The White House

We have been on the go over the past few weeks. Two weekends ago we spent back to back weekends in VA. We had a wedding one weekend and headed up for a tech game the next. Though two weekends on the go can be tiring it was really nice to spend time with the White side of the family. Madelyn had a great time with her cousin, Aunts, Uncles and Grandparents!

This past weekend we were very excited to have Nana and Papa here for a long weekend. It was such a fun weekend of shopping, baking, delicious meals and of course Madelyn loving time with them. The boys got to enjoy a night out to the race and mom was such a big help getting stuff done to the house. As always it was very hard when they left. We wish we could have these weekends more often!

Madelyn has started the lovely tantrums and beginning of what we think is the fun terrible two stage. Everybody knows how high strung she is so it was no surprise we would be starting this soon, lol! She is definitely getting very upset when she doesn't get her way or something she wants. She has even started biting us to show how angry she is! She continues to repeat EVERYTHING! A funny example is; while mom was here she was trying to get the attention of a worker at Walmart and said "Sir" next thing we know Madelyn is screaming SIR over and over at the man! I guess she was just trying to help, she sure did get his attention, haha!

Some of her latest words are: please, thank-you, help, rocks (all she wants to do it play in them), apple, stay and spoon. She is able to say and identify a dog, cat, cow and duck. She also can say the sounds that go with them except for duck. However, sometimes her moo and meow and gets mixed up:)

Madelyn has battled a bad diaper rash on and off since she was about 6 months. She also has always had very sensitive skin. However, lately it seems to have gotten worse. Getting the rash very often and red marks on her skin all the time. Her pediatrician has finally decided that we need to take her to a pediatric dermatoligst. We are actually relieved as hoping to find a solution to the poor girls constant rash! We go on November 7th.

Looking at her new clothes, saying "cute" as picking up each one! Yes we have one future DIVA on our hands! We also learned to twirl when showing daddy our outfit.
