Maddy turned 19 months old today. This past month I swear her vocabulary has quadrupled. She talks constantly! She is getting much better at sentences and often uses them to tell us what she is doing (I give Elmo kiss), where she is going(I go read book) or other interesting facts (I got bugars in my nose). My nephew Michael was potty training earlier this month and when he went poop on the potty it was a HUGE deal. Unfortunately poop has now become a favorite word. If she sees someone going to the bathroom you are pooping, if a baby is on a changing table they are pooping, if Nola goes outside she is pooping. We are hoping whatever she loves about this word will wear off soon.
Maddy has also become pretty good at her colors and loves to read Brown Bear, Brown Bear and name all of the animals and their colors. If she sees a color that confuses her she calls it pink.
She has also become aware of items of clothing that she is wearing (Maddy's pants) and then will come to see if you have those clothes on too. This sometimes can cause a meltdown if you do not have the same item. This happened to Daddy the other day when he did not have a pretty (clip) in his hair. Needless to say Daddy wore a clip in his hair for part of the day and Mommy forgot to remind him to take it out before he went outside to mow the grass.
The last couple of weeks Mad has been practicing her Alphabet song and she almost has the whole thing. She sometimes get to QRS and gets stuck but will skip that part and then say WXYZ. Sadly her cute "now my no uh EEEs" has changed to ABCs. Why do they have to grow so fast! We have also let Maddy experiment with play doh this month and she loves to squish it. Daddy makes snakes for her that she flies in the air saying "ssssss". I don't know any snakes that fly but it's her game. She has only tasted the play doh twice and quickly discovered it tastes pretty bad. She continues to love to color and likes us to write letters and shapes for her. If you ask her to draw a circle she does a pretty darn good job trying. She does make lots of lines which I assume she thinks I am calling lions because she roars while she makes them.
Our girl is changing fast these days and we can't get over what a sponge for information she is! We also hear phrases we say come right back at us. In the car she likes to listen to her CD of kids songs but doesn't get why there is a 10 second delay between songs. During this 10 second delay she says "again, again, again, again...)until the next song comes on. The other day we were driving and the song break came and she said "again" then stopped and in a high pitched voice said "just a second". Can you guess what Daddy and I say to her to stop the "agains".
Maddy is such a joy to our lives and we can never guess what new adventure she will take us and we love that!
