I'm 4-Months Old

Hello Everyone! Well time really does fly! Can you believe that I am 4-months old today? It seems like just yesterday I was 3-months old. I am totally growing fast! At my checkup, I measured 26.5 inches long and weighed 14.5 pounds. That puts me in the 97th percentile for height and 75th percentile for weight! This means that I can start wearing some more fashionable outfits...and not just silly onsies. I am soooooo mature! Anyway, everything is going really well for me. I am a really good eater, and I do all my poopies on time...I also really love watching my big brother playing with his trains and can wait to play with him. I just need to figure out how to crawl and then I'll be all set! I am also really looking forward to the fall, and going on my first pumpkin picking trip with Zack. It's going to be a blast! Halloween is going to be super fun too...but I can't tell you what I am going to be. I really don't even know, cause Mommy is keeping it a secret. You'll just have to check back soon and see me in my costume in a few weeks!

I Met Thomas Today!!!

Hi Everyone! You're not going to believe this, but Mommy & Daddy made my dreams come true this weekend...they took me to meet my hero, Thomas the Tank Engine! Yes, it's true!! We left Maddy with Grandma and Grandpa, and took a very long road trip from NJ to Pennsylvania to meet Thomas at the Strasburg Railroad. It was amazing!

Thomas is just as nice and useful in person as he is on TV. He was right on time, and I was able to get a window seat and ride in his coaches. The train ride was really sweet - we saw lots of farms, animals and windmills. I even got to visit the Strasburg Railroad Museum and climb onto real locomotives! It was absolutely the most perfect day ever...and probably the best day of my life! And Daddy was especially nice too...he bought me some special trains and tracks - but he told me that I would only get to play with them when I am bigger, cause I kind of break stuff sometimes. I also go a new Molly, some books and stickers. I'll never forget it...Thanks Mommy & Daddy! I love you guys:-)

My First Day of School!

Today was my very first week of preschool! At first, I totally thought it was tons of fun. Who wouldn't - there are toys, games, and lots of children to play with. However, what I was not prepared for is the fact that Mommy actually leaves me there - and doesn't hang out with me. That made me a bit sad, so I am still getting use to that. I mean everyone is really nice, but its not like being at home in my playroom with my trains!

Overall, my class is pretty nice though. I have three teachers and there are about 12 other kids there too. One of my favorite activities is snack time, where we all sit around the table and chat. I also really like lunch time cause they serve fries! That's really cool and totally beats carrots! We also do other stuff like artwork, playing and circle time...

I guess I'll just have to be a bit more open-minded and give this school thing a try. Afterall, I will eventually be in school for a really long time!

I'm 3 Months Old!!!

 

Hi Everyone! It's Maddy and I just wanted to let you know how I am doing! I acutally just celebrated my 3-month birthday yesterday!!! Can you believe it...3 months already! I am growing so fast that Mommy already has me in 6-month outfits - that's big girl clothes! I have had so much fun the last 3 months - getting to know Mommy & Daddy, but also my best friend and big brother Zack. He's my hero! I've really been working hard to get his attention - which is very hard because I am not a train, and he only pays attention to his trains...Oh well. That hasn't stopped me! So far I can do stuff like roll over, laugh and giggle, make really big pee-pee diapers...and I can even sleep for 13 hours straight! That last trick took me a while - and I believe that it's Mommy and Daddy's favorite trick! Anyway, hope you have a great week! Lots of hugs, Maddy :-)

Summer Fun

Hi Everyone! We hope that you are having a great summer! We sure have been! Although it's been very hot, Maddy and I have managed to get out and have loads of fun all over. Mostly, we've been going to the beach every weekend - which I LOVE! I totally love playing in the sand and getting everywhere! I've really been able to work on my sand castle, digging and running skills at the beach. I've even made friends with the lifeguards...they're really nice to me, even when I try to steal they're beach shovel! As for Maddy, I think she likes the beach too...but she always seems to fall asleep and only wakes up to eat. She's actually getting quite chunky, but don't tell her that I said that!!! Besides going to the beach, we've been out and about with Hope, going for walks and to the playground. Plus, we've done some nice day trips too...like going to Pennsylvania (my first time out of state!), going to Princeton, visiting Northlandz Train Museum (which was the best day of my LIFE!!!)...and even going out to eat at Fudruckers (tasty!) and for ice cream at Gabriell's Fountain. All in all, it's been so much fun...and it's been great fun spending so much time with Mommy. Unfortunately, she's going back to work on Monday...We're going to miss her...but give her tons of hugs when she gets home!

Anyway, have a fabulous weekend and try to keep cool! Love Zack and Maddy!!!
