Two Years Old

Wow! Today Madison turned two years old. At two years old, Madison is a loving, sweet, funny, intelligent little girl. Her vocabulary is through the roof and she is speaking in three to four word sentences. Signing the ABC's is one of her favorite things and just recently she started counting from 1 to 10. She still loves playing with her blocks and cooking in her kitchen that she got for Christmas. Her puppy, Buddy, is one of her best friends and they play all the time. She is still sleeping in her crib, and at this point we are in no hurry to put her into a toddler bed. She has yet to attempt to escape, so why mess with a good thing. She is still an awesome sleeper, going down around 8:00pm and having to be woken up at 6:30am during the week, and often sleeping until 8:30 or sometimes 9:00 on the weekends! Score for Mommy and Daddy on that one! She is still a very picky eater, which can be a challenge! Her diet consists of pasta, chicken fingers, milk, french fries, ice cream, carrots, peas, and any kind of fresh fruit. Right now, Bananas are her favorite. She is not potty trained yet, but we are moving in the right direction with that one. She has used the potty a few times, but hasn't really shown a real interest so I am not going to push the issues. Her favorite place right now is Chuckie Cheese. She would go there every day if we would take her. She also is really into chapstick right now and actually has a purse full of it. Her favorite shows right now are Tom and Jerry and still Yo Gabba Gabba. She can name all of the characters and has each character that she sleeps with in her crib. She is a stubborn little girl, knowing exactly what she wants and wants to do it by herself. We definitely have our moments, but I wouldn't trade them for the world. She can put a smile on your face no matter what she is doing!

Today to celebrate on her actual birthday we headed to lunch at Dave and Busters. She had a blast playing all of the games and actually won 1,000 tickets on the frogger game. That is the second time she has done that! We had a nice lunch, played a few more games and then came home for a nap. When she woke up she played a little and then we headed to dinner with Aunt Rachel and Uncle Ryan to her other favorite restaurant, The Moo (Harry Buffalo). She had some pasta (of course) and had a bowl of ice cream.

These past two years have flown! I can't wait to see what two has in store for us. We love you Madison!!! Happy Second Birthday sweet girl!!
