Two Year Check-Up

I finally got around to taking Madeline in for her 2 year well baby visit.  Here are the stats:

Weight: 30.5 pounds   87%

Height:  36 inches   86%

Head Circumference: 19 inches  83%

The percents are out of 100 children Madeline weighs more then 87, taller then 86, and has a bigger head then 83 of the children.  At least she isn’t odd proportions, big head and little body! He said she looked fabulous. We are finished with shots until she is four years old and we will go in for another kidney scan when she is 3 to see if her kidney reflux has healed itself. We also get to enjoy 2% milk instead of whole milk. It sure is nice to go to the doctor when there is nothing wrong and you just get to see how big your little girl has gotten.  We are so blessed to have such fabulous health care and such a nice pediatric clinic. Thank you Nick for working so hard!

Here is Madeline waiting for our check-up.

Here are a few pictures from our 2 year photo shoot.

She sure is getting to be a big girl and so much fun. I can’t wait to see all the adventures we have in the next year!

Our Little Singer

Tonight Madeline just started singing this song. I was laughing so hard I had to record it. Does anybody know what song this might be? I sure can’t figure it out. Maybe it is her own creation?

Future as a Make-up Artist?

This morning as I was putting away laundry Madeline demonstrated how tall she has gotten. She reached my make-up bag off the bathroom counter. She is fascinated with mascara! She loves to watch when I put it on. I guess she figured she could do it too!  Right now she is hiding from me so I won’t wash it off. 

She has actually requested more pictures please.

 

I’m just thankful she didn’t poke her eye out. Note to self….put make-up bag up even higher! Now to go do some face washing.

Bacon

We had a yummy breakfast for dinner tonight. Madeline was in heaven. Nick was cooking the bacon. Let me just say the smell of bacon right now is not going over well.  Anyway, Madeline wheeled her baby doll stroller into the kitchen and snuck a piece of bacon off the plate. Next thing we knew she was on the couch chilling with her treat. What a rough life!

Did I mention that Madeline got a hold of the camera?

Arriving in November

 

Introducing Baby Schindler. (Head on the right and feet on the left, the circle on the head is the egg sac) We are 10 weeks into this journey and very excited. Nick and I just know that Madeline is going to be a great big sister to this little one.  We went for our first appointment and actually had Dr. Hyde. She was the doctor that delivered Madeline. She couldn’t believe how much that teeny tiny little baby  Madeline had grown. She said everything looked fabulous with the baby and even gave me some medicine for this CONSTANT nausea and throwing up. Let’s pray it works and for a healthy (non colicky) baby who loves to sleep!

Binky Rehab

Madeline entered Binky, or as she calls it Me-Me rehab on Monday. She is doing fabulous!  The first day was a wee bit rough but things have gotten so much easier. I thought night would be the worst but it is actually nap time that she is having the hardest time living without the fabulous binky!  I think the hardest part was to actually do it.  But now we are 4 days in and never going back! What a big 2 year old.

Grandparents, Easter, and Sunshine

Grandpa and Grandma Searl were about to come down for Madeline’s birthday. They didn’t stay for Easter but we sure had a great time while they were here. Linda and Erma also made the super long drive from Ohio. Madeline sure enjoyed having almost all of her favorite skype friends together. Thanks for coming to make this second birthday super special.

Madeline took this picture. It is one of the few without her finger over part of the picture.
