Vacation

I'm trying a new format here, so I hope it works.

We were away for a week in Sunny Florida, visiting Maddy's grandparents. She was so good, despite the Everlasting Teething. She was good on the plane, even slept for a bit. I bought her some Magic Color markers, but she preferred eating them rather than actually coloring with them.

She has become quite independant. She does not want to be held if she can walk; does not want to be fed if she can feed herself; does not want to be in a stroller if she can roam free; and does not want to slow down when she can go fast. She's also quite the Dancin' Machine.

She had mixed emotions about the pool. One day she loved being in her floaty thing, The next, not so much....
One thing that remained consistant each day was her desire to drink the pool water. Yuck. We bought her a little froggy pool that has a little sprinkler on it, and she enjoyed that as well.

We taught her how to sing Happy Birthday... she says " Hah- pee buh". And get a load of her and her balloon. I'd kind of been avoiding purchasing balloons for her because I thought she'd freak everytime we went to the grocery store . Grandma bought it for her, and all my trips to the grocery store have been complete with squealing screeching and general clamoring for a balloon now. Whoever thought of putting balloons by the checkout is an evil genius.

Look at the pure joy on her face. Its worth the $2.50 !
