Adventures of Madison, Ashlee Austin & Tyler!!!: February 2010

2.17.2010

Hope everyone had an AWESOME Valentine's Day!! We celebrated all weekend long. Madison and I made red, heart shaped Pancakes for breakfast and decorated heart cookies later on! She LOOOOOVES to bake, mix, you name it! It started off a few mos ago, VERY CUTE...Now?? Mommy could almost go without all the 'help'! Madison & Ashlee got candy, cards, a few toys and singing puppy! We made Daddy a coupon book, a 'Book of Love' (which was a full deck of cards, ribboned together with a reason on ea. card of why we love him) & a pro pic of his 3 ladies!!
We also visited Flamingo Gardens over the wkd. It has been a hundred YEARS since I was there...That place is soo much bigger than I remember! Perfect size for an afternoon outing or even just to go for lunch and a show. So close to home too. The girls saw soo many animals but the highlight was DEFINITELY feeding the flamingo's! Who knew you could hand feed a flamingo! They came RIGHT up to the fence and ate right out of our hands...It was soo cute! Madison was just giddy!
The girls are getting soo big. Madison can count to 11 and can name 6 shapes. Ashlee is blubbering away ALL THE LIVE LONG DAY!!
She is playing with ALL Madison's toys and even holding her own on the sharing situation.
Time is just FLYING!!!!!!!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful New Year and still going strong with your resolutions! Mine was no talking or texting while driving and I havent cheated yet! WHOO HOO!!
The girls are getting SOOOO BIG!! Just thinking of it will make me cry! My 'Baby' Ashlee is already 9 mos old! She's standing, walking around the furniture, eating REAL food and taking ALL Madison's toys! She is such a pleasant baby and only really whines if something is wrong.. She plays independently real well just like Madison did at her age...Her 9 mo doc appt is coming up so I dont have her stats yet but Id bet about 20lbs. Her and Madison are wearing the same clothes, if you can believe that! Mostly the tops but even a few bottoms!
Madison has turned into quite a motor mouth in the last month or so. She is talking so much and its just music to our ears! Its especially fun to hear her say things we havent taught her ourselves, the things she's picked up on her own. (The GOOD things, I mean..HA!)
She is playing more with her sister, learning how to share better and setting a great example.
The girls had a playdate with my Dad and Mitzi at the house. They played for hours and with the amount of laughter and screaming coming from that room, I think fun was had by all!
This past wkd we went to a BBQ at Jason's sister's house where Madison got to swim with Daddy & Anthony! They had a BLAST! Here's some pics from the kids adventures!
