Just a quick note . . . Maddox took one step by herself yesterday and two steps this morning! She's getting there!
That's all the news here. The rest of it involves illness details that you probably don't care to hear about. Just don't come visit this week or you may regret it!

My Wonder Woman (and more)
Here's a pic of the crazy onesie her Aunt Jennifer bought her. It must run big because she's got lots of room to grow in it. How great that we can get lots of use out of that . . . She's supposed to dress up for storytime as a book character soon. Surely there's a wonder woman book?
Celebrating St. Patrick's Day with her green cereal.
She learned to take her dog for walks that Renee gave her for her birthday. Now we cart that around when we go outside to walk too.

Maddox got some new sunglasses this weekend. She only had to be told once to leave them alone and she did! She then had this very smug, satisfied smile on her face most of the time with them on. I think she thought she was quite cool. Just like her Mommy and Daddy who had their sunglasses on. ( not that we were cool, but she thought it was cool to be like us) She wore them to church on Sunday and got lots of comments. hee hee
Ready to go to FL next week . . . thinks she's ready for these? She doesn't.
Here's just a fun video of Maddox's silly time before bed.
New News! She finally cut another tooth today! It's only her third. The other top one might be on it's way too. She got the first two back in August and the third finally in March! Crazy kid!
The End

Week of Weather!
On Monday it was 30 degrees with 5 inches of snow and 5 days later it was 80 degrees. What fun weather! This is a rare scene in Winston-Salem. The last time we got this amount of snow was 4 winters ago, our first winter here. Usually it snows a dusting to 1/2 inch a couple of times a winter. 
Maddox got to go sledding for the first time. Yes, we went on our neighbor's driveway. There aren't any hills in our neighborhood and I wasn't going to go far from home with a 1 year old when it was 25 degrees and ice on the roads. No one even owns sleds so all the neighbors had to share one neighbors' set of two. Here's a video of it, don't blink!
Maybe you can't see it but she scratched her nose and upper lip while I pulled the sled in the street. I shouldn't have wiped the blood off first, then you would have believed me. I U-turned back towards home over the ice and she didn't stay in the sled. Sherolled right out and got her face planted on the ice and scratched a bit. Poor thing. She recovered quickly though. . .
. . .after a little lovin' from Mom.
So then I pulled her around the not bumpy front yard and she figured out how to hold on. Her friend Grady came out and rode with her and it was so cute. Unfortunately Grady's mom took those pictures and hasn't sent them on yet. He was in a snowsuit just like the kid in A Christmas Carol and couldn't sit up. He had to lay his head in Maddox's lap and cried the whole time. It was hilarious!
After all the snow melted it got beautifully warm! We spent all weekend outside hanging out. Maddox loves to use her walker and walk up and down the street, and up and down, and up and down. We played basketball and dug around the yard and played with all the neighbors. Today we went hiking and to a park.

I had a pulled muscle or I would have done it. He whined enough about his back maybe I should have done it anyway. Then I could whine (as if I haven't already with the muscle thing). Luckily Maddox loves being outdoors and is happy with whoever's back she's on.
Mom, get me out of this thing, I'm dangling . . .:
We had a picnic at the park after our hike.
Some play time after lunch.
Look at these two cuties!
She wasn't quite comfortable being in this tube. We never could get her to crawl through it. I'm not sure if the sand in it hurt her knees or if it just spooked her out.
Check out her adorable tiny crocs. Amazingly enough she walks (with the walker still) in them pretty well, no tripping. These are the first hard sole shoes she's worn and the only summery shoes she has right now.
Not so sure about this slide mom! (Also notice, Suzy, that she's wearing my favorite hand-me-down! So cute! I love paisleys!)
Maddox usually takes a nap about 11 for less than 2 hours. Today we were out until 2 and she fell asleep immediately in the car on the way home and took a 3 hour nap. Jessi is just about as wiped out as Maddox. We also spent time this weekend teaching Maddox how to dribble a basketball and working in Mommy's flowerpots. Apparently maddox's job is to throw dirt OUT of them to the ground. Great help. It was a great day to be outside!

That's all she'll say and she uses it in the right ways. Dropped her cup? "Uh-oh" Fell down? "Uh-oh" Mommy caught me eating dog food? "Uh-oh"
