Maddy is 39 months old

February has been a pretty unremarkable month. We received some snow, but avoided a large storm that dumped 12-18 inches of snow on parts of the state close to us. Whew! Glad we didn't get that mess, but sorry for whomever did.

Maddy's height is holding steady at 39 1/8 inches. Her weight has climbed to 38 pounds. She seems to gain weight and then gets taller. Her 4T pants are still fitting inseam wise, but she is more of a 5T around the waist now. She is also a 5T for shirts and dresses. Thanks again to those generous folks that donate clothing to our ever growing girl. We can't stress enough how very much we appreciate the hand-me-downs.

Maddy's creative juices continue to flow into her pretend play daily. She plays doctor with stuffed animals and dolls. She makes "houses" out of stacked items and blankets. She builds structures with blocks that include castles and bridges. The ultimate fantasy is playing dress-up complete with fancy dresses, jewelry, shoes and purses. The other day we put all her ponytail bands on all ten fingers and she had beautiful rings. Her imagination is fun to witness. Everyday is an adventure!

Don't forget to "spring ahead" for daylight savings time in March and luck to all on St. Patrick's Day! We'll be wearing green to avoid the dreaded pinch so we hope you do too.


Ohh la la!
