Counting

A couple of days ago Madison way playing a counting game online that teaches numbers up to twenty. She was doing very well repeating all the numbers while playing. That night while taking her bath she started counting on her own. It sounded a bit like this: two, three, four, three, four, five, four, three, three, three, three, three, SEVEN!! That was after only half an hour, imagine what she could do with a little more time. Even now as I am writing this Madison is on my lap counting, two, nine, ten, two, nine, ten, two, nine, ten. She is so smart.

We went to Disneyland on Saturday, I had two comp tickets that were about to expire. Madison loved it. She got to meet all the princesses, and even got a private meet and greet with Aurora and Cinderella. Aurora was one of my really good friends, and was very excited to see us.
We went on Pirates of the Caribbean, which Madison loved. My dare devil girl loved the drops and wanted to do it again.
With Madison and my big belly there wasn't a whole lot to do, but we enjoyed a couple of rides, some shows, and the atmosphere. We were only there for part of the day, but it was fun to go back and see so many friends.





We just started unpacking our christmas things so Madison decided she was going to wear her santa hat.

I had a doctors appointment yesterday, so Madison did not get her normal nap. Around 5:oo she was playing with the dvds and got so tired she fell asleep right where she was. Lucky for her I was cleaning out my room so all my pillows and bedding were right in front of the dvds.

This last weekend we went up to my parents house to celebrate Thanksgiving. While we were in Victorville I got my dad to take family pictures of us. It has probably been over a year since we have done pictures, and I wanted some of me pregnant. Madison was a little hesitant with such uneven ground, but towards the end she got used to it.

At the Zoo

If you were almost two and saw this animal what would you think, and do?




How about sticking your hand it its mouth and feeding it?





Madison truly has no fear.

All by my-self

Madison has been trying to be self-sufficient lately. She is constantly finding shirts and putting them on her-self. When she finds mommy or daddy's shirt she dose very well at getting it on properly. However when she gets her hands on one of her own it causes problems.

Trick- or- Treat

For Halloween I made Madison a beautiful Princess. She loved wearing her dress and twirling around. However when it came down to it she would only wear the hat for a few minutes before she wanted it off. It remained a constant struggle all night.







Wayne wanted to dress- up and have fun this year so we went to the costume shop to look around to help get ideas for a costume. He decided to go as Benjamin Franklin. The costumes in the shop were very cheesy looking so we decided I would make the costume. Since I had already made Madison's dress I was pretty confident I could do it. I had never taken on a project this big or extensive, but I was willing to try. Wayne also won second place in the costume contest at work.





I went easy this year. With a big baby belly there is only so much one can do. I found a beautiful witches hat at Target and so my costume began. I bought the black dress and a purple ribbon to tie around and match the hat. I them made the gloves to add some pizazz.
