16 months worth of energy!

I definitely need to stop drinking caffeine :)

My sweet little active baby has grown into a sweet active toddler monster! In the last couple of months she has grown 2 clothing sizes, got at least 8 new teeth, has learn a bazillion new words and phrases, and has also got a attitude :). From the outside you see an amazingly smart, active, sweet, adorable little girl, who loves to wave and blow kisses. Here is a glimpse of my new little world: tonight I stripped Madison down to put her in the tub but while I answered the phone she ran into the next room. I went to retrieve her when I noticed she had peed on the floor. She started laughing and began to dance in the puddle. I plopped her in the tub and sat there while she laughed hysterically and threw cupfuls of water on me and herself. After dosing herself in the eyes with water I held out a towel for her to dry her face. She dried her face then turned her head and bit my wrist......then laughed. I pulled her out, dried her off, and put her in her jammies. She ran over to me, shrieked in my face, slapped me, then laughed! Can I say this behavior is new as of the last few weeks?!?!? While I am completely exhausted at the end of each day I still wouldn't trade her for the world!

Arent' they sweet?!
We were so excited to see Alissa, Jace, and Jenna! We tried to take some pics but Madison kept getting into everything (including falling head first into a bush!), Jenna didn't want to smile, and Jace just wanted to swim. Did I mention it was hot?! Madison was so sad when they left (so was I) but we look forward to playing with them again.

Madison is so adorable. SO are Jace & Jenna..I am so sorry Madison has been so mean to you with biting and slapping. I guess she is testing you or going through terrible two's early. Miss and Love Ya
