Maddy is still growing at a rapid rate. She gained a pound and an inch this past month. She is now 36 inches tall and 29 pounds. Maddy and Debbie did some baking together this month. We made heart shaped cookies with pink royal icing on them. Then we had fun baking and decorating cupcakes for Valentines Day. Madeline is such a good helper in the kitchen. She even helps unload the dishwasher already! Her favorite task is "mixing" eggs. If a recipe needs a whisked egg, she will always be ready with whisk in hand.
Maddy keeps trying to ride her trike from Grandma Huseby, but still can't quite push the pedals hard enough to move herself. She had "Ants on a Log" for snack for the first time this month and loved them. She also received a new toy this month. We bought her a "Bounce a Lean" which is an inflatable trampoline with walls. She has really been enthralled with it. It is so good for her to exercise on and release some energy. It has been a much needed source of entertainment in late winter. As an additional note from last month, Maddy still loves her twin bed. She has adapted wonderfully to it and is content to stay in it which is a huge relief to us.
We hope the luck of the Irish comes to your household in the form of whatever you wish for the most. We are still hoping for warmer weather and a sale of the house that Grandma Huseby vacated. The market here is slowly recovering and sales usually increase as the spring weather brings the snowbirds back to our area. Happy St. Patrick's Day from the O'Huseby's!
