A New Perspective



I finally broke down and turned Maddie's car seat around. I've been considering it for a while but just wasn't quite ready yet. As you can see from the above picture she loved it! She's always enjoyed looking out the window and I'm sure she will enjoy it even more now. I've now just got to break the habit of looking into the rear view mirror to see her reflection in the back seat mirror.

6 weeks!!!

Has it really been that long since I blogged?! Sorry folks for slacking off the last few weeks. We have been super busy with wedding planning though and have finally gotten all the invitations out and will have the rehearsal dinner invites done by Monday. We also went yesterday for our cake tasting (yummy!) and decided on the flavors and style for our cake. It's hard to believe we only have about six weeks left until the wedding!

I also can't believe what a "little Girl" Maddie is these days! I think she learns a new word almost everyday and her favorite one recently is "NO". As much as we tried to keep from using this with her a lot I think she learned it from daycare and now says it all the time. Other new ones are "yey-yow" yellow, "burpurl" purple, "melmo" both elmo and nemo, "wa wa" water. And she is now starting to form short sentences too.

We've also had some successes on the eating front. The other night at home she had a few brussel sprouts and pieces of grilled chicken off my plate. We went out to eat last night and Maddie enjoyed some pasta in a lemon butter sauce. (and the kid also ate grilled calamari but wouldn't touch the potatoes, go figure!) She is fiercely independent when it come to feeding herself which usually makes quiet a mess. And then she also doesn't like to have her hands be dirty and prefers to have her own napkin to wipe them off.




Here she is enjoying blueberries and tea in a rare moment when Pepper was not home and she could site on the floor and eat without worrying about losing her snack.
