Big Sister

Maddie is going to be a big sister in December!

Spring '09 Pictures

Here are some of Maddie's professional pictures.  Frank did a great job again!  My child did NOT want to take pictures.  She was in the progress of getting a new tooth...so needless to say, she was NOT a happy camper.  It all started with her doll, Betty Sue.  We named it after Ugly Betty.  This doll looks like Maddie cut the hair, even though my child has never held scissors.  It is the ugliest doll ever.  Well just as we were about to start the pictures...Maddie saw her doll.  She grabbed it and would not let go.  I took the doll away from her and it was over.  She decided that she would show me.  She sure did.  

I thought it would be cool to take the same picture each time to see Maddie's growth throughout the years.  Maddie saw the blanket that I had on the porch for us to use in the yard and had another idea.  She would NOT let me take it either!!!!!

Maddie working on her multi-tasking skills.  She is on the phone and cooking!

She looks like she just lost her last friend!

Up to no good!

Easter '09

Happy Easter.  We went to Savannah for Easter.  Grammie and Grandpie had an Easter Egg Hunt for Maddie.  She had a great time.

Fun at School

Today we took Maddie to her "school" so she could participate in her first Easter Egg hunt.  She had a lot of fun showing Mamma and Daddy around.  She did not really get the whole idea of putting eggs into her basket.  In fact...some of the eggs opened up and jelly beans fell on the ground and she enjoyed eating the dirty jelly beans!!!!  AHHHHHH!  She will probably get worms.

20 Months Old

Maddie turned 20 months old on Saturday.  It's amazing how the time has passed.  She is so much fun now.  We laugh, sing, and play games.  Her favorite game is still Peak-a-boo.  Or as Maddie says "pee boo".  We recently started her at the Discovery Point in our neighborhood.  She loves going there.  In fact...she doesn't even cry when Kris drops her off.  Her favorite words are:  

"Melmo":  Elmo

"Petty":  Pretty

"Bebe":  Baby

"Gerkle":  Circle

"Grandpappa":  Pappa

"Yuv Ya":  Luv Ya

"Peese":  Please

"Tank you":  Thank you

"More":  More- used all the time

"Noooo":  No and Yes

"Bee Boo:"  Big Bird

"Mammie":  Maddie

"Pee Boo":  Peek-a-boo

"Key Key":  Kitty 

"Gicken":  Chicken

"Durkey":  Turkey

"Farful":  Careful

"Nana":  bananna

"Nigh nigh":  Night night

This past week we did professional pictures again.  Let's just say that it did not go as planned.  Maddie had an absolute meltdown.  Hopefully we will get some cute pics out of it!

The Piano- March 31, 2009

Here was the living room before....and here it is now!  We got a baby grand player piano.  When I showed Maddie, she looked at her piano, then looked at the big piano, then back at her piano.  Then she smiled real big! She thought it was pretty cool.
