Maddie turned TWO!!

Monday, Maddie turned 2 years old. She was super excited from the moment she woke up. Alex went to get her out of her bed that morning and she immediately said, "my birthday?". She was ready. Her, Ashton and I just did some random things all day and planned to save the birthday festivities for when Alex got home from work. Well, Ashton just couldn't stand it. He was probably more excited than Maddie. While she napped, he kept asking if it was time to wake her up. Our baby monitors are also a two way radio. Ashton knows that you can talk in to them and Maddie can hear you. However, he doesn't know that you have to push a button to do so. He so desperately wanted her awake that he went in to our bedroom where her monitor is and started talking in to it trying to wake her up. He told her to wake up, that he had a big present for her and it was time to play. He kept on and on while Alex and I peeked around the corner watching him. It was adorable!!

Finally, she woke up and Ashton was ecstatic!! We couldn't get her shoes on fast enough. He took her outside and showed her the new jeep "like Mr. Erik's" that he had gotten her. They played around riding it until the rain started and then it was a fight to get them back inside.

After dinner, we enjoyed some cupcakes to celebrate. (We're saving the cake for her party.) She loved it. We had to sing "Happy Birthday to You!" at least four or five times. She'd eat a little of her cupcake then say, "sing again" and we'd have to do it all over again. It was cute. All and all Maddie had a super birthday and now she can't wait for the party on Saturday.
