   We aquired a little roller coaster play set for Madeleine from our friends John and Anna a few weeks ago. Maddie was a little unsure at first but after watching the car go down the track a time or two decided it might be fun and gave it a try…SHE LOVES IT !!!! as you can see. she tried putting one of the cats on the car, he was having none of that and jumped off  before that car even moved. She will put a doll on it and send it down giggling the whole time. Lots of fun still to come with this one !!

 Yup, the munchkin is 18 months old !!! Maddie is still talking up a storm with a huge vocabulary and is even starting to put small sentences together and answer questions… she’s quite mobile and independent too. She just got her 18 month doctor visit out of the way and did very well, especially with the shots she had to get. Maddie is apparently very tall for her age at 34 inches but a little on the slender side at 25 lbs. She of course has plenty of time to work out all that stuff. It’s amazing to watch her become this little person right before our eyes.

(check the summer fun page for more pics) Wow, it’s hard to believe summer is over already and Maddie is 18 months old !!! She’s had a busy summer after the fourth of July, which was the last post I made. Maddie helped her friend Dylan celebrate his first birthday where she got to take a ride on a fire truck, make some new friends and have some fun. Eli joined Maddie for a trip, not a date, to the Plumpton Park Zoo in Cecil county where they saw all sorts of crazy critters. She went to a cook out at grams and gramps house and had some corn on the cob and steamed crabs…well I should say Maddie reaped the benefits of everyone’s picking !! On another take the munchkin to work day, our friend and co-worker Nicole snapped a few shots of the munchkin helping daddy edit some pics and disorganize daddy’s desk. The Farm Fair was a good time Eli and his family joined us again. Maddie got to meet my friend Jay Rickey and one of his cows. August was a little hot so Maddie broke out the pool and stayed cool splashing around. Maddie took in some baseball at The Cal Ripken World Series in Aberdeen again. She even got a media pass to get the access she needed.
