Vacation fun

We have had a very busy month so it was nice that we were able to go on a family vacation last week. We all had a great time but I think Madison had the most fun. She loved the pool at the hotel and kept Daddy busy going from one end to the other. I think her favorite thing to do was to jump into the pool with the close runner up being going down the water slide with Daddy. As you can tell from one of the photos (the night photo) we had a hard time getting her out of the pool. We did visit the beach but Madison wasn't a big fan since the sand was hot. ;) Since we were on vacation she got a very special ice cream treat...you can see from the video she really enjoyed it since it got a little bit of a dance out of her. On our way back home we stopped by to visit with Danny's family so that Madison could spend some time with her cousins. This picture is of Addie showing Madison various things from one of her books. It was a great way to spend our last vacation as just a family of three. :)

2 year photos

Madison got her 2nd birthday photos done yesterday. She wasn't very happy when we started but the people were great and let us play in the room before we started taking photos. Then she was a little more comfortable...but still took her a while to really warm up. Here are just a few of the photos.

2 Year Check-up

Madison had her 2 year check-up today and it went great. The doctor said she is growing perfectly and is right where she needs to be in all categories for weight, height and head size. She had to get 2 vaccinations which we didn't love. No pictures of her bo-bos because we are now old enough to pull off the band-aids soon after they are put on. ;) She wasn't too happy while the appointment was happening but I think she was pretty happy when we left because she walked away with 3 stickers and a sucker. :)

Birthday Party

Madison had a wonderful time at her birthday party. She got a lot of wonderful presents but I think most of all she liked playing with her cousin Addie. Madison had an Abby Cadabby birthday party (for those of you not familiar - Abby is a character on Sesame Street.) Please ignore the fact that we are still working on getting the cabinets up in the kitchen. She got a jungle gym for her birthday and absolutely loves it. I think she would live on it if she could. She is constantly asking to go outside and swing. :)

Happy 2nd Birthday

Madison is officially 2 years old today. It is so hard to believe that much time has gone by already. Today we had planned her birthday party but had to postpone it to tomorrow due to the bad weather. We had family coming in from out of town and we wanted them to be safe so tomorrow is the big party day. Although tomorrow is the big party day we couldn't let the day pass with out a small celebration. Nana and Pop came over and we had a small cake and Madison was able to open up some fun presents. She had a blast. Nana got her dolls that are twins so she can prepare to be a big sis to some real life twins. I think this was her favorite gift...and we can already tell she is going to be a great big sis. She is officially a pro at unwrapping so Christmas should be a lot of fun! ;) Happy 2nd Birthday Madison!!!! We love you!

Surprise visit to the doctor

Well we had another surprise visit to the doctor again yesterday. I have had a couple of dizzy spells over the last few days and have been sick since Monday. I called the doctor to let them know about the dizzy spells and they told me to come on in just to be on the safe side. The babies looked great and we even got to see both of their faces. The top photo is a front face shot of Baby B and then the bottom is obviously a profile shot of Baby A. As for me everything is A-okay. The doctor said I just have allergies and they are messing up my inner ear causing me to get dizzy. He told me to take some allergy medicine and that has helped a ton.

Update on Babies

I had another appointment this morning and it went great. The babies are looking good. Both are currently weighing in at 1 lb. which it right on schedule for their delivery date. Both heart rates where in the 150 range. We got a few pictures but what is printed is never as clear as it is when looking on the screen while we are there. We got a great shot of Baby B's leg...but still no face/profile shot. ;)
