Maddie & Evelyn: New York Fun

Maddie and I were heading up to New York for a baby shower weekend. It is all Maddie talked about for days and days. One day she told me she was getting ready to go on the airplane to New York. This is what I found. I told her she did not have enough accessories for New York. :)

We left on a very late flight to New York. Maddie was the best she has ever been! She pulled her own bag, walked perfectly and was very well behaved. She was seriously the most perfect thing EVER! Thank you Maddie!

She asked for a muffin and well ...

After all the eating, Maddie helped air traffic control bring the planes in.

On the flight, Maddie set up shop. Finished her muffin and read a few magazines. She even let me sit and read my magazine. First time EVER.

Neesh picked us up and took us home. It was nice seeing the city at night.

Maddie did not see much of it. She fell asleep on the way home and then stayed asleep the rest of the night. She was worn out.

The next morning, Maddie decided that Manish needed some babies to sleep with. He is less than pleased with this photo, but it must go up. The joy of being an uncle!

Amy and Maddie played and played. They got down the Russian doll ...

ate some toast and cereal ...

Then Amy got a box of old dress shoes out. Well ... Maddie was in heaven!

Too funny ...

Then Maddie and Katie watched a little Toy Story and cuddled. Ahh ... aunties!

That day we went shopping, had lunch and just a bunch of girlie time stuff. It was great! Amy and Neesh watched Maddie Friday night so mommy could go out on the town! Thank you!

The next morning, Nana and Teddy came over. Nana had made Maddie a bunch of princess dresses and bows. Maddie was pumped!

Maddie and Teddy then had some much needed time together.

They drew ...

and played with stickers.

Finally, it was time for us to get ready for the big event. We all got dressed up and went to celebrate the boy to be!

Maddie was such a great helper! She was in charge of the almonds (which she LOVED to eat).

She was very meticulous about it ...

Amy did exactly what a mother to be is supposed to do at her shower ... relax!

Amy and Maddie then checked out the decorations ... they approved.

Awwww ...

All the girls awaiting a boy ... what are we going to do with him?! I think he may wear a few princess outfits if his cousin has anything to do with it!

There was a wonderful playroom. Maddie would hang out at the party for a bit and then head back to the playroom. She loved going with Katie because she is ... well ... pretty silly.

Teddy drove her fast ... as is expected.

Then she gave Amy and Neesh some love.

Then some for Nana.

After the shower, silly Katie squished Maddie.

After the party, Maddie was worn out.

I let her sleep for a little bit longer but needed to wake her by 5:30. She was less than pleased with me. She found comfort with her Nana, though. They snugglebuggled up and she was fine.

Maddie then helped the parents-to-be open their gifts. Maddie is very good at this.

Maddie found the best gift box ... yes, people ... that would be a Tiffany's box. Who knew they sold baby shower gifts! :)

After a long day, Maddie, her auntie and her cousin snuggled a little bit.

The next morning, Amy needed a little rest. Maddie helped.

Maddie then relaxed with a toddler game app on Nana's iPad. Pretty high tech little one.

We left Amy to nap and went to the playground right next to their place. It had some of the best slides I have ever seen! Maddie was really brave and even went down the tallest one! She loved it!
