21 months old


Our little girl turned 21 months old today! She is continuing to talk up a storm and is starting to amaze us with some of the information she has to share. I was getting her dressed the other morning and she said "I naked Mommy". As soon as I put her shirt on she said "I not naked anymore"! The other night while driving she saw the moon "See the moon it's far away in sky". She is also starting to really have a memory. The last time we were at Target she saw this singing Snoopy that she played with. The next time her and Brian pulled into the parking lot she yelled "I go to the Snoopy store?". IGA is referred to as the banana store and when we walked into Build a Bear she asked "I have a heart?", the last time she was in a Build a Bear was October!
Maddy came down with her second case of strep throat this month. When she started running a fever and acting crabby I was so afraid it was her ears again. Doc looked in both and said they looked good. He barely had her mouth opened when he said "throat". Unfortunately she looks like she is going to have the same bad luck with strep that I have!
Maddy is enjoying all the Christmas around us. She loves her Christmas (which is our tree) and likes us to turn on the lights. She has been very good about the presents underneath. She does cry "no my Christmas" when we vacuum up the dropped needles. I'm not sure if she thinks the whole tree is going or what.
Maddy is getting to be a pro at her big girl cup but jumping might take awhile. She is growing fast and it won't be long before I am forced to refer to her by years of age instead of months which makes my heart a little sad. Our lives have been so wonderful since Maddy came into our lives. We look forward to watching her learn new things and grow but maybe just a little bit slower.

Boy is it hard to watch them grow up....but the fun has only just begun. Byron and I laugh almost everyday at the things that the girls say and do. On the days that we do look back at old pictures and video the memories make us smile...Simple JOY!!!
