Almost 2!

Saying "Cheese" for the camera

Maddie and her Baby in her new panties!

Spending some time with our pal Geno!

Rockin our new Cinderella shades!

The countdown begins... exactly one month from today my baby turns 2! who would have thought it would go this darn fast. I still call her my baby... but she's really my bratty toddler! The other day at a friends house. I wasn't paying attention and she smacked me across the face and said, "Shut-up MOMMY!" I was totally mortified. She is soooo mean to me! Her new favirote word is shut-up. We have tried everything... time-out, spankings, flicks in the mouth and now we are just ignoring it. She must say it atleast 50 times a day. She totally uses it in the right context too! I know this is just the beginning too. She is so smart, manipulative, tough, strong, stubborn, and loving all at the same time. Sounds kind of like someone I know. :)

Anyhow, besides the new favirote word we are also trying to start potty training. She has been using the potty (and I say that loosely) for the past 6 months. But I have some training underpants and we are trying to keep them on. Wish us luck.. I have a feeling their is LOTS of loads of laundry in my future!
