Three!

As normal it has been much too long since I have last updated this blog. It is now December over 3 months since I've last updated this blog. Where time goes I'm just not sure. Things have been pretty busy the last few months with a few trips both planned and unplanned but we have made our way through. That being said the main thing in this post is that Maddie is now 3 years old. Sometimes it shocks me how fast the time is going and how much of a little girl she has become. We have been pretty lucky in that we didn't go through the normal "terrible twos" and kept her pretty tantrum free. That's not to say she didn't have any tantrums but I think we've managed to keep them to a minimum because she's so verbal. Now I've heard that 3 can actually be worse than 2 because they are asserting their independence but we shall see.

We still struggle a bit with sleep. Going to bed is fine most nights but we still struggle with waking in the middle of the night. We have had more nights where she does sleep through the night but right now she's got a cold/cough which wakes her up. But I have to say if that is the only thing that we really struggle with I think we are pretty lucky.

About a week and a half before Maddie's birthday we got some photos taken by a friend of ours who is a photographer. Like always she did a great job. Here are a few of my favorite Maddie ones. I can't believe how much she's grown. And as you can see she really is out of the toddler stage and into little girl mode. I can't wait to see what the next year has in store for us.
