Driving Mr. Maddox

Maren:

What a great week!  The weather has been a bit cool but we still managed to get some fun activities in.  We have been missing the Trautz family lots... our mommy's are just too busy... but we were able to get together for a play date and pic-nic at the park.  It was fun to spend some time with Jace and Bella.  We all had a great time playing and hanging out.
As you will read below, my baby brother has a new fascination with cars.  He loves to play and can stay in there for hours!  Luckily, I like to pretend too and mommy is all in for the fun.  The other day, she was the "daughter" and I loaded her up in the car seat in the back seat.  I was the "mommy" and Maddox was the "daddy" and we all drove to Disneyland.  

Maddox:
I am BIG TROUBLE!  Holy cow!  Now that I am walking I am on fire!  I am growing up so fast and doing so many new things!
This last week we went to the park with Miss Heather, Jace and Bella.  Mommy was really surprised at me since it was my first time... I crawled all over everything and loved it!  I even went down the slides face first without anyone showing me how!  I loved that and wanted to do it over and over and over again!
My newest fascination is driving.  I could spend hours and hours playing in mommy and daddy's cars if they would let me.  My sissy likes to get in and play with me and we take pretend trips with mommy sitting in the back seat!  I love to play with the steering wheel and the keys.  Mommy's key chain is so fun because it beeps when I push it!  If I'm lucky I will sometimes set off the alarm which I think is hilarious!
I am doing a really good job at feeding myself, or at least trying!  It makes me very happy when mommy gives me a bowl of food and lets me go to town.  I of course end up with it all over me but sure love trying!
My vocabulary continues to expand and I officially have added: daddy, sissy, doggie, woof woof, and duck to the list.  I talk continuously but those are the ones mommy is sure about!
