Well it has been a long time in coming, but here is an update on Miss Maddie! She has been walking and running for the past 3 months now. She only sits still long enough to eat and draw. She loves sitting in her chair with a pen and paper. It was a surprise to us that she knew how to hold a pencil perfectly without being shown. Her favorite toy is a doll stroller that she pushes around the house carrying an assortment of things from a sauce pan to a ball. She has tried out a couple new activities lately, sledding and painting. As you can guess, sledding is her favorite... little adrenaline junky! She is getting so big. At her 1 year check up she weighed almost 22 pounds and was 32 inches tall. She currently has 11 teeth and is working on her last bottom molar. Her 1st birthday was a blast, she celebrated for about a month and got loads of presents. Her best present though was finding out that she will be getting a little brother in May. While she doesn't quite understand what that is yet she loves giving moms growing belly hugs. Although she is in a hugging and kissing phase now, which is so sweet. She is starting daycare 2 mornings a week for some kid interaction, which she craves. She will be with her best friend Sany and she is very excited about that. .
