Two Year Old!

It's been an eventful past week in our house. Madeline turned 2 on Thursday! I know that parents always say it, but time is going too fast!! I can't believe that our little baby is no longer a baby. 

Here is the first post I wrote after she was born: Madeline Marie Lucas.

Two years later, here's a little bit about Madeline:

-Loves to be on the move, but occasionally still likes to be held by mommy and daddy

-Very attached to mommy lately

-Talks all the time! She tells us stories about what happened during her day and gets very animated (the hand movements and facial expressions are priceless)

-Big fan of Elmo, Barney, and Doc McStuffins

-Has a sweet tooth like mommy and daddy

-Spends tons of time coloring..."I want my colors" is what she tells us

-Asks about cousin Parker (also now a big 2 year old) all the time

-Sings and dances around the house and loves to hear daddy play music

We love Madeline SO much and thank God that he blessed us with our little girl 2 years ago. 

Unfortunately, poor Madeline was sick on her birthday and over the weekend. I took Thursday and Friday off last week. On Thursday, I had her two year old check-up scheduled and she ended up throwing up in the car when we were pulling into the doctor's office! She seemed to be getting better on Thursday, but it took at turn for the worse on Saturday and she got sick to her stomach a couple more times throughout the weekend. Terrisa and I did a birthday party for Parker and Madeline on Saturday and she ended up having to leave the party early because we realized that she was still sick (she was very clingy and very cranky). By Sunday night she was feeling a lot better and she's back to 100% now. Thank goodness George and I haven't caught it! 

Here are some recent pictures of Madeline...

We discovered that Madeline loves pomegranate. Luckily they are coming into season and should be cheaper now! 

Eating some frozen yogurt!

She loves filling up her backpack with miscellaneous toys. She tells us that she's "going to work" :) 

On the right, is a picture of her at one of George's gigs at Bergie's. She's got her coffee (milk) and is just waiting for the show to start. 

 

On her birthday, she managed to have enough energy to ride around on her little tricycle. She's not quite big enough so we end up having to do some pushing. 

And here's a few pictures of Madeline two years ago! Look at that dark hair!! 

 

I started this post yesterday, but didn't get around to finishing it. Today, it's George's birthday! October is a busy birthday month in our house! George turned 29 today....last year before the big 3-0! Of course, as an adult, you work on your birthday (boooo), but we still managed to celebrate with family at Joe's BBQ in downtown Gilbert. Low key birthdays are more George's style so he enjoyed it :) Maybe next year I'll throw him a surprise 30th birthday party...actually, he would probably hate that so I shouldn't! God has also blessed me with George as my best friend and partner in life. Madeline and I love you soooo much!! 

Here we are at our neighbor's annual Halloween party on Saturday night. George is the milkman and I'm a pregnant housewife :) I was looking for something inexpensive and easy and found this on Pinterest....gotta love Pinterest! 

Ok, off to bed! Happy Halloween!!! I will post some pictures of Madeline in her costume this weekend. She is going as Madeline from the children's storybooks!
