"Morning" coffee snob

So, little "sassy pants" Madeline is 19 months old!! I know, can you believe it...we sure can't. And as sassy and ornery as she is, she is just as cute and lovable as can be. She had a check-up yesterday and is doing fabulous. 30 pounds and 34 inches tall. 95%ile for both height and weight.....man we brew 'em big in our little family! Her Dr. was very impressed with all that Madeline will eat, all the words that she can say (not to mention sentences) and we left the office with just 1 shot (hep A) and a few yummy jelly beans. Next well baby visit in August!

And each and every day brings something new in Madeline's world. She is constantly amazing us with what she will say, something new she will eat (this kid loves grilled tomatoes with salmon...crazy!!!) or how much more independent she is getting. This morning, when I went in to get her, she stood up in her crib and said "morning" all chipper and cheerful. Now, that is usually my line...that is what I say to her when I walk in....not today, she beat me to it ;)! And upon leaving the produce stand we went to today, she said "Bye bye, see you later" to the woman behind the counter....such a little sweetie Madeline is! :)

And, big brother Zachary is doing great! We've had our friend, Kristin's, dog, Gus, here with us yesterday afternoon and again today (he is a little under the weather and we are helping out so she can go to work" and Zachary just loves Gus. He is currently (as I type this) sitting in the living room next to Gus, petting him and telling him that he is going to be just fine and that he is Zachary's best friend. So cute!!! No, no chance of a dog in our family...not without a fenced, much bigger yard....so this is a great outlet for both me and Zachary. Gus is a very good dog and we really enjoy him being here!

And today, I stopped at Wawa for a cup of coffee and I can't believe that I actually found myself disappointed in the weak coffee that I purchased. I am very new to the land of the coffee drinker so normally I can't tell the good from the bad. But lately, we've had some pretty darn good coffee here in our house and evidently, I have acquired a taste for that good, yummy, dark roasted beverage that we brew and am now saying "yuck" to gas station coffee. Ugh, I have turned into one of "those" people...you know who they are....the "coffee snobs". *sigh*

So, a random jump around post, I know, but it's my blog I can write what I want :). Check back for pictures soon! :) I some good ones to share....until then....chow!
