Madeline Eva is now 37 1/4 inches tall and weighs 35 pounds. She is in size 3T, but some 4T clothing fits depending on the brand. She is growing at such a quick pace. We are ever thankful to friends and family for their generous hand-me-downs. Matt & I are in awe of her growth. She is not only growing leaps and bounds physically, but socially and mentally too. Maddy is much more adept at puzzles, self help skills like zippers, taking off shoes, brushing teeth, washing hands, etc. Coloring is more about "staying in the lines" and drawing yields more recognizable figures. She is also starting to mimic writing with zig zags and squiggles. She knows most of her letters and can spell her first name. She counts to 20, but keeps forgetting the number 13. Due to the generosity of Maddy's Uncle Dewey and Aunt Carmen, we received fresh sweet corn a plenty so Maddy learned to shuck corn like a pro. Maddy went to her first circus. She loved it, but couldn't sit through the entire performance. Luckily, there was a playground behind the circus tent which provided the rest of the evenings entertainment for her.
The campground closes on Sunday, Sept. 18th so we are getting ready to winterize everything. Maybe we can get one last boat ride in before pulling the dock, lift and boat off the lake. We also hope to visit a local orchard with Maddy before the snow flies. We hope you enjoy the fruits of autumn and look forward to jumping in leaf piles galore!
