm8/s400/Winter%2B2010%2B022.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TTJsk8-0-VI/AAAAAAAABGk/z8soYTbDMoQ/s1600/Winter%2B2010%2B019.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562627871856720210" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TTJsk8-0-VI/AAAAAAAABGk/z8soYTbDMoQ/s400/Winter%2B2010%2B019.JPG" /></a> Apparently, we spent too much time playing by the look of the mess in the house. lol<br /><br /><div></div><br />Maddie's new favorite thing to do is perform for the video camera.

It was so much fun watching Madeline enjoy the excitement of the holidays. Maddie's favorite thing was the lights. It was so cute when we went by a house with Christmas lights. She would say, "Look, Christmas lights. Merry Christmas!"<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TTJmUsnwVnI/AAAAAAAABGc/smnXVxQEZcc/s1600/Winter%2B2010%2B014.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562620995517306482" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TTJmUsnwVnI/AAAAAAAABGc/smnXVxQEZcc/s400/Winter%2B2010%2B014.JPG" /></a> In awe over the snow globe that Dolores sent her.<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TTJmUPf434I/AAAAAAAABGU/uwzJ_ZqlqX8/s1600/Winter%2B2010%2B010.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562620987699683202" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TTJmUPf434I/AAAAAAAABGU/uwzJ_ZqlqX8/s400/Winter%2B2010%2B010.JPG" /></a> Merry Main Street was a lot of fun. Of course she loved the lights and enjoyed the horse carriage, reindeer, balloon light show, and Santa. Her favorite part was the elementary school choir. It was neat to see some past students perform.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TTJmTx4kwnI/AAAAAAAABGM/6MJQ0Exkh2I/s1600/Winter%2B2010%2B008.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562620979750158962" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TTJmTx4kwnI/AAAAAAAABGM/6MJQ0Exkh2I/s400/Winter%2B2010%2B008.JPG" /></a> Visiting Santa's reindeer.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TTJmTxN3GjI/AAAAAAAABGE/lWo_T2NpmK8/s1600/Winter%2B2010%2B004.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562620979571006002" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TTJmTxN3GjI/AAAAAAAABGE/lWo_T2NpmK8/s400/Winter%2B2010%2B004.JPG" /></a> Aunt Laura came to visit. Madeline adores her and still talks about her, especially when we see an airplane. She points to it and asks if Aunt Laura is on that plane. Then she says, "I love Aunt Laura. She's very nice." So cute! We went to Grapevine and Laura, Maddie, and I decorated gingerbread men. I think she has a future in decorating cookies and cakes! Well...maybe not. She spent more time licking the frosting than decorating.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TTJmTjn6qLI/AAAAAAAABF8/afi65M2udAE/s1600/Winter%2B2010%2B002.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562620975922194610" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TTJmTjn6qLI/AAAAAAAABF8/afi65M2udAE/s400/Winter%2B2010%2B002.JPG" /></a> Daddy and Maddie at the Ice show.

She was definately on and loved everything about it... the dress, fancy shoes, the camera, all the props... She was a total ham and made the photographer laugh through the entire session. She said Maddie's a character and had so much personality. When we went back to check out the pictures, the lady at the front said the photographer couldn't stop talking about Madeline and what fun she had with her.<br /><br />The link (could only put it in the labels for post section) is just a little glimpse of some of the photos in a short video. Luckily, they didn't include any that we chose so we can send them out for Christmas too.Madelinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14920381540277304978noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-60161821154143312.post-37062458794871098622010-11-23T08:36:00.002-06:002010-11-23T08:44:31.199-06:00No Way!It's that time of year! Christmas is in the air. This year is the most exciting yet because Maddie is finally starting to "get it". She has been asking lots of questions about all the decorations and Santa. <br /><br />We have been telling her about Santa and his reindeer. It's been fun talking about Santa coming down the chimney and watching her face. She had a look like... What? The chimney? That doesn't make sense! <br /><br />I asked her if she wanted to see Santa and she responded, "NO WAY!" We told her that she has to tell him what she wants for Christmas and she said, "No, I won't. " So we showed her some Youtube videos of kids visiting Santa and she changed her mind. So, we asked her what she was going to ask him for. Her response... "All of it." <br /><br />We got all dolled up to see Santa and Madeline was really excited. When we got there, she couldn't wait to see him. There was no line so I thought, this is perfect. She asked me to pick her up. We walked up to him and she clung to me and started crying. I sat next to Santa while holding her and she tried to escape like her life depended on it. Maybe next year!Madelinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14920381540277304978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-60161821154143312.post-64213209413104044542010-11-21T23:05:00.002-06:002010-11-21T23:16:55.037-06:00Random Fall Photos<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TOn7iecgw7I/AAAAAAAABFw/pMhVEaS-hmU/s1600/October%2B2010%2B%2BHugging%2BDaddy%2B%2B012.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542237386162881458" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TOn7iecgw7I/AAAAAAAABFw/pMhVEaS-hmU/s400/October%2B2010%2B%2BHugging%2BDaddy%2B%2B012.JPG" /></a> Hugging Daddy<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TOn7ia3eAlI/AAAAAAAABFo/rhKJtklzq10/s1600/October%2B2010%2B%2BBathtime%2B129.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542237385202205266" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TOn7ia3eAlI/AAAAAAAABFo/rhKJtklzq10/s400/October%2B2010%2B%2BBathtime%2B129.JPG" /></a> Halloween-Madeline had a blast. She loved trick-or-treating and even started going to the doors on her own, while we waited at the end of the walkway. All went well until she rang the bell and I man in a werewolf costume jumped out and scared her. She shivered all over and said "Trick or Treat????" Total question in her voice. He gave her candy and she said, "Thank you?" again question in her voice. Then she turned around and looked at Chris and under her breath said, "Wow!"<br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TOn7hzl2sNI/AAAAAAAABFg/1uWZrfkU0Hw/s1600/October%2B2010%2B%2BBathtime%2B138.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542237374659342546" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TOn7hzl2sNI/AAAAAAAABFg/1uWZrfkU0Hw/s400/October%2B2010%2B%2BBathtime%2B138.JPG" /></a> These silly glasses were in her bag of goodies.

The weather couldn't be any better, so we decided to go to the zoo again. The last time we went to the Fort Worth zoo was last fall. That was not the best trip. Madeline was in a mood that day. However, today was wonderful.<br /><br /><br /><br />The best thing about the zoo this time was that Madeline is starting to actually notice the animals. In the past, it was all about the rocks, trees, and water. Well...she's still focusing on the water, but now she likes certain animals too.<br /><br /><br /><br />Her favorites were the wambats and giraffe. She's still obsessed with giraffes right now and carries her stuffed one everywhere with her, included to bed at night.Madelinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14920381540277304978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-60161821154143312.post-35184500534067520252010-09-04T17:49:00.003-05:002010-11-21T22:01:30.493-06:00SpeechMadeline was revisited by the speech therapist. Actually, there were three. When she was 18 months, they said give it time and she didn't qualify. This time, at 28 months, they looked at each other with surprised faces and said they have never seen a child speak that way. Hmmm? Should we be worried? She seems to drop the first consonant and take the ending sound and put it on the beginning of the word. (i.e. gog, tat, kark for dog, cat park)<br /><br /><br /><br />So, Maddie has qualified for speech for atypical articulation and will be visited by a speech therapist every week. She loves it so far. It's mostly play time and fun for her.<br /><br /><br /><br />Our first homework assignment was practicing saying her name in the mirror. Unfortunately, I messed things up. I was trying to emphasize the L sound and told her to stick out her tongue to say Line in Madeline. Now she says her entire name with her tongue sticking out. Good grief!Madelinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14920381540277304978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-60161821154143312.post-76588161646066308362010-07-19T14:59:00.005-05:002010-07-25T22:43:25.970-05:00Animal Park<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TESyswgrkjI/AAAAAAAABCc/SHWF8uQIcc0/s1600/DSC00859.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495713927304811058" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TESyswgrkjI/AAAAAAAABCc/SHWF8uQIcc0/s400/DSC00859.JPG" /></a><br />We went to Okalahoma to visit the animal park.

She was REALLY into the giraffes (affs) and wanted a stuffed one. However, there were 4 different options. It was funny watching her try to negotiate getting them all with Daddy. When he said just one she said 3. Again, NO! Maddie's response was to hand me one and hand Chris one and she held one. She's smart. She did have one giraffe. She never noticed us put the others back and you can tell from the picture she was thrilled.

This is definately Madeline's favorite summer activity. It's so fun to watch her have so much fun! She loves running around with the other kids too. I'm really proud of how well she shares her toys. She brought a bucket, tea kettle and a truck and the kids kept asking if they could play with them and she would share nicely with them...most of the time! <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TESqwjGOQBI/AAAAAAAAA_0/dYnlsMirm6U/s1600/DSC00876.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495705196330631186" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TESqwjGOQBI/AAAAAAAAA_0/dYnlsMirm6U/s400/DSC00876.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TESqf-YzsmI/AAAAAAAAA_s/_pyyAVu0KFc/s1600/DSC00873.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495704911598563938" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TESqf-YzsmI/AAAAAAAAA_s/_pyyAVu0KFc/s400/DSC00873.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TESqffCXKkI/AAAAAAAAA_k/y9Zhap0llgM/s1600/DSC00872.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495704903182920258" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TESqffCXKkI/AAAAAAAAA_k/y9Zhap0llgM/s400/DSC00872.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TESqfOWZGrI/AAAAAAAAA_c/VtYBClPZDDo/s1600/DSC00874.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495704898703530674" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TESqfOWZGrI/AAAAAAAAA_c/VtYBClPZDDo/s400/DSC00874.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TESqeyjnt9I/AAAAAAAAA_U/UByBMiCHLXA/s1600/DSC00806.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495704891242821586" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TESqeyjnt9I/AAAAAAAAA_U/UByBMiCHLXA/s400/DSC00806.JPG" /></a> She was actually attempting to squirt me!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TESqeYugm7I/AAAAAAAAA_M/VQVbeJG4MSQ/s1600/DSC00802.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495704884309171122" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TESqeYugm7I/AAAAAAAAA_M/VQVbeJG4MSQ/s400/DSC00802.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Madelinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14920381540277304978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-60161821154143312.post-30302243044961899932010-07-19T14:26:00.007-05:002010-07-20T13:38:24.305-05:00Nanna and Poppa<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TESo8GDTd2I/AAAAAAAAA_E/MnWhwPGOAi0/s1600/DSC00786.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495703195668936546" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TESo8GDTd2I/AAAAAAAAA_E/MnWhwPGOAi0/s400/DSC00786.JPG" /></a> The picture below is when Madeline tackled Poppa from behind and knocked him to the floor.

We've been having a blast swimming, going to splash parks, and having fun in the sun. Madeline's already getting more tan than mommy. Okay, that's not hard to do, but it is so cute to see her with a tan line. No burns yet, mommy makes sure to pack on the sunblock. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TCuXCZkAuXI/AAAAAAAAA60/VDQyom_O7wc/s1600/DSC00687.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488646638358542706" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TCuXCZkAuXI/AAAAAAAAA60/VDQyom_O7wc/s400/DSC00687.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TCuXBivePKI/AAAAAAAAA6s/TJgLxQvMF8U/s1600/DSC00682.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488646623642664098" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TCuXBivePKI/AAAAAAAAA6s/TJgLxQvMF8U/s400/DSC00682.JPG" /></a> We always start with a hat, but it gets pulled off within minutes.

I love being home with Maddie and I'm so thankful to have the whole summer off. Madeline loves being outside and would go out all day if it were up to her. The Texas heat keeps us indoors most of the day, but we try to get out in the morning and early evening. </div></div></div></div>Madelinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14920381540277304978noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-60161821154143312.post-37881440155143737962010-06-17T15:03:00.014-05:002010-07-19T13:50:42.797-05:00Talking...Sort of !<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TBqC-b4hZ_I/AAAAAAAAA6M/GvNo1d5WO_Q/s1600/TKN_040310_1322-1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483839505425328114" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4UoipOcvWjw/TBqC-b4hZ_I/AAAAAAAAA6M/GvNo1d5WO_Q/s400/TKN_040310_1322-1.jpg" /></a><br /><p>Madeline has been talking a lot lately. Well...only Chris and I can understand her, but nonetheless, she's talking. </p><p>I just put her down for her nap and she's in her crib talking away to her bunny. It sounds like she's telling Bunny about all the pictures on the wall because I can hear her say, "Mommy, Daddy, baby, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">numnums</span> (food) and "<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">guggug</span>" (ladybug) . </p><p>In between the chatting she is humming and singing, which is a constant with her. Music is <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">definitely</span> important to Madeline. She is always singing something or asking for music to be turned on. She loves to break out her dance moves in the middle of the store too. The bigger the audience the better! It's really funny when she's in the mall. When she goes past a store with techno music playing she gets down with her bad self. I think we should carry a tip cup with us. </p><p>Things Maddie says...</p><p>Oh, man! ooze on (shoes are on)</p><p>No <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">waaaay</span>!! <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">wawa</span> ark mow (water park now?)</p><p>No mommy (her favorite) <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Awwwwww</span>!

Chris put Madeline to bed for a nap and she went down easily, as usual. A few minutes later, he heard the stair gate shaking and thought it was me. Actually, it was Maddie. She climbed out of her crib! We asked her to show us how she did it and put her back in. She swings one leg over the side, pulls over, hangs down and lets go. Big girl bed is around the corner. Our baby is growing up too fast!
