Happy New Year!!!!

Madison and Mia stayed up late to watch the ball drop. We had non-alcoholic wine. (mainly for Mama since I'm nursing and for Madison too) Madison drank from a champagne glass, she calls it a fancy glass.

We had an amazing 2010. Looking forward to 2011.

Mia's first New Years

Merry Christmas 2010

2011-01-12T11:56:00.022-05:00

Ok Santa we are going to bed now. We put cookies and milk out for Santa and carrots for Rudolph.
Before.....
And after..... yummy that was good ;o)

Our girls in bed sleeping and we are ready for Christmas morning. So excited to see Madison's face and this is Mia's 1st Christmas.

This was a Toy Story Christmas for Madison. She wanted Santa to bring her the BIG Buzz Lightyear that is remote controlled. She also asked for the movie Toy Story 3. I also found Buzz and Woody PJ's. I am so sure she is going to want to wear those PJ's everyday....all day.

Stockings are stuffed

Santa and Rudolph are so polite, they even left Madison and Mia a thank you note.

Papa, reading Santa's note to Madison. It is the best seeing the joy in Madison's face.

She kept telling us Santa loves cookies.

IT"S CHRISTMAS MORNING!!! YEAH!!!

Madison kept saying, Look!!! Santa got me my movie!!! Toy Story 3!!!

Wow! The Big Buzz!

So just like the dinosaurs she asked for last Christmas, she wanted the Buzz this year but yet she was a bit scared of him. She would play with him but Buzz had to be on the off mode. It took several weeks but she is finally playing with him on the on mode. Silly girl.

Mia just chilled on her chair, next year you will enjoy Christmas so much more our baby girl

After we saw Santa's gifts we then did stockings

Ummmm can someone help me with my stocking?

Madison is such an amazing big sister. She wanted to help Mia with her stocking and to open Mia's presents. She would do it in front of Mia and would say "Look Mia, you got presents".

Opening presents

Madison is obsessed with Princess's, Tinkerbell, Dinosaurs, Toy Story 3 and Thomas the train.Muah!!!! Thank you Papa for everything!Cheese

Thank you Mama! After she was done opening gifts, Madison went around the room thanking Papa, Mama, and yes even Mia and Lulu. You are so sweet our Madison Rose.

Thank you Mia! Madison always ask can I kiss Mia? It is the sweetest thing.

Our response is always, of course you can, you're her big sister.

Cheese

Ok.... ok..... now can we play?!?!?!?!?!?!

We have so much fun watching Madison play. She was playing with Buzz, dinosaurs and Cinderella all at the same time.

Merry Christmas

Like always our baby girl sleeping through the fun

Gotta love that imagination.

Bostic Christmas Party

2011-01-12T10:04:00.012-05:00

Every year Bostic Steel has the most amazing Christmas party. It is all about the children. They have face painting, someone making balloons of what ever the child requests, dancing, and every kid under age 18 gets a present from Santa. Madison had a blast and Mia slept through the entire party.

Madison had a blast baking. She loves to help in the kitchen.

How does that song go? Put your hands up in the air.....

Tummy time

Mia is very lazy and falls alseep during tummy time.

Madison likes to get on the play mat with Mia. If it is tummy time she says, "Come on Mia, pick up your head." "You can do it".

Big sis Madison has been so helpful. She wanted to help give Mia a sponge bath.
Overall Madison has been amazing. Only one day she got very upset when she asked me to pick her up and I told her I couldn't she was very upset. Once I showed her my incision from the
c-section she has been better. She reminds me to take my medicine (ibuprofen) and she helps me out with my bandaid around my belly (abdomen binder).

Madison meeting Mia was just perfect. She did really great and was so excited. That's our BIG girl..... she always reminds me how amazing she is.

Madison even helped Mia open her gift. Madison picked out a toy for Mia, a lion that plays music. Every time Mia cries she runs for the lion and presses the music button and says, "Look Mia".

We explained to Madison that Mia drinks milk through my boobies.

When Madison saw me drinking milk she asked if the milk was going to my boobies.....LOL

I'm a BIG sister now!

Celebrating Alexander's birthday at CB Smith waterpark. Madison had a blast. She kept going on the big slides and didn't want anything to do with the toddler slides. She was sliding all over the place and she even turned upside down coming down the slide at one point. My heart almost stopped but she got back up and kept going. That's our brave... tough girl!

Our family

Cousins: Alexander, Andrew, Madison, and Zoe..... soon another one will be added to the crew.

Santa even left Madison a thank you note.

Madison's in bed and Santa dropped off the gifts

just in time for Christmas morning.

When we asked Madison what she wanted Santa to bring her, she said a dinosaur.

She asked for a dinosaur bike at first but we told her Santa doesn't make dinosaur bikes.

So Santa got her a dinosaur instead.

Good Morning Madison, it's Christmas morning.

Papa reading my note from Santa.

"Santa ate all the cookies, and drank all the milk. Reindeer ate all the carrots"

Madison repeated this for weeks.

Madison's face says it all.

"I got a princess bike!!!!"

Dinosaur!

"I don't like it."

After asking for a dinosaur for two weeks, our little punkin was scared of it. LOL

"No dinosaur Mama n Papa."

Madison is hiding behind the table. See her head sticking out on the right? LOL

OK let's try to ride.

After today no more riding in the house.

Madison on her sleeping beauty cellphone (that Tio Ryan gave her)

A two year's old imagination is amazing. Madison called Santa on her cell.

Madison said, "Thank you for the presents Santa."

Christmas morning with Mama n Papa.

Punkin.... your hugs and kisses are the best!

This is fun! I like opening presents.

Madison is still afraid of the dinosaur.

She is on the couch. Grabbing her face and saying, "No dinosaur." LOL

Taking a break.

Madison walking around the house with her Handy Manny toolbox and has on the tool belt.

The one toy I told Papa, Madison wouldn't like. He said she would love it. Go figure, she absolutely loved it.

Our little helper... helped pick up the Christmas paper.

Then Great grandpa, Great grandma, Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle Dustin

came over on Christmas morning.

Opening presents

Grandma and Madison

Opening presents with Uncle Dustin

Merry Christmas, we are having an amazing time.

We had a great day. We are so blessed.

Baking Christmas Cookies

2010-01-31T13:48:00.008-05:00

OK, I'm ready to bake Christmas cookies.
I love my Snowman apron.

Papa let go of the blender.... I can do it myself.

(We call her little miss independent)

She loves to say, "Madison do it."

OK we did one batch... what's next?

Butter and eggs.... wait this makes cookies?

More blending

OK, we are cutting out the sugar cookies. When does the decorating start?

Now were talking.... frosting.... yummy.

Madison reminds Papa...... "Madison do it."

Look its a Christmas tree.

Red Cinnamon balls aka ornaments to Madison.

What a masterpiece!

A star

Madison's cookies.... our punkin did a great job. Except for that snowman.

He looks kind of scary. LOL

Christmas decorating at our house

2009-12-21T23:23:00.007-05:00

Madison showing off her pigtails. She now tells us when we do her hair if she wants pigtails or ponytail.

Madison says, "Look Mama its Madison"

Our Madison Rose is having so much fun with Christmas. She helped us decorate the house. She even helped Papa with lights outside, and she is fascinated with the blow ups outside.

Putting more decorations on the tree.

Mama more decorations on the tree... how do you say no to this face?

Madison putting ornaments on the tree.

Of course, we got some plastic ornaments that Madison could place on the tree.

If we tried to help her, she would say "Madison do it"

She won't take the Santa hat off.... it's actually really cute.

Madison posing with her puppy Lulu.

As you can see Lulu wanted no part of it. LOL

Cheese!

Madison really likes the blow up snowman's and Santa.

Since 11/29 when Papa put them up she says everyday:

"Papa put Santa n Snowman up"

"Santa and Snowman on the ground"

"Santa has a present"

"Snowman has presents... one... two"

"Big snow man has candy cane"

"Snowman has carrot nose"

Yes.... she says this everyday!

She really is enjoying this Christmas season.

Decorating style has changed. All stuffed Christmas decorations on table. AKA Madison safe decorations. The rest, AKA breakable stuff are out of punkins reach.

Madison meets Santa

2009-12-21T23:09:00.004-05:00

On December 13th Papa, Mama & I went to a Christmas party (Bostic Steel)

We had such an amazing time. I meet Santa!!!!! I sat on his lap, and I even got a present.

It has been over a week and I'm still talking about how I sat on Santa's lap.

Papa your the best!
Madison was too cute. She kept saying, "Mama look its Santa.... look its Santa"
I've always loved Christmas, but in the eyes of my precious Madison Rose......
CHRISTMAS IS BETTER THAN EVER NOW!!!
Punkin got a present from Santa

Our Madison Rose and Santa

She proved us wrong. Papa and I thought she would be too scared.

She was so excited and kept looking for Santa.

It was the best!

Mama's little princess

Santa chilling out before he handed gifts to all the kids.

Papa's little girl!

The party was all about the kids. The music was even kiddie songs. Madison danced but next to us. She still does not have the courage to dance on the dance floor. Maybe next year.

In December

2009-12-21T22:39:00.006-05:00

Ok, I'm ready to bake cookies.
I did it all by myself!

Madison's new obsession.... puzzles.

After she is done with a puzzle she repeats what Papa and I say to her.

Madison says, "Good job, I did it"

Our bright lil punkin can put together 24 piece puzzles (ages 3+)

all by herself.

(That's our girl)

Playing with Papa on the floor

Madison playing with her Santa hat on.

Chilling with my Lulu

Madison working on another puzzle. Look at the pic closely. She put the book with Santa on the couch. Madison said, "Santa do puzzle with Madison"

Too cute!

Only problem if we put her in Dora PJ, she refuses to take it off.

Madison is also obsessed with Dora the Explorer.

Madison in her Papa's dolphin slippers.... or should I say Madison's slippers.

She knows they belong to Papa but still says, "Madison dolphin slippers."

Madison kept repeating for one week, "Madison had paint on hair, face, forehead, hands, legs.."

Yes..... SHE HAD PAINT EVERYWHERE!!!!

Madison painting the wall with Papa and had so much fun.

Dr Suarez was very impressed with how much Madison is talking. As she walked in the room Madison said, "Good morning Doctor Suarez" Then Madison kept saying, "Merry Christmas", "Santa says ho, ho, ho", "Turn off the light", "We put up a tree" "Open the door", "Madison go home"

All we can say is, SHE'S A BLAST!!!

Then after she got candy she would say, "Happy Halloween" and "Thank You".
It was so much fun to see.
She even got to see her friends Blake and Mason.

She also got to spend sometime with her buddy, Matthew.

Matthew and Madison ran all over the place.

Madison kept saying, "Matthew come".

Finally they took a break to sit down and hydrate.

Yes I said Honey. She calls her Papa....Honey. We walk outside and she says, "Papa open door".

Then she sits on his lap and she says, "Madison driving".

She also puts the volume high and bounces to the music. Her favorite is the song from Black eye peas, "Boom boom boom" or Jamie Fox, aaaaaa alcohol.

She kept saying, "Sheep....Baa baa baa".

Madison petting the sheep and she kept saying, "Nice, nice, nice".

We tell her that every time she pets Lulu, and she said it on her own with the sheep.

Madison pointed at all the animals she knew. She would say their name and made their noise.

Chuck and I had a blast just watching her.

When we got close to the animals, she pointed to the floor and would say, dowwwwn.

Madison did not know Rhino, but did repeat its name. So we asked, how does a rhino go?

She gave us the funniest look. Like she was saying, I don't know.

Great day at the Zoo. Very Hot but we had a blast.

Madison wanted to sit next to Papa and steer the wheel.

Madison really enjoyed looking at the giraffes.

She even tried feeding them.

All this playing outside had made me so thirsty.

18 month checkup and update

2009-05-14T21:03:00.002-04:00

Today was Madison's 18 month check up. It is official, she is scared of the pediatrician's office. I guess after all the vaccinations, she now associates the pediatrician's office with pain. Kind of like Lulu after her HGE episode, she fights us when walking in the vet's door.
So as Papa walked in the office with Madison she embraced him. She saw the nurse walk in the room with the tray that holds the shots and started crying. She received two shots, after the first shot, Madison cried repeatedly "All done, all done". It was too cute.
She now weights 26lbs and is 34 in long. Our punkin is thriving and doing great. She definitely fought the pediatrician during the exam. Dr Suarez says she will have no problem defending herself. That's our girl. LOL

Madison is a parrot. She is repeating everything we say. She says two syllable words like a pro. Has mastered puzzles that are age 3 and up. I think she gets if from me...... LOL just kidding she totally gets the brains from her Papa.

My Uncle Dustin

2009-05-10T23:05:00.005-04:00

Uncle Dustin, I had a wonderful time this weekend.

I love you so much!

Ouch.....that hurt!

2009-05-10T22:56:00.006-04:00

On May 6th, Mama and I were playing and I reached for one of my toys. I lost my balance and hit may head against mama and papa's bed. It hurt alot. I heard mama calling the pediatricians office saying something like this. "I am a nurse and I am trying to say calm, but my 18month old daughter just hit her head and there is a hematoma the size of a quarter on her forehead. Her pupils are not dilated. She is oriented and answering my questions. Should I take her to the ER?" Mama was a mess. I think she cried more then me. All is well now. I keep hearing people tell Mama these things happen..... uh oh. Really? I guess I will only find out in time.

Happy Mother's Day

2009-05-10T22:33:00.004-04:00

Happy Mother's Day to the beautiful women in my life!

Our Madison Rose will be 17months on 4/13.
She says words like: Mama, Papa, Lulu, Tito, Elmo, up, moon, mail, men, pool, hi, bye, ball, puppy, go, no, me, etc. She tries to say alot more but still does not say it clearly.
She does the animal noises for dog, cat, cow, lion, snake, monkey, rooster.
She does the noise for car and plane.
She loves to play outside, in the park and kick her ball around.
She enjoys blowing bubbles and writing all over the sidewalk with chalk.
She does great in following directions when she wants. LOL
If I ask her to bring me her shoes, she does. If I ask her to bring me tea. She brings her pretend tea set and pours me tea.
When I am trying to take a picture of her, she says "Cheese"!
She eats everything: chicken, steak, pork, and tilapia. She loves fruits: apples, strawberries, blueberries, plum, pears, bananas, peaches. We are just working on veggies. She really does not like her green veggies.
She is growing so fast and she is so much fun.
