The Huseby Post: Maddy is 19 months old

Maddy is holding steady at 23 lbs and 32 inches tall this month. She has been either sleeping or moving. It's so hard to get a good picture of a moving object! Maddy also cut 3 out of 4 eye teeth this month. The 4th tooth may be arriving soon due to the puffy, red gums in the last empty spot. She took her first swim of the season. Now all she wants to do is get into the water. The waves in the lake make foam along the shoreline. She shouts out, "Bubbles!!!" everytime she sees them. We also had enough wind and time to fly a kite. It was her first time seeing a kite fly and she REALLY loved it. Another first this month was making Monster Cookies. Needless to say, they were a hit. Maddy is a major M&M thief. She kept trying to steal the M&Ms out of the raw cookie dough. It was surprising to see how much she enjoyed all the steps from measuring and mixed to baking and of course, eating. Look out Cookie Monster- You've got competition!

Poor Maddy was ill this month. She had Roseola. It is a virus that affects most children under the age of three. Most older kids and adults have already had it so it doesn't affect them. She had a high temperature for a few days and then a rash. No doctor visit required. It just had to run its course.

We will be at the campground for 4th of July. Please stop by and see us if you're "out and about". We hope you have a safe and happy 4th of July. God bless America!
