Whoooosh

That is the speed at which my life is going lately.... whoosh.
Maddy has grown more talkative than ever! She sings Row, Row, Row Your Boat, and asks for "Papa" all the time. She has such a personality.

For a daily funny this is my offering.
Background info: Every time I pay a bill online, by check, etc I send an email to Ray to balance the books. Since I do not want to bog down his work email he set-up a home account -in Maddy's name.- I get a chuckle every time I send bill info, because in the "to" box is Madelyn.

Here is today's email:

Hello Baby Maddy :)
Mommy paid the cable bill… Wahoo! We get to keep Justin Beiber, cause we know you’ve got the fever!
I love you :)

Birthdays... Halloween... and everything in between

Happy Birthday to my little sunshine.

It won't be like this for long.

I'll have a two year old soon... she might as well be 18.

No longer a baby, but still my little girl.

At night before dada gets home Maddy and I snuggle on the couch and watch the Food Network channel.

She repeats her favorite words of the day while I look at her and study all those little features.

She has the most perfect nutshell eyes, the heaviest little pair of cheeks, and a button nose.

Being her mom is easy-- she makes it a dream I never knew would come true.

Love You

I love you to the moon and back.

Toddlers will be Toddlers

I'm going to take a quick snapshot of time... this is what my little bumble-bee is doing.
1) When did your toddler start walking by himself? Just about 17 months, although I'm pretty sure she strolled around the house while we slept.
2) If breastfeeding, how long do you plan on breastfeeding? This obviously does not apply to me... She's been eating hamburgers for awhile now!
3) At what age did you begin potty training? Hahaha... She does not even know where the bathroom is. We will wait until she starts even looking in that direction.
4) At what age did you finish potty training? Not Applicable
5) Where does your toddler sleep? In her crib... very sweetly.
6) When did you move your child to a toddler bed? I feel like we just moved her to the crib. :) I guess when she starts crawling out on her own we'll have to move forward with a toddler bed.
7) How much milk does your toddler drink? 3 cups a day... sometimes it is chocolate :)
8) Is your toddler sleeping through the night? Most of the time... unless she feels icky.
9) When did your toddler stop using a bottle? Shhhh... I'll tell you a secret... sometimes her dada gives her one in the morning. BUT, other than that... no bubbas.
10) How many words (besides mama/dada) did your toddler know at 18 months?
I have honestly never counted. She says mama, dada, meemee, Papa, all done, up... the normal stuff.
11) When did your toddler give up sucking on his thumb or pacifier? At birth... We would hold the binky in her mouth to see if she'd "grasp" it... never liked it. We pleaded... still didn't want it.
12) When do you plan on changing to low fat milk? Already have.
13) How many children do you have? Just my moogie.
14) How many children do you want to have? No idea, although one works really well right now.
15) Did you have to deal with the terrible two's? We are just entering the arena, Maddy is saddling up.
16) Does your toddler bite (or hit, scratch, etc.)? No she's pretty low-key... we fond out yesterday though that she grinds her teeth...

That was fun!
