Maddy is now 35" tall and 28 pounds. She can get into many new things vertically that were challenging before her growth spurt. On New Year's Eve, Maddy stayed up until midnight to bring in 2011. She had her own fancy glass filled with apple juice and toasted with everyone yelling Happy New Year! She also helped Grandpa celebrate his birthday. Anytime she sees a lit candle she has to blow it out and Grandpa's birthday cake was no exception. One thing is for sure; the girl LOVES chocolate! She ate a huge slice of birthday cake. On another day, she tried chocolate mousse for the 1st time and licked the bowl clean. Wow! I guess apples really don't "fall too far from the tree". Tee hee. Besides singing "Happy Birthday", she serenades us often with favorites like, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", "Rock a by Baby", "Where is Thumbkin", and the quintessential, "Alphabet Song". She even knows the Edelweiss song from the "Sound of Music". The big news this month is that Maddy moved from her crib to a twin sized bed on Sunday, January 30th. She calls it her big girl bed. She hasn't tried to get out of it yet, but we placed a baby gate at her doorway so she can't roam around the house at night. She jumps on it and laughs when we tell her, no more monkeys jumping on the bed. The move has been a really positive experience for her so fingers crossed that it stays that way.
We are busy getting our Valentines ready for Valentine's Day. We hope you have a happy heart day and can feel the love we send to you. XOXO's too!
