Maddie Sings Old MacDonald (video)
Maddie's vocabulary and comprehension has exploded seemingly overnight! We are not exactly sure when it happened but it was definitely after our trip to China. She understands almost everything we explain to her and repeats everything as well. Her pronunciation is also very clear (to those of us who see her every day) and we go to bed every nigh amazed at just how darn smart she is!!!!

Memorial Day Weekend Fun (with Video)
We had a nice relaxing long weekend for Memorial Day!
On Friday Joseph took Maddie to the Library and then to the "sand park" which is Ehrler Park that has the sand pit. On the way back Maddie got a huge kick of the inflatable dancer guy in front of the mattress store!

On Saturday Maddie got to cuddle with both cats on the couch!
I absolutely love this video! Whenever we get the cats to come around, and they smell either of our feet, we say "Scaredy smelled my stinky foot!" or we will ask Scaredy to "smell my stinky foot?" I finally got video of Maddie asking Scaredy to smell her foot and then afterwards she says "Scaredy smelled my stinky foot!"
On Sunday we went to Ikea to buy Maddie's "big girl bed"! We loved finding bins full of her favorite toy "Green Ball" and she even tried to take a nap with them.
On Monday we had a few friends over for a barbecue since there was no school. Maddie had fun playing with play dough and "washing" her clings before they arrived. After they came over, the kids played in the bouncy house, on the swing set, and also with the new water table we got from Costco. We filled one side with water beads and they had a blast!
Lillian had come over dressed as a bug and we called her a Lily Bug. After Lily left, Maddie wanted to dress up like a bug too! So this is her in her bug costume (red devil ears and red bandana for wings) and we called her a Maddie Bug.

2.5 Year Check Up
We went to the doctor's this morning for Maddie's 2.5 year check up appointment.
Her growth has evened out a bit. She's only gained about 2 pounds in 6 months and has not grown at all. While she has put on a tiny bit of weight, she's losing a little of her baby fat.
Official Stats:
Weight: 31 pounds & 3 oz
Height: 35.75"
This is shorter than what she measured at her 2 year appointment (36.5 inches) likely because she
was lying down for her 2 year appointment, and she was standing up at her 2.5 year appointment
I did not write down the percentiles but she's roughly in the 75 percentile for both weight and height.
Also no shots at her appointment today!
She is still on track or exceeding her milestones. She spoke very clearly to the doctor and even showed her a big jump! She found no issues or causes for concern for anything, so our next appointment back is at 3 years old!

Cute Pics and Videos!
We took lots of cute pictures and videos this weekend!
She loves doing "funny faces" and especially loves the ones that distort her face and make her look really ugly!

Video: Twirling!
Video: Jumping on 2 feet! This is a big developmental milestone. It was a bit delayed when she broke her leg.
We were in the basement playing in the bouncy house, and then she wanted to play on the piano. She sang Twinkle Twinkle and then ABCs. When you see her singing ABCs and pointing at the piano book, it is actually the ABC lyrics she is pointing to since they have the same tune.
Creepy video of Maddie and Daddy doing a face swap!

Sleeping Beauty
Maddie sleeps in the funniest positions! Here's a very typical sleeping position of hers: Arms up and bent, legs wide open. You can see Red Ball and Green Ball on either side of her head.
Pictures from this Weekend with Video
And here is a video of Maddie asking to do "funny faces" on my phone. I ask her to make a couple of funny faces first before we play.
