Maddie Says: Being Hay-ving

This is something cute that Maddie says. When I ask her if she is "behaving" or "are you going to behave?" she says "I'm being having!" as if behaving is a verb.

Vickie: "Are you eating"
Maddie: "I'm eating"

Vickie: "Are you behaving?" or "Are you going to behave?"
Maddie: "I'm being having!" (pronounced "hay-ving")

Vickie's First Day Back at Work

Today was my first day back at work after having James!  Pau Pau Nancy will be watching James 3 days a week when I go into the office, and I will work from home the other 2 days and watch him while working.

Maddie in the King Size Bed

We got a room at the Mayo Hotel the night of Jordan & Trent's wedding since Joseph and I had to trade off who would be at the wedding since someone had to stay with the kids.  We got a pack and play for James and he slept in the walk in closet.  Maddie got the entire king size bed all to herself until I was ready to turn in for the night.

I crept in to check in on her at one point and she was sprawled across the entire bed!  When I got into bed, she woke up from a noise and noticed I was in bed with her and started crying and wanted me to get out of the bed and into my own bed! It was hilarious and took me quite some time to get her settled and back asleep, and of course I didn't want her to wake up James!

Visiting Santa 2017

While in Tulsa we took the kits to Utica Square to visit Santa!  He was in a little house all to himself and luckily there was no wait!  Maddie was SO excited to talk to Santa after we told her that she could tell Santa what she wanted for Christmas!  James fell asleep on the car ride there so Maddie had a nice little chat with Santa by herself.  Maddie told Santa she wanted a red car for Christmas. Then she changed it to a blue boat. We took some adorable photos of just Maddie with Santa, then put James in Santa's other arm. He was still half asleep but then got grumpy once he started to wake up! It made for some cute photos!

Tulsa Trip 2017

The entire family flew to Tulsa just after Thanksgiving! We spent about a week and a half and were able to also go to cousin Jordan & Trent's wedding on December 1st!

We had Thanksgiving dinner Friday early evening after we arrived.  We got to see lots of family during the trip and also visited the Tulsa Zoo!  Maddie also got to do some shopping and we also got to see Santa!

Maddie had lots of energy after our flight from Chicago landed. She was running back and forth in the terminal while waiting for Joseph to get our luggage.

I love this look of determination on her face!

This was her "Roar!" face!

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?
