2才のお誕生日おめでとうマディソン!!/Happy 2nd Birthday Madison!!

今日はマディソンの２才の誕生日の日です。そして、今日はアイダホクラインの最後の日、ベガスに向けて出発する前に一緒にお祝いをする事が出来ました...：）
Today we were able to celebrate Madison's official 2nd birthday with our Idaho family before they moved onto their next destination of Las Vegas...:-)

２年前の今日朝１１時１９分マディソン　イワイ　クラインが生まれました...
3147gと47.6cmの元気な赤ちゃん!!
2 years ago at 11:19am Madison Iwai Klein came to this world...
6lb 15oz and 18.75" healthy baby!!
こんなに小さかったなんて信じられない!
I can't believe how tiny she was!
そして去年の今日初めてのケーキを食べました...：）
A year ago, Madison enjoyed her first cake...:-)
１才検診も異常なし!
1 year check up checked out great!
ショートヘアがとっても可愛かったな〜!やっぱり赤ちゃんは髪伸びるのが早い：）
She had such a cute boy short hair! Can't believe how much her hair has grown in a year:-)
だって最近はこんなに長〜い！
Madison's hair is sooo long today!
ミッキーとお茶を飲んでいるマディソン...：）
Madison enjoyed having a tea party with her buddy Mickey...:-)
可愛すぎて見とれていたので少しビデオ撮るの遅くなっちゃったけどミッキーに自分のミルクをあげているマディソン...：）キュート！！
We may have been a little slow to start filming since we just wanted to enjoy the cutest moment but Dave and I got to see Madison talking to Mickey as she fed Mickey a bottle of milk...:-)

私達の住んでいるマンションの責任者シェリルが凄い良い人で住んでいる人全員(大人)の誕生日の日にカードと風船をくれるんだけど、マディソンは特にシェリルのお気に入りなので特別にお届け物が届いていました!
Our building director Sheryl gives every resident(mostly adults) a birthday card and balloons on their birthday and since she really likes Madison she got one also this morning!

そして教会に行く前に特別にママとパパからのプレゼントを開けさせてあげる事に...新しい絵本をミサの間に読める様に...もうすっかりプレゼント開けるの得意になりました!
And we gave her a couple of birthday presents to open so she can take her new books to read at Church... She is getting pretty good at opening presents now!

教会に行く前にいとこのお揃いドレスの写真を最後に撮る事にしました...グレースがいつも通りモデルやる気マンマン...：）
Before we left for Church we had our last matching dress photo session... Grace again wins the best model award...:-)

マディソンの誕生日ケーキはもちろんアイスクリームケーキ...：）
Her birthday cake is of course ice cream cake(white with Cookies'n Cream)...:-)

With this being Madison's second cake in a week she got really good at saying "More cake please" in her super cute Madison voice. She also kept saying "Happy Day" instead of Happy Birthday which was stupendous!!

最近自分で全部食べるって言うのが流行っているマディソン、でも結構上手でしょ：）
She is all about feeding herself lately and you know what? she does pretty good:-)

誕生日おめでとうマディソン!!毎日毎日マディソンがすくすく育っているのを見られるのがとっても嬉しいよ！でもそんなに急がなくていいんだからね：）愛してるよマディソン！
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADISON!! WE LOVE YOU AND WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE WATCHING YOU GROW AND LEARN NEW THINGS TO DO EVERY DAY! BUT PROMISE YOU WON'T GROW UP TOO FAST, PRETTY PLEASE!?

２３ヶ月の娘.../Our 23 month old daughter...

マディソンはスーパー速度で成長してしまいあっという間に、マディソンの２歳の誕生日まで１ヶ月になってしまいました!２年前のこの月はリンダからベイビーシャワーをして貰ったり、腰がとーっても痛かったり、お腹が凄い固くなったりと大変なときでした...それからもう２年経ったなんて、信じられない!
Madison is growing up waaaay too quick and we are now 1 month away from her 2nd birthday! I remember 2 years ago at this time Dave's mom, Linda, was throwing us a lovely baby shower, my back was sooo in pain everyday, my doctor kept telling me I will go into labor any day and getting Braxton Hicks at work all the time... Wow, I can't believe it's been 2 years already!

２カ国語話せる様に頑張っている我が娘は毎日どんどん話しています...マディソンの最近のお気に入りの言葉は“オーメン!”、“ヤッキー!”、“待って!”...そして、あんまり役に立たないんだけどよく話す言葉は、“エルモ!”、“アビー!”、“クッキー!”、“ビッグバード!”、“オスカー!”、“バート!”、と“ミッキー!!”です...ミッキー以外の名前は全部セサミストリートのキャラの名前です...
Our "hope to be a bilingual" girl is definitely talking so much more everyday... Her new favorites are "Oh Man!", "Yucky!" and "Matte!(Wait!)"...not the best choice of words... but her better options are "Elmo!", "Abby!", "Cookie!", "Big Bird!", "Oscar!", "Bert!" and "Mickey!!" No need to explain what those words are...

そして、パパから受け継いだ、どこでも教会でも歌いたい時に何でも大声で歌う性格は凄い可愛いんだけど恥ずかしいときも...セサミストリートのテーマ曲も２３ヶ月にしては上手に歌える様になってきました...教会で大声でエルモーとか言い出すときも、今はダメって言うんだけどとっても可愛すぎてなかなか難しいんだよね：）
And she has inherited her Daddy's no reason to sing it, but sing it anyway and sing it in public thing so she sings during Church service (usually when we are singing so that's good but sometimes during a prayer or scripture reading...) You can imagine how hard it is to make her stop singing because it's just sooooo adorable! She loves the theme song of Sesame Street so she would sing that at home and surprisingly she can sing pretty good for a 23 month old!
And last Sunday during a prayer she started to say "Daddy", "Mommy", "Elmo", "Abby", etc... like she was naming people she was thankful for, or something and I had to make her stop because she was a bit too loud. SUPER cute though:-)

昨日の夜、マディソンの超年上の彼氏のブライアンと一緒にディズニーランドに行ってきました。
Last night we went to Disneyland with our friend and Madison's not so age appropriate boyfriend, Brian so Dave and I can ride some rides together while Brian watched Madison...

ブライアンがマディソンを見ていてくれたお陰でデイブとインディアナジョーンズに乗って来る事が出来ました...ジムとアリソンがもうすぐこれに初めて乗れるのが楽しみ、凄い気に入るだろうな...そして、出口に向かって歩いている時に写真を一緒に撮っているミッキーを発見、マディソンが行きたそうにしていたのでもしかしてと思って試してみる事に...やった〜！泣きもせずミッキーにハグまでしたマディソン、成長したな−!せっかくなのでブライアンに家族写真をお願いしました！
We had a lot of fun and Dave an I got to ride the Indiana Jones ride which we are sooo excited for Jim and Alyson to ride when they are here in a few weeks. As we were exiting the park we spotted Mickey posing for pictures and since Madison was sooo excited to see him and didn't look too afraid we decided to give it a try... SUCCESS! She did not cry and she even hugged Mickey and everything! Brian was able to take a nice family picture for us and oh I LOVE my Iphone4 with its' cool camera app!

上の写真はフラッシュ無しでちょっと暗いんだけど、私のアイフォンはフラッシュ要らないと思ったのかな？でもカメラアップを使って明るくする事ができました：）
I know those pictures are a bit dark... I had my flash on Auto and I guess it decided flash was not needed! But then this great camera app's back light feature on my phone brought it back a bit:-)

そして昨日の朝海辺でお友達と遊んだときの写真です...マディソンは水が大好き!!ジャッカリンとリアムが家に帰った後プールに入って遊ぶ事が出来ました。マディソンはプールの入り口にある階段みたいな所から私に目掛けてジャンプするのが大好きなのでそれを３０分ぐらいしてお昼の時間...腕に浮き輪をしてるから、受け逃しても大丈夫だからね...：）
And here are some pictures from yesterday's playdate on a beach...Madison is becoming quite the waterbug!! After Jacqueline and Liam left Madison and I got to visit our pool and it was perfect! All she wanted to do was jump into the pool from those under water steps at the corner of pool:-) Don't worry she wears one of those arm floaty things in case I can't catch her right away...
