Baby Maya

Maddie spent saturday visiting with Aunt Alissa and Baby Maya. Maddie kept pointing to Aunt Alissa's belly saying "Maya out." She wanted so badly for Maya to come out and play with her!! Maddie gave Maya Kisses and when Alissa said "you'll have to teach Maya her ABC's and 123's," Maddie went to get her ABC's, sat them on Alissa's stomach and started telling Maya her ABC's. It was hysterical!!! I also finally got a video on my phone of Maddie saying her ABC's, but I can't figure out how to get it downloaded on here. It keeps giving me error messages.....so hopefully soon!!

Lead Test results

I cannot believe that I forgot to post this after letting you all know that we had to take Maddie for a lead test and how aweful it was!! We got a call a couple of weeks ago letting us know that that the results of the test were wonderful!! Her lead level is only at a 3, which she informed us is the normal level to have in your body. I was so relieved!! Going through all that was definatly worth it for some peace of mind. With all these toys from China being recalled on top of living in an older home, I was so worried! We had also taken her to the eye doctor because she was always complaining about her right eye. We received a clean bill of health there as well. Its kind of strange too, because after the eye doctor appointment, she doesnt complain much about her eye any more.......probably because she never wants to go back there again!!! :-)



Maddie is also very excited about Aunt Alissa having a baby. She is always talking on her phone to baby Maya. I have a video recorded on my phone of her doing this, and its so cute! I wish I knew how to download it on here. I almost feel as though I get to re-live my pregnancy through Alissa......its very exciting!!!

Making Progress.....

Ok, so I know I'm really bad at updating this blog! I guess I just haven't gotten use to it yet. (Thank you Nicole for cracking the whip and making me stay on top of it) :-)

There is so much progress being made on my mom and dads house!! The picture above was just a few days ago, but it really doesnt show the house as it is. It is now completely closed in, and all windows have been installed. As of right now, the move-in date is set for April. Which then of course means that we have our own house!! :-) Dave and I are so excited about all of this, and I'm very excited to be buying the house that I grew up in! On top of all the great memories I have here as a child, Maddie (and hopefully her brother or sister.......nope, no news to report) will be able to create their own wonderful memories!

Madilyn is talking more than ever!!! She says her ABC's, only skipping over IJK and UVW. She even goes into...."now I know my ABC's, next time wont you sing with me." She is also counting 1 thru 10 and only skipping 4 and 7. I know I'm a little bias, but I think she's doing so great for being 21 months! She's growing like a weed!! She was wearing size 5 shoe, and I noticed they seemed to be getting small. I took her to get new shoes, and when they measured her feet they told me she was at the 6 1/2 mark, so she should wear a size 7!!!! WHAT ON EARTH!! I really dont think this is the same girl that only weighed 6 lbs 13 oz the day she was born......almost 2 yrs ago.
