Maddie started school in the big girl room on August 18. She got moved up to the 18 month old room early because she was getting too big for the infant room. She was biting other kids in her old room and the teacher said she was getting bored. I was excited for her to move up but it seemed like such a big room for her. There is lots of climbing blocks, small kitchen set, reading corner, table to eat and lots of new big girl toys. They go outside twice a day and nap for about 2 hours too. We got her a new little backpack and Mimi got her new shoes for school too.

All ready for her first day of school in the new big girl room!

Oh that grin with the missing teeth.

Mimi got her little leather keds, they are so cute and she loves her new "sshh".

She was so excited to be wearing her backpack and new shoes that she kept dancing around the kitchen. She has been in there for about a week and she is doing great! She is growing and learning so much now. They do about two art projects a day and she comes home with little papers for us. Its so cute and they have a curriculum they follow each week so she is learning like she would in a preschool. She loves going there and is exhausted at the end of each day!

Out last hoorah's for the summer!

Our summer was awesome! We were able to go to Destin for a week, Nana & Papa's for a few weeks, Mimi & Opa's for a few days and watch Rae graduate!!! It was such a fun summer with Maddie and I am having a hard time going back to work and leaving her a daycare even though she went off and on all summer. She has grown so much over the summer. She is now sleeping about 12 hours a night, eating everything we are eating, no bottles but still taking a pippy but only at nap time. She is running, talking more and loves playing dress up with braclets and necklaces. Thanks to cousin Chloe who spent lots of time with Maddie this summer teaching her all the fun things about dressing up. Maddie is our world and we can't believe how much she has changed. Take a look at our pictures!!

Aunt Rae and Me at her graduation party!

Mimi and Opa brought Maddie this playhouse that was an extra so we are really enjoying it. As you can see, Aunt Rae Rae is in the house and playing with the kids. Maddie and Damien play in this house like crazy. They go in and out then open and shut the shutters. It is pure entertainment for them. Obviously, Aunt Rae Rae loves playing in it too! Hahaha....
All the band babies went to Landa Park to swim while the Daddies were gone and Maddie decided to have a short snack. She found a new snack she is in love with and wouldn't put the box down to go swim. She loves to eat! Oh moo...
Aunt Rae Rae and Justin wanted to take Maddie on the train for a quick ride but she was tired from swimming so she was a bit fussy. When the train came back she was asleep. She might have to ride it again and stay awake to see it all again!

That is all folks! Hope you had a great summer like we did!!
