Another Update

Since we talked last, I had just moved into my toddler bed...still going well. Now days we have moved into Fall. You know what that means?!

Halloween:

Here I am as a scarecrow...not so scary.

Now that is scary!

It was a pretty warm Fall, so we did a lot of playing in the park:

Peek-A-Boo!

And, in my backyard:

Here I am, pushing my BFF Abby in the swing!

It's also the season for baking:

Big Helper Madeline! Look at me go! I think that's a nervous smile on Mommy's face.

Fall is coming to an end and it's almost Christmas time!!:

Decorating the tree!

Decorating Me!

And watching the lights do their job!

Did I mention, it's the season for baking?!?!

Big Helper

It's been a while since you have seen me...I know, talk to my Mommy....Anyways, since my last post there have been some changes....I've kind of turned into a 'big girl'.

I've been helping out around the kitchen more:

Helping Daddy with the plumbing:

Picking up Daddy's shoes when he leaves them out:

....and I helped my Daddy put together my....

BIG GIRL BED!!!!

That's right folks...I'm officially NOT a baby anymore!!

(Mommy is tearing up...)

PEE!

So there I was....doing my thing, getting ready for beddy. All 3 of us in my room and Mommy changing my diaper. 'What's this? A dry diaper? That's strange!' My Mama exclaims. That's right, I hadn't filled my diaper over a long period of time. Mommy asked me the same question she has often asked over the last month; 'Do you want to potty in the big girl potty?'....BUT WAIT...what's that feeling?....uh, I feel I better get up and make way to the bathroom, or we are going to be using up a bottle of Resolve in my room! Daddy walks me to the big girl potty and to their....and my suprise.....a sound of running water echos in the otherwise quiet room!

I PEED!!!!

It was like the clouds opened up and the angels started singing...well, maybe that was just Mommy and Daddy giving me big cheers and claps. I got a sticker too! Somehow I feel this 'using the big girl potty' can work to my advantage...but, for now, I am sticking with the diapers. We'll see how long it takes before I'm all set to go for sure.

...besides...I didn't know work was involved! Here I am dumping my 'yellow stuff' down the giant 'icky' thing that mommy doesn't let me touch otherwise.

Quality Time

One of my and Daddy's favorite things to do together is sit at the computer and listen to Coldplay...they my jam!

Mommy learned that their are certain things that have too much sugar in them for me...I believe it is 10p.m. in this pic...watching Ice Age trying to relax.

Daddy can't help but to SQUEEZE me all the time...I let him...

Lovin' Mommy reading Barney...

But...Mommy reading Barney while wearing my shorts on her head...priceless!

Obey God!

I got some great stuff at our church retreat a couple of weeks ago. Some of it included a cool sword and helmet! This is my armour to protect me from bad things.

BUT, I'm more of an offensive player than a defensive player....

OBEY BABY!

(Daddy might have regreted showing me how to spank my baby doll....Maddie see, Maddie do!)

p.s. Mommy is still trying to get the video to upload so you can see me using my sword on Daddy and telling him to obey.

Busted!

So, I have this little fetish with lotion...I LOVE IT! So much, that I often find my mommy's face lotion and proceed to rub it all over my legs...no one likes itchy dry skin, right? Well, I can't resist the temptation time and time again....and time and time again, I get BUSTED!

Mommy takes me to the bathroom to wash me up, but for some reason I just can't help to want to keep rubbing the lotion on my legs....so silky smooth!

I even managed to get some of the 'face' lotion on my face! Luckily I got a bath out of this whole thing, so it was worth the time out I got! :) (Ain't I a stinka?!)

Backyard Fun!

Oh, what the summer time brings! Lots of new things to do outside! My mommy got all this cool stuff....she says it's from some place called, 'Raytown Neighborhood Curbside Trash'.

Whatev! I just enjoy playing with it all in my backyard!

First, I got a cool tricycle! Daddy's oilin' it up for me...safety first with my coooool helmet!

Then, I played in my new wagon! Check it out...I have a door!

I don't do so well pulling it myself, but Daddy enjoys taking me on tours around my yard....I had no idea that all of those brown blobs all over our yard came from Red Dog! Learn something new every day!

Then, I got this slide...which is probably the COOLEST THING EVER! Mom even lets me take it inside when I can't slide outside. I've learned lots of tricks on it, like wearing socks or sitting on a towel will make me slide faster...thanks Dad!

I can even climb the ladder all by myself!

Then, there is my swing...which has been in our family for almost 20 years!! It's about time I got to use it a little...thanks Great Grandma, Poppy and Daddy!

I love playing outside!
