Our precious Maddie is a year and a half old!
Hug the bear
Kiss the bear
Ok, are we done yet?!
I'm sooo over this!
Maddie is our climber!! Turn around for a second and she is standing on top of the table saying "ta da!" with pride. Fortunately she is good at climbing on AND off of things. She is much more agile than Sophi ever was and has great balance. She loves to go to the playground and climb with the big kids.
Just in the last few weeks her talking has taken off. She can mimic almost anything you say. A few of the words she says right now are Shiloh, Sophi, Momma, Dadda, ta-da, thank you, night night, lovie, paci, puppy, george (for Curious George her favorite show), snack, cracker, oatmeal, and the list could go on and on! I love hearing her sweet voice!
She is also still our drama queen! She is very quick to throw a fit but can also be pretty quick to stop! She is FULL of personality!
(No!)
She still loves to read and can now point to and name many objects in her books. Other things she loves to do right now are play ring around the rosy (especially with Shiloh!), chase Sophi around the house, and jump off anything and everything as well as dancing to any kind of music!
This reminds me of her daddy!!
She has started walking on her tip toes all the time!
She still has bright blue eyes and her hair continues to grow long, dark and curly!
She and Sophi are becoming very close friends and while she still does not want Sophi helping her with anything, she does enjoy playing with Sophi and still wants to be doing whatever her sister is doing. She still throws a fit when we drop Sophi off at school because she does not get to go too.
A few other things about her right now:
-her favorite thing to eat is yogurt. She also loves cheese, crackers, oatmeal, most fruit and fruit snacks. She does not like vegatbles of any kind (besides peas and green beans which she is allergic to of course), casseroles of most kinds, and most chocolate.
-She takes one 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon and has to have her lovey and paci in order to sleep
-Not only is she allergic to eggs, lagumes, and nuts, she is also allergic to wool, grass, dog saliva and cats.
-she has started becoming interested in babies which will prove helpful in our future!
-she loves doing puzzles and playing pretend with food
-she loves animals and really enjoys petting the kangaroos at the zoo
