When I signed on to update our blog I hadn't realized how long it had been since I last posted. The past month has been pretty busy for us. Last month we celebrated all of our "adoption anniversaries", this month (so far) we've had Andy's mom visiting from Michigan, Dylan's 8th birthday, the boys first cub scout camp-out and we still have Halloween to come.
Maddie is doing great! She is talking like crazy. Her 2 word sentences are quickly developing into 3 word sentences. She LOVES Sesame Street and is starting to say her ABC's and learn her letters. She definitely knows the letter M for Maddie. She can also count to five. We are slowly "introducing" the potty to her and she has gone successfully a few times already. She loves to color and draw, push her dolls around in the stroller, she loves her books and loves to put on shoes and hats (all things girl). But.... as I am typing this post, she is sat next to me at the kitchen table playing with some of Dylan's matchbox cars:) She definitely has plenty of "drama queen" moments, but for the most part she is a very happy and loving little girl.
Dylan turned 8 a couple weeks ago:( My babies are growing up too quick. Grandma was here visiting, Papa and Donna drove up from Myrtle Beach for the day and all of Dylan's girls (therapists/teachers) were here along with some other special friends to celebrate his special day with him. It was a gorgeous sunny day so we had his party in the backyard. He had a great day! Dylan also started therapeutic horseback riding in August and is doing very well, he really loves the horses.
Both Brendan & Dylan joined scouts this year. Brendan is a Weebolo and Dylan is a Tiger Cub. It has been great for both of them so far. Last weekend Andy went with them on their first weekend camp-out at a campground just up the road. They all had a blast!
That's about all for the month of October so far. Stay tuned for Halloween pictures!
