Nature Park - November 22, 2009

Today Maddie and I decided that we'd go to the Nature Center while Matt was riding his bike. Its a cute little nature walk not to far from our house. We walked and saw the ducks, played in the leaves and went to see the horses. Maddie loves it there. As you'll notice, most of the pictures are of the back of her... She was walking away from me in almost everyone. I can't believe how big and independent my little girl is.

Showing me her tongue.

Playing in the leaves.

Walking towards the pond.

Walking on the trails.

Looking for the ducks.

Relaxing and watching the ducks - while quacking at them the whole time.

And a few random pictures....

The view from our balcony.

Maddie drinking eggnog and helping Daddy put up our Christmas tree. She loves eggnog!

Our little girl is getting so big. She copies almost every word that you say. She can repeat the whole alphabet and tonight learned the one letter she couldn't say before.. W. It's adorable when you hear her say it.. "DoubleYuuu" She absolutely LOVES all of the Christmas stuff that is out and about. She screams at every lit up house she sees and gets so excited when Matt turns on our tree and house lights. Tonight we set up her own tree in her room so that she could have her ornaments and cute little girly things on it. It's pretty cute. She loves seeing visiting my parents house and seeing all her aunts and uncles. She also loves talking to her Nonni and Zizi on the web cam. She'll wake up in the morning and walk right to the laptop and start calling out, "Nonni!!" She's getting too big, too fast. If I could pause her at the age she's at right now, I would!
