Adventures of Madison, Ashlee Austin & Tyler!!!: July 2009

Well let see....It's nice to be back home in your own element, your own bed with your own stuff! As nice as vaca's are, they are not HOME :) So now that we're all settled and unwound things are starting to get back to normal. Madison is still diving head first into her "2's"..YIKES! and even took her 1st trip to TIME OUT today! Needless to say, she was NOT a fan! I gave her a few warnings but figured now was as good a time as any to try it out. It wasnt so bad, she sat there for a good minute and then came and gave me a kiss. I mean really, TIME OUT??? I just cant believe how big she is and grown up. She repeats what you say and all our gestures. We had a laugh the other nite because we always tell her "Excuse You" when she burps or farts outloud(Yes! She's a farter!) Well since she's turned into such a parrot I figure we better stop that because I think I would just DIE if someone burped outloud and she said "Excuse You!" to them. LOL She dances along to the dances on her cartoons and even has learned almost ALL her body parts! I cant believe she's going to be 2 YEARS OLD, its just so bittersweet! Bringing up the rear in all her 3 MONTH OLD GLORY! is Miss. Ashlee. Yes she's 3 mos old today and I swear must weigh like 20 lbs! HA! just kidding but seriously she's is a chunky monkey already! PORKCHOP II :) She's "coo'ing" all the time and just smiles all day! Her sleeping habits are getting better everyday. She goes down around 9pm and wakes around 5am, except of course when Daddy babysat on Saturday nite (Mommy went out) and she slept till 7AM!!!!!!!!!! Whatever the heck that was about! I did NOT appreciate it! So 2 under 2 is DEFINITELY an experience in itself and a major task. There's always a butt to wipe, a mouth to clean, a tear to dry, etc. Mommy time is a distant memory except maybe, when I feel the urge to pee and actually remember to close the door!! Even then I find these these tiny fingers flailing around under the door :) Inspite of all that I couldnt imagine a more rewarding job! MOM!!!!!! I want to play tooo! NO! Im NOT to big! Me Chinese! (She doesnt even look like the same kid) Madison has the CRAZIEST bed head! Alf Alfa! Sleepy Girl, Just like Daddy! Where's your Mouth? Where's your Feet? Where's your Ear? Where's your Boobies?? LOL Where's your Eyes?? Where's your Hair??

We just came home from our Annual Week long Lake Placid Trip! It was probably our best year yet but you CANT IMAGINE HOW MUCH CRAP we had to bring for these 2 little girls!!! Oh my gosh! Pack N Plays, high chairs, bounce chairs, blankets, monitors, bathtub, the list just goes on and on!! More of our family came this year including Mima, Poppi, Anthony, Kate, Jen, Andrew, Nana, Uncle Jordi, Shaina, Aunt Linda, Uncle Tom & Melissa!! Madison had such a good time playing in the sand, lake and pool! Ashlee didn't have as much fun as everyone else, she was not able to stay outside very long but she did make a few cameo's! Next year will be her year! LOL I think she preferred the A/C anyway :) We played games at nite and sun bathed and played all day! Madison went on her very first wave runner ride! I was a little nervous she might freak out but she did awesome and didnt cry once! Of course, Daddy went very slow! Next year....THE TUBES!!! LOL It was a terrific trip and VERY relaxing! Just what Mommy needed :) P.S. If you didnt get to see the pro pics we took before we left or want to order your own, I uploaded them to Walgreens, here is the link!

Hope everyone had a TERRIFIC 4th of July!! We had a fun-packed weekend! We took the girls to Jump & Gym where they got to watch a puppet show (SO CUTE!) and climb, bounce and crawl on all the fun toys! Pop invited us over to swim and BBQ. Madison had a BLAST swimming with her Grandpa and did NOT want to get out! She is a HUGE FAN of the "on the stairs, off the stairs" pool game! :) Mommy? Not so much! Bank Atlantic Center had a wonderful firework display with a live band so we marched the kids (in their matching outfits) over there to meet Nana (My Mom)& her friends! Madison LOVED the fireworks! We told her "Oh Wow!" a few times and it was "OH WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWW!" ALL. NITE. LONG! She was sooo cute! Thankfully, not scared at all! Grannie & Pop Came to visit..CHEEESE! We have a SMILEY BABY!!! Pop LOVES to swim with me...Or Stair Jump as I like to call it! Ready for 4th of July FUN! Yes I CAN put all these pretzels in my mouth!! WATCH!! Im ready too Mom!!!
