Jay, Maddie, and I gladly spent Easter weekend at Holden Beach with our friends Smyrna, David, and Maddie's best friend Miliah. We had a great time. Maddie and Miliah had fun finding eggs filled with lip gloss rings, money, stretchy bunnies, stickers, etc. We spent two days letting the girls play on the beach. The weather was warm but windy. It didn't stop the girls from getting wet. Maddie ran in head first! Luckily we had a change of clothes near by!! Maddie really seemed to have alot of fun having Miliah there to play with. Thanks so much to my long time friend Smyrna for the invite!!!!
Maddie is learning so many more things these days. She responds when asked questions, especially if its..." go get you shoes, do you want to go outside, etc! She has really been trying to put her shoes on herself. Maybe now with the warm weather coming she will have shoes that will be easier for her. She also loves to get out her "stool" so she can see what mama and dada are doing on the kitchen counter. We bought her a new stool at the beach but she is staying faithful to the other one for the most part!!
Maddie will be starting school on Tuesday......wow! We are excited, anxious, and a little sad too because Maddie wont be seeing her Gammie and Grandaddy everyday! We all know that she will have so much fun though and really enjoy being there!
Our house has been up for sale for 29 days now and we have had lots of interest but no offers as of today. We are having an Open House tomorrow and then we will be meeting with a local builder about a house that he has already started but that really sparks our interest! Wish us luck!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend! Take care and more pictures are to come.....
Last night Maddie sat on the potty after her bath and pee pee'd!!!! Gooo Maddie! For awhile now she has been peeing shortly after getting out of the bath if we don't put on a diaper quickly, so I decided Wednesday night that Id put her on the toilet right after her bath. She sat for about a minute but nothing happened. We tried again last night, and she did it! I don't really think she is quite ready for potty training but I think we could at least continue to put her on the toilet after her bath since that is a time we know she typically goes pee.
Wish us luck!!!
Well, last time I uploaded photos for the site, I wrote down how it was done, so...I was able to add 3 new folders of pictures for your viewing pleasure!
Maddie is so super smart! Of course I think that because I am her mother but, she really is learning so many new things. Her newest thing lately is that she grabs our hand and leads us wherever she wants to go whenever she wants to. Its so cute! She also says, uh huh when asked questions. I guess thats her way of saying yes!! She also shakes her head "no" when she doesn't want something! She is very interested in the parts of the face...nose, eyes, etc and always points at them on me and Jay! She continues to love looking at books and listening to the stories with me and Jay. She is no longer the shy baby she once was. She loves visiting family and friends and mommy at KIN! She sleeps like a log and smiles for days!!!
She will be starting school on April first and we are very excited about it. It will be bitter sweet though because that means she will no longer be with her gammie and granddaddy but, she will do wonderful and have such a great time playing with the other kids.
Jay started his new job working for the UNC School of Journalism and is absolutely loves it! He has only been there 2 weeks but comes home with great things to say about it each day! I am very happy for him.
We have put our house on the market to sell. We hope to sell soon, but you just never know, really! We plan on having an Open House next Sunday to help give some attention to the house! We haven't found a replacement house yet but hope too by the time we sell ours! Wish us luck!
More to come....
