Madison's 2nd Birthday

[Sorry for the back-dated posts for those who use an RSS feed/reader. All this bed rest means I get to catch up on the blog!!]

Our little princess is 2!!!

Since they're birthdays are only 11 days apart, Aaron and Mads had a joint birthday party at California Sports Center's kids gym. Everyone seemed to have a blast and Madison loved all of the attention and really understood that it was her birthday.

Funny Moments at Almost Two

This morning Mads started singing that chant from Nemo when they do that whole ceremony in the tank for the arrival of Nemo. So Jase starts chanting with her,

[chanting] Ha! Ho! Hwa! Hwee! Ha! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ha! Ho! Hwa! Hwee! Ha! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ha! Ho!
Hwa! Hwee! Ha! Ho! Ho! Ho! Hahoo! Wahoo! Yahoo! Ho! Ha! Ho! Wahee! Ha! Ho! Ho! Ho! Hoo!


As soon as he gets to Hoo!, Maddie looks up at him and says "State your name!" (Accurately the next line of the movie, btw.) Have I mentioned that she hasn't watched Nemo in weeks?! How does she remember this stuff? We were cracking up.

She likes to show us stuff, so she's constantly saying things like,

"Listen! I hear a doggie!"

"Look! Look! Look, Mommy! I have a sticker."

(Following Thor around) "Come here! Come here! I want to talk with you. Come back here."

She spent 10 minutes rocking her animal flash cards to sleep. Picked up the bat card, kissed his fanged little face, patted him gently, then rocked him in her arms while singing "Rock a bye baby" quietly. She then put him down on the table, said "Night night. Sleep tight," and moved on to the next animal.
