On Friday, Madi and I had a mommy and baby (toddler) date at the mall. We bought new shoes, played in the play place and focused on a purple balloon. Not too hard to please her ;)
On Saturday, we started the morning with our best friends having the best brunch I have had in ages. Madi sat in her high chair happily the entire time. It was an hour and half. I was so proud of her. She really hardly made a peep. She colored, read books, ate breakfast, and watched elmo all without a single whine or scream.
After breakfast Madi and I headed to Maine for a girls weekend with the cousins. She loves hanging out with the big girls. She slept a solid 13 hours that night, which meant I could stay up with my cousins talking and laughing with a glass of wine.
The next morning we headed to the beach. I had planned on just walking along the beach in the sand, but Miss Independent had other plans and I didn't mind one bit! She was in bliss with a day at the beach.
We headed home around mid day in time for the patriots day parade. She ran and collected candy that was thrown from floats and cars and danced and clapped with the marching bands.
The next day we had daddy all to ourselves and we chose to go to another town parade. She had lots of kisses and laughs for each of us.
This weekend allowed for a lot of special mother daughter time and we really enjoyed each other's company. She has started laughing most of every day and has been really into being silly. Pretending to scare us, playing hide and seek, and taking walks holding my hand. She is such a big girl now and I LOVE every minute I get to spend with her- watching her learn new things.
love, love, love this!!!! YOU look so happy! And she's just one sweet pumpkin!!!
