3!

While Madison would love to be 5 so she can ride a bus and go to school, she was pretty happy to turn 3!  We started the day by going to story time at the library and then we went to McDonald's for lunch.  Todd was able to join which was great.  She played with neighbor kids and picked chicken for dinner.  She ended the day with a cupcake. 

Madison is doing well in Michigan.  Our cul-de-sac is filled with kids and there are two girls close to Madison's age.
Madison enjoys a large array of activities.  She loves to play outside, read, play with friends, play games, and do art projects.  Some of her favorite characters are Mickey, Minnie, & Winnie the Pooh.  Favorite movies are Finding Nemo & Frozen. 
Favorite tv shows are Peg + Cat, Daniel Tiger, Thomas, & Curious George

This wiggly little boy didn't want to sit still or smile for the camera. He did however, show off his new trick of pointing.  A lot of times while pointing he will say "this".  It's very cute.
Kaden has started to "sing" which is adorable.  If Madison or I start singing, Kaden will start to say "ya ya ya" like he is singing too.  He seems to be very good at copying sounds and noises with his mouth.
Kaden still doesn't officially crawl.  He prefers to roll but he CAN army crawl if properly motivated.  If I hold my iphone closely in front of him and move it back, he will crawl after it.  He also army crawls more on the hard wood and mostly rolls on the carpet.  He has just decided that he can get around faster rolling so he prefers to do that.  
I'm now starting to plan for the kids birthday parties.  The past year has gone fast and I can't believe he is almost one!
