Christmas week.

We have had this Burger King crown for at least a month and a half and she still loves it!

Sliding down backwards is more fun!

Playing at the mall playground.

Maddie slept through the night in her toddler bed last night without getting up and roaming the house so we took her to the candy store today to celebrate!
This is what she looked like after all her candy!


Just relaxing!

She got in our shower and got body wash and rags and is cleaning;)

Finishing up some of her blueberry jelly bellys at her picnic table.

Decided to sit in her house with her candy.

Whee!

I caught her reading in her bed.

She's saying "HOT!"

Maddie has started saying "Bless You" when you cough or sneeze.

One evening she put one of her bears in her high chair and pushed it up to the table and told it to "EAT!" Guess she's heard that a few times. A few minutes later it was a party, because there were 2 bears and a dog at the kitchen table in their own chairs.

This tree is gonna have to come down on Wednesday if Maddie doesn't knock it over before then...

We gave Maddie an early Christmas present to get her to leave the tree alone and I would say she liked Mrs Potato Head!

Merry Christmas Eve!

Building blocks with her shades on:)

She let me paint her piggies.

She put on my ear warmers.
We were on our way to have Chick fila with Daddy for a Christmas Eve lunch.

Heading to the Christmas Eve service at church.

After church we drove around and looked at Christmas lights then came home and had Papa Johns pizza.

Santa came and all was ready!

The before

During

And after

It took a hour and 20 minutes for her to get all her gifts open with lots of help!

Maddie is one very loved little girl!

Happy Birthday Jesus!

Playing with her Doodle Pro from Papaw and saying "CHEESE!"

Watching The Cat in the Hat Christmas special.

Running circles around her toy room in the bubbles.

I had to work a couple of evenings this week and this is all Maddie wants to do in the morning for at least an hour and I am ok with that!:)

Bubbles!

Helping mommy pack...not so much!

Looking in her mirrors saying "CHEESE!"

Watching the snow. Our 1st for the season. It was just enough to cover the ground.

She is holding up her Daddy's iPhone saying "CHEESE!" like she is taking her picture.

Watching Pocahontas.

Santa Claus is coming to town!

Maddie spent the weekend with Daddy while I worked.

Maddie crawled up in our bed and got my pillow and daddy's blanket and was relaxing.

Waiting in the driveway on Santa to come through the neighborhood on the Fire Truck.

She wasn't afraid of Santa at all!

Playing on the outside toys at the mall.

Maddie followed her new little friend all over the play area.

Mommy NO! No pictures;)

Having her 1st candy cane.

How did she know to take the Oreo apart and eat the center 1st?

Licking the beaters after Mommy made Oreo balls.

Throwing her Ole Miss ball to make it make noise.

Watching Home Alone:)

Just hanging out under the tree with the cat.

Me and my sweet girl with her bear and penguin hat from her great granny.

Brushing her teeth in Daddy's sink.

Putting on Daddy's deodorant.

CHEESE!

20 months

You are 20 months old.
I think you still weigh about 27 pounds.
You are wearing size 4/5 diaper.
You are wearing 18-24 month and 2T pants and 2T and 3T shirts.
You are wearing size 6 shoe.
You are learning new words fast! Your newest is Awesome! Daddy taught you that one and you hold your thumbs up when you say it.
You are not eating as much as you had been and you only like certain things now.
You like to give kisses, hugs and pat me on the back.
You have learned airplane and will point one out when you see it.
You are doing well in your toddler bed. You have started waking up at 6 pretty much every morning and getting up in the middle of the night. You go to bed and take naps easily. Your naps are only 1 hour now.

Santa Claus.

This girl is getting so big! Daddy had a tournament last weekend so we went to watch. Last year at this tournament Maddie was barely crawling and this time she ran all over and crawled on bleachers and was just busy!

Taking a break in her stroller having a apple.

Visiting Santa Claus.

When we got there the machine was broken so Santa did a short story time. We sat and listened for a while then we went and ate pizza and when we came back to see him I had to sit with her to get a picture.

Mommy worked late on Monday night, so Tuesday morning we took it easy and had some TV time.

Playing dress up with mommys jewelry.

Having some early morning snuggles. I worked until 11 a couple of nights this week and Maddie likes to wake up at 6am so we watched a little TV until mommy could get awake enough to function.

This is how I got dressed on one morning this week and how I do most days!

Then while I was in the shower one morning Maddie took it upon herself to get on the counter by herself. Monkey!

Having lunch. She insisted on having the tray table to her high chair, then she are all her lunch! Growing up too fast!

Christmas is coming...

One day last week I was sitting in the floor crying and Maddie just came over and gave me a big hug! I just love her!

She is saying CHEESE quickly for the camera before swim class.

Saturday afternoon she had her leg up on the top of the front of her crib and then later in the afternoon she climbed her changing table and it toppled over. So we went from baby bed to...

Toddler bed. She loved it! Was sitting in her bed laughing and reading books.

When bedtime came she was so tired she went right to sleep.

She rolled off once in the night but over all did well.

Naptime was fun! It required a spanking and being put back in bed. She went to sleep after that. I call that success!

I asked for a picture before church Sunday morning and this was the face I got.

So I snuck in a picture while she was giving Jack treats.:)

She had to have pizza like mommy at lunch.:)

Our cat making sure everything is ok in the neighborhood;)

Maddie and bear sitting in the recliner getting ready to watch a Christmas movie.

It's a good movie!:)

I have had a sinus infection this week, so Maddie watched lots of TV! Here she is watching Toy Story!

She decided mid day on Tuesday she was going to open her Christmas book early!

This is the only time I let her stand in a chair and she takes full advantage of it. This is how I get things done in the kitchen.

Being a big girl and eating dinner without a high chair.

Since going to her toddler bed, she likes to wake up at 6 am or earlier. YIKES! So we watch earlier morning cartoons, up close and personal!

School wore her out, we barely got out of the parking lot.

Having a afternoon picnic.

I am not responsible for my daughter wearing my panties around her neck as a scarf. Makes me laugh though!
