Silly Maddie, The Baby's in Mama's Tubby

Thursday, June 5, 2014

Maddie has been such a silly goose recently! She is just way too much fun to play with and says the funniest things! I just love that when she thinks something is funny, she says, “so silly!” 

"So Silly!" 

This week, we brought the car in to get a new battery because it died on us when we were trying to leave the park one afternoon.  Thank the Lord that a mom that I knew from the library was there to rescue us! (We also were rescued again the next morning by Dave from our church who drove out to our house to jump our car out of the goodness of his heart. Have I mentioned how much I love our church and the  selfless people in it?). Anyway, we went to Car-X and there was a life-size cardboard printout of a superhero Car-X man.  Silly little Maddie repeatedly, over the course of the two hours we were waiting (::sigh::), would run up to the Car-X man and say “hi hi hi hi” and then run away. It was the cutest thing.  

Side note: we also made another trip to the petting zoo and the Children's museum over the past two weeks. 

We loved spending the time together as a family and Maddie loved the giant Lite Brite! 

Speaking of the cutest thing, Maddie takes the cake with that one, too.  She has been so cuddly and huggy and I love it so much! She thinks that in order to hug someone or something, she just simply needs to lean forward and put her head against it. She hasn’t quite figured out the arm-wrap part, yet.  So, it started with her hugging me and Phil and then it developed into her hugging Luka, the cats, her toys and stuffed animals and now all of the babies, cats and/or dogs that she sees in books, too.  She pretty much hugs everything.  Adorable!

But, I saved the best story for last! We had an ultrasound done a few weeks ago and were sent home with the DVD.  Phil and I have played it almost every night since we got it. Whenever Maddie sees the ultrasound on the TV, she runs to the screen and exclaims, “Baby! Baby!” She also will point to my tummy (i.e. “tubby” —> Maddie’s pronunciation. I try not to take offense) if we ask her where the baby is.  I am not sure how much she really understands, but we are trying to prepare her as much as possible for her sister who will arrive in October.  

Sweetness. 

That’s all for now. I just wanted to share those few little stories.
