New Random Pictures...






Here are some fun pics from the past couple of months! Enjoy!

I know I'm so far behind!!

I know I know, everyone reminds me I need to update my blog! I hate to write as you all know but I love to post pictures of Mady and all her adventures! She is 19 months old now and she amazes us everyday with her knowledge! Here are some of the accomplishments so far!

1. Letters...as a teacher I am obsessed with making sure my child learns how to read and hopefully loves it as much as I do (I am into the twilight saga: new moon right now). She can recognize and say the letters A and B. We went to Babies R Us the other day and she looked up at the sign and said "A" as loud and excited as she could! She was so proud and so were we! She also recognized it and said it when she saw it on the wall in her room in her name! She also just last night saw the letter A on the back of my armada and said it while we were chatting outside with our neighbors! I have this app on my ipod touch that is just like flash cards and she loves to play with it and hear it say the letters!

2. She loves to play with Daddy! She is in love with him right now. We spent all day yesterday at the park hiking etc and she didn't want me to push the jogging stroller, she only wanted Daddy to push her. Then when we got home, Eric started pulling weeds in the frong yard and Mady jumped right in and started copying him (we didn't even ask or tell her anything). It was too cute!! I took a million pictures and will post it soon!

3. She loves to watch Yo Gabba Gabba, Dora, Caillou, and sometimes Sesame Street. She also loves to watch the Bee Movie and Finding Nemo.

4. She is eating pretty good except for veggies but she has been trying to eat some carrots a little! She is can eat hot dogs every day!

5. She is really sweet and loving and can not wait until daddy gets home each day to run and play with! She just adores him! I am truly humbled by their sweet connection! It makes me think of how special my relationship with my dad was all those years ago!

6. Imitation Queen...she loves to copy anything and everything that Eric and I do! From cooking to cleaning to weeding the yard...you name it. She tries to put on makeup like me and playing pretend in her new kitchen that nana and ganpa got for her for Valentine's Day.

7. Words - Mama, Dada, Nana, Ganpa, Milk, Bye Bye, Zoe, Kitty, nite nite, and of course her letters! She also can moo like a cow, bark like a dog, and roar like a tiger (our favorite). She knows all her body parts as well.

8. Food - she is still pretty picky but is showing more openness to try new things! she loves any and all fruit, no veggies (I sneak them in), bread, hot dogs, chicken, and all kinds of snacks. Oh, and of course cheese and yogurt!

9. School - she goes to a 2 day a week program right now and loves it! I am registering her for preschool on Thursday which she will start in August.

I will post new pictures soon I promise!
