Wish list Wednesday

We've finally gotten Maddie's play area complete. I am so excited and I am going to post some pictures of it in the next couple days when I get around to it. I ordered an alphabet foam play mat from One Step Ahead that I can't wait to put down.

I also need to get some sort of book case and I don't know what I want yet. This one also from OSA is really cute. I think I am going to look at Home Goods to see if there is anything there on sale that is more unique and cheaper.

She loves the new area with all of her toys and it finally gets them all out of our family room. She now has access to the whole house as opposed to the gate keeping her in the family room since she can now go down the step between it and our kitchen safely. Now... just to get locks for the cabinet with her snacks in them. I think IKEA sells ones that work perfectly with the kitchen cabinets we have from them.

Wish list Wednesday (a day late)

Easter is fast approaching and I still haven't gotten Maddie an easter basket. I have been coveting this one from Pottery Barn Kids since last year, but didn't but it because who gives a 7 month old Easter Candy, not me! I think I might wait until next year until she can be a bit gentler with her belongings, but I still like to look! Pottery barn kids has all sorts of cute things. I've also been eyeing their toddler bedding sets for when Maddie starts sleeping in her toddler bed. The Brooke, Sweet Lambie and the Daisy garden Sets are so cute!

No mommy

Maddie's favorite word right now is no... no mommy.... no no no..... no more. She is starting to show signs of the terrible twos. Getting frustrated when she doesn't get her way, stomping her feet, crying and whining. We have 18 month appointment tommorow. Here are a few pics from the past week or two. We got alot of snow in the past week and Maddie actually liked it this time. The last snow I brought her out and she hated it. We stayed home two days and she was dying to get out of the house by the end of it.

DJ is putting in laminant flooring in our living room and spray painted the floor before putting it down :-)

18 months old

Maddie is almost 18 months old and so much fun! Her new words are uh-oh, carrots, strawberries ( or berrrrrries) emphasis on the Rs, kitty gagas are cats, among many others. Her favorites are still her pooh, tigger and cookie monster stuffed animals that must be in the crib when she goes "nigh nigh". She gives us and everything else kisses and is so funny. She still loves her paci or as she calls it "deh" for nap and bed time. I am the luckiest mom alive that she sleeps from 6 pm - 6 am and a 2 1/2 hour nap as well. Her favorite food right now is strawberries. Here are some recent pics of little miss. We have her 18 month doctor's appointment next week so I will update with her stats then.

Picture year in review

I thought it would be fun to post my favorite pic from every month in 2009. She has grown so much. Enjoy!

Christmas!

Maddie had a wonderful christmas. She got lots of toys like Elmo's restaurant, puzzles, stacking and shape sorting toys, books, and lots of other great things. She had a good time opening presents, spending time with family and eating lots of christmas cookies.
