New Year

So, for the New Year, I promise that I will blog more. So far, so good. It is only the 9th day and the New Year and I have one up:-) I am aiming for 1 every two weeks. We will see how that goes.
 I was trying to upload some of Madison's current pictures on the computer and everytime I pull out the camera, she smiles and says "deese". Its pretty funny. Here are some of her recent snapshots...

In this one, her cousin, Nyeemah stole the spotlight. LOL!

 Don't let the pretty face fool you. She has been having fits lately. She will start screaming when she can't have something and will roll around on the floor. Tyson and I are pretty good at just ignoring her, but the other day, she rolled and kept rolling for about 10 feet! We couldn't help but laugh because she kept having to propel herself! I will have some good memories in the future:-)
 This toddler stage has been pretty tough. I bought Madison some big girl underpants think that if he had on underwear, she would be able to better feel the "wet sensation." I also bought the rubber pants to catch whatever comes out. Well, 2 days ago, I put them on her and she was walking around as if nothing was going on. I decided to check her and found that she had done a number 1 and 2! She then looks at me and says, "Pee-Pee?" Ugh! I hope that I don't have to change too many of thoses. It was quite disgusting. I figure if I start training early, I can take my time and be patient with the whole process.
  She has also become afraid of everything. She screams when I wash her hair, she screamed when the doctors were trying to get her height and weight, she even screamed when I was putting the rubber pants on her. If anyone has any suggestions on breaking her from this, I am all ears.
 Oh yeah, she also will not each these delicious Chicken Tenders that I made for her. I think the texture is new to her and that is why she didn't like them, but I did. Here is the recipe. Enjoy!
