Wow, so much has happened. So much time has past! Maddie is now 2 years and 2 months old. Can you believe it?
Maddie's vocabulary has really taken off over the last month. She like to repeat what she has heard now which, in most cases, is great! She is very independent and like to do things on her own and before others do it! She is now completely potty trained. She has been using the potty for over 2 months as been very successful with it.
We visited the family in Maryland in Early August. Maddie really enjoyed her time with Granna and Papa. She liked petting the horses and swimming in the river. It is always sad when we leave, but even more now that we have Maddie. I wish her Granna and Papa were closer!
We recently got back from Canada visiting my family. We drove the 14 hour trip in 2 days. Maddie did amazingly well handling the drive itself. She loved playing with her little cousin Landon who we stayed with while we were there. We went to the local zoo, water park by the marina, and Maddie had her first gocart ride with her daddy. She loved it and looked adorable in her safety helmet. We played putt putt and had a cook out with more of the fam'! Over all it was great and sad to leave them as well!
Maddie went for her 2 year check up today. All is well. She has actually lost weight for the first time since still being in the hospital as a new born. She got her finger pricked and didn't even make a face.
Jay and I are doing very well. We did not sell our house like we had intended. The contract fell through with the buyers so we are now back to the beginning with that but hoping for a speedy sell. Jay is not only a UNC employee but also now a UNC student. He is very excited and I am very proud and happy for him. I am taking 2 classes through the local community college hoping to get my 2 year degree in Early Childhood Education.
Overall, we have been busy but great. Maddie continues to amaze us. I am sooooo very proud of all her accomplishments! She is now in the big kid class at her school and loving it!
We will keep you all updated as we can. Take care...
