Maddie Update!

I never really blogged about Maddie's second birthday! Since we were so crazy during her actual birthday we finally celebrated it two weeks later! She had a fun little birthday party with her cousin Jake who is just one week older than her. He lives in Albuquerque, NM and was here visiting with Jalynn & Brooke. She has been obsessed with this outfit that she has from Gymboree with frogs on it. (the cute frog is from grandma baldwin) So I decided to have a frog themed birthday. (Nothing big just a frog cake, some frog presents, and green plates, cups & napkins) We had a big barbeque at Aunt Becky's and then we had cake and presents. She got some fun toys and some real frogs from Aunt Temple and her kids. (here she is looking at her new present) At first Maddie was really scared of them, but then she really liked them and always wanted to hold them. We had them for about five days and then we let them go when we went camping the following weekend. Some fun things about Maddie at age two!

Loves to play with any of her siblings no matter what toys they have. (She doesn't really have many toddler toys because she just loves the pollys) She's a big time snacker and occasionally eats a well balanced meal. She loves to carry her snacks around in a ziploc bag. It keeps her entertained throughout sacrament meeting. She still rarely goes to anyone but our her siblings, parents, and Michelle at the gym daycare. At home she let's you know when she wants something by her high pitched scream! And pretty much I tell everyone "Just give her what she wants" (you can tell that she's #5) She LOVES to read books and will want me to read about 25 books at nap time and bedtime. I'm not sure how much she weighs because she hasn't been to her 2 year well baby check yet but I think she's around 28 pounds (just two pounds lighter than Brinley) She's talking a lot more and loves to dance and flip around. She's always going to be my baby but she's growing up so fast I can't stand it! We all just love her to pieces and still fight over her. We love our little Maddie!
