Soooooo behind...
I'm a horrible blogger...I really don't have any exuses, I just forget. Until I check everyone else's cute blogs and I remember that it has been 2 months since my last post and I feel overwhelmed that I won't even be able to catch up at this point! Anywho!! Maddie is going to be 3 (oh my goodness!!) in a little over a month. UNBELIEVABLE!! She is such a funny thing. I am totally enjoying staying home with her, but it can be very exhausting...especially since she gave up naps. :(
I've been bad about keeping up with all the things she is doing, but since I'm using this as her "baby book" I'm going to try to remember a few things:
~Counts to 15 (skips 6 sometimes though, haha!)
~Knows all her letters and letter sounds
~Knows all of the "normal" colors
~Recognizes a circle, square, triangle, diamond, oval, rectangle, star
~Wants to help me with everything... and will always start with "I a good helper, Mommy" :)
~Always has to answer the phone when it rings...and instead of saying "hello", she answers with "hey!"
~Sleeps from 7:30pm-7:45-8am
~Gave up naps in August
~LOVES gymnastics...she does great with her forward roll, does a back roll by her self on a wedge. She does great on the bars, but is very hesitant on the balance beam.
~Has a FANTASTIC memory...almost too good sometimes!
~Fave foods: chicken nuggets (especially Chick a lay or Old McDonald;s ;) ), mac and cheese, bananas, blueberries, grilled cheese (anything with cheese actually!) bagels (with "green cheese" AKA cream cheese!), pancakes, and suckers!
~LOVES Ariel (the little mermaid)
~sleeps with about 10 animals/Ariels and 8 blankets every night
~can throw a temper tantrum like no other! (Oh me, oh my!) They are getting better, but she is definitely strong willed!
I feel so incredibly blessed to be her mommy. She is a daddy's girl when daddy's home, but a mommy's girl all day! The excitement she shows when she hears Chad pulling into the garage after work is the cutest thing ever! She has to run to the door and just wave non stop as he is pulling in. And, before he leaves in the morning she has to have her hug/kiss. She will make sure to reming Chad if he has forgotten his "asses" haha! (glasses)
We are looking forward to celebrating Christmas this year. It is such a fun time to spend with family and having a little one it makes everything that much more excting and special!

Fair 2011
We took Maddie to the North GA State Fair and she was so pumped about riding the rides...especially the "choo-choo" and "Nemo." Needless to say the rides would jerk a little when they would start and Maddie ended up not liking the rides at all! It was so sad, but a little funny, too. I'm the mean mom that was smiling, waving, and taking pictures while my poor baby was just crying on the ride. We only tried 2 rides and decided to just watch the other kids after that! She did get a big pink dolphin that she said would make riding the rides all better, but we decided not to chance it! ;) She loved seeing the animals and of course the food...just like mommy!
Gymnastics
Maddie has been taking gymnastics for almost 2 months now. She LOVES it! At first she was a little timid at trying some of the new obstacles, but now she is always ready to go! Her teacher is moving the class up to a 45 minute class next month b/c the girls are doing so well. Yay! She loves her teacher and classmates. Besides the physical activity they do, they also practice listening skills and following directions. This will be great for when she starts "school" next year.
