What am I wearing mom?

This morning, I put Maddy in a cute little floral outfit this morning - one of Reagan's old purple onsie things. She has been so curious about the outfit since she got it on. She keeps looking at the flowers and pulling at her shirt. So curious.

Having fun with Maddy

Maddy's tubes have made a huge difference in her personality, voice and mood. She is always talking (again), super happy (again) and so playful. This morning, I went upstairs because I heard her talking in her bed. She was gabbing and laughing out loud. I peeked in and she lit up so fast. Her feet were up by her face and she was playing with her blanket. So cute.

I got her out and she kicked and laughed some more. I put her down on the changing table and she just kicked and laughed some more. When I fed her, she played with me. She'd eat for a bit and then look up and smile. She wanted to play.

We actually had a conversation. She'd growl at me and look up. I'd make a noise back. We did that about ten times before I just started laughing with her. So cute.

Now we're sitting in the living room on her play mat. I pulled four toys out of her bin and left to make coffee. I came back a few minutes later and found about 20 toys pulled out in front of her and her pulling the bin over looking for yet another toy.

A fort in my living room

While I was feeding Maddy in the bedroom, Jordan and Reagan decided to build a fort with all the blankets and towels in our house. They used the back of the couch, three chairs and a ton of imagination to build this thing. It's HUGE...and just large enough to hold the dog bed and all the contents of Reagan's room. Literally. I think she brought all of her stuffed animals from her room into that fort and played all afternoon and evening. So fun. I decided to leave it up through dinner, even though two of us had to stand because of it. How can I take it down? She had so much fun in it.

Time to get the walker out

Maddy is getting so big. I think we've actually done things a tad slower with her because I'm not home with her. But today, we got out the walker for her. We decided that we were actually going to take down the swing in the living room - we never use it. She has never liked being swung back and forth much. I think it messes with her ears or something. Since we have all the moving toys out now, we are finding that it's time to put some of the other stuff away. Sniff sniff. She's getting big. :)

Miss Talkative

Reagan is SO talkative. She is using so many phrases and concepts that I am just amazed with her. She is so inquisitive and is constantly asking clarifying questions to help her finish a process. She has also picked up on my mannerisms and little sayings - she likes to copy me. Her favorites are "excuse me?" with a certain look and "shut your mouth". Whoops on that last one.

Four times in a week

Okay. We were told by the nurse at Children's that we had to take Maddy back to the doctor today because she was wheezing. Sigh. I'm so sick of being at the doctor with this kid. She's FINE! Anyway, they were convinced that she had some asthma type thing going on and she would need ongoing treatment. So Jim took her to the doctor. This makes it FOUR TIMES IN A WEEK. How ridiculous is that!? The doctor said she was fine. Jim went home happy.

The girls get new car seats

Today, we went to go purchase a new car seat for Reagan. Maddy needed to move up and so did Reagan. So we figured we'd get the new one for Reagan and just move Maddy. Reagan was so excited once she realized it was all for her. It took me and Jim about an hour to get my car moved around. We went to go run errands and when Reagan saw her new carseat, she flipped. It was cute. She loved the cubbies and the cup holder.

Maddy loved her new seat. She kept looking around and kicking her little feet like she was excited. She fell asleep promptly after we started moving. I guess she was pretty comfortable. :) Yea Maddy.
