Big Day!

The minute I found out I was pregnant I was elated at watching Maddy's reactions on this journey. When I scheduled my BIG ultrasound I couldn't wait to tell Maddy she was coming. Yesterday, the day finally arrived...

 Maddy took over as photographer....

And and here is Maddy's new baby brother, saying hi.

As long as there will be dinner...

Nana: Maddy, how about in a few weeks just you and I go for a trip to the mall and go shopping?

Maddy: ......and dinner?


That's my girl.

Someone is excited....

We found a great deal on a baby swing this past weekend, and after it was in the house for no more than 5 minutes I walked in and found this...

She is more ready than I am!

Sentences

Yesterday as Maddy and I were driving to school I heard the best thing come from her little voice... "mom, she is walking her dog". Now to many moms, this would be a typical occurrence and something you might not even hear after the thousands of words and sentences their preschooler has spoken... BUT, this was Maddy's first FULL sentence. With tears in my eyes I told her that yes, she is walking her dog sweetheart.

Putting Maddy into a speech program has changed her communication ten-fold. I couldn't be more proud of my little girl.

The Fair

Saturday morning we packed up the car and headed to the fair... and I didn't get any pictures because it was so hot! LOL

Star Wars

Star Wars themed day at school... guess who Maddy went as :)

Conversations in the Car

As Ray is driving his girls to a nice, surprise supper out this is the conversation that transpires in the car:


Mom (aka me): Maddy, you have to go in the pool next week honey. You'll have fun, just like you had fun today.

Maddy: nah

Mom: You sound just like Daddy.

Maddy: Well, you smell like Daddy.


Poor Daddy.
