Indentify

Madelyn loves to identify things now.
See a baby
'Baby'
See a dog
'Puppy'
See her daddy
'dadda'
See her mommy
'momma'

The list goes on....
of course the ones I listed above are her top go to identifying words.
She also likes to identify socks, shoes, and hats.


She is a growing machine these days.
When she's hungry she says 'eat'.
When she wants to play she says 'play'.
When she puts things away she says 'back'.
She constantly uses her please and thank you's for the most part.

She says 'more' and uses the sign for it.
She still says and uses the sign for please and thank you as well.

She says 'truck' and 'yuck'
She says 'rain' and 'choo-choo' for train.

She also likes to get your attention now.
Through out the day I will hear
'Momma, momma, momma...'
My response of course is 'yes, baby or angel or sweet girl?'
I get a different response each time.
Sometimes just a smile, sometimes a wave, sometimes she jabbers like she's telling me something, 
and other times she points to something like she wants to show me something.

 I can't believe how quickly they learn.
She's only 18 months!
Where has my little baby gone!!

1 1/2...not 2

If you ask Madelyn these days how old she is she says 'two'.
Hate to break it to you bebe, but no, thank goodness you are not 2 yet.

Madelyn officially turned 18 months this past weekend 
and had her 18 month well visit to the doctor yesterday.
Things went a little bit better than the last trip I guess you could say.
Instead of screaming and crying 99% of the time it was only about 90% of the time.

She did not have to have any shots this time which made it an even better visit.
She continued to cry and clap like on her last visit
which makes the nurses and doctors laugh.

Sweet bebe is growing so fast.
 Here are her 18 month stats:
Height- 31 1/2 inches (44%)
Weight- 23 lbs 4 oz (33%)

Believe it or not she's in the same percentile as her last doctors visit.
After we went and enjoyed a delicious cupcake at Smallcakes to make everything better.
Happy 18 months Madelyn Claire!

Cheese

Madelyn has learned to say 'Cheese'.


I'm not a cheek pincher, but man, if that doesn't make you want to 
pinch her cheeks I don't know what does.


Every time I pull out the camera now she says it.
Now, whether I catch it or not is the thing.
And sometimes she's a little more dramatic about it than other times.
So, smile and say 'Cheese'.

Pigtails

Yep.
I sure did.


They didn't last long, but they sure were cute.
One day.

Ribbons and Bows


M found a piece of ribbon in my office.
Naturally it's a hairbow, right?
Aren't you proud of me?
I put it on all by myself.


Wait...you're telling me it's not a hairbow?


Well, I'm gonna stand here and look cute anyway.
'Cheese'.

Messages from Daddy

Every so often we find one of these messages left for Madelyn.
Melts my heart.
He's such a good daddy and Madelyn sure does love him.

Elmo and Mickey Mouse

Or should I say 'melmo' and 'mouw'. 
These are the two shows and characters Madelyn is obsessed with right now.

All by Herself

Yep.
She put her sunglasses on all by herself.
And she is proud as punch if you couldn't tell.

Jackson and Madelyn

They sure do love each other.
 

They are the best of pals.


She says hi to him first thing every morning and hugs or kisses him at least once a day.
They are quite the pair.

What Happened?

I left her in her bed fully clothed for nap time.
And came back to find this.
