I have been seriously bad about this blogging thing lately! I could make a excuses but why waste your time! It has been almost 2 months since I have posted anything so here goes the recap of those two months!
August-
August ended up getting very busy for us because I was getting ready to go back to work after 5 months and Maddy was getting ready to start school. She has been ready to go to school since she was about a year old. My mom would bring her to my school for Baby Talk and she was always very comfortable visiting and being in a school. We spent most of the month getting together uniforms for school and me attending workshops to get ready for new curriculum at school. It was a busy busy time!
This was also the first day that grandma had to get both babies (Mason and Lyla) in the stroller and take them out to the bus too. They were so cute in their double stroller together!
September-
September came and went so quickly! Maddy has been loving school. She has learned how to write the letter M to start her name. She is learning things so quickly that I wouldn't be surprised if she is doing multiplication by the end of the school year! She really is learning much quicker than I thought she ever would. She really seems like she grows up just little bit everyday! She loves loves loves her baby brother and she is a great helper when we are getting ready in the morning. Most days she will get up on her step stool by the crib and read Mason a book. He loves her too and is always calmed by her being there. She is a great big sister and they love each other very much! I am crossing my fingers that this continues. Maddy is learning songs at school and she comes home singing them all the time. My favorite is the way she sings the "Days of the Week"! The first day she sang it for me I HAD to video tape it. Her favorite song is the turtle song.
Mason has grown and changed so much the past two months also! He is now 16 lbs. 12 oz. and 27 in long. His growth is right on track! I was worried that maybe he had gained to much because he is a GOOD eater. He is loving eating food and likes almost everything we feed to him. He has days when he just doesn't want something but then will eat it the next day. He is starting to form opinions! He has also perfected the army crawl! He drags himself all over the house just using his arms. He is going to have some big strong arms if he keeps this up much longer. He gets up on his knees sometimes so it is just a matter of time before he starts to crawl. He is also starting to help Mommy and Daddy out by holding his own bottle!
Hopefully this time it won't take me 2 MONTHS to put up another post! See you soon!
