Madeline has the best personality. She loves to put on a show for everyone and she loves attention! She loves music and to dance, to be outside, she will put away anything if we start singing "Gently put the _______________ away,.....", if I ask her to throw something away she will carry it to the laundry room and throws it in the trashcan. She really likes to help me clean and I always let her get involved. I will hand her a tiny broom, or a little cloth and she will start wiping down her little play kitchen, our refrig, or dish washer.
Very, Very loving. Loves to give hugs and kisses, a lot! Takes after her Daddy and is very, very social and full of energy. She does not want to miss out. She is strong willed and is not afraid to throw a fit if she does not get her way.
Eating out has become more difficult because she wants to be down exploring and playing.
Tons of teeth. Her bottom molars are completely in and her top molars are partially in.
Favorite words: Puppy; hot (if something is hot she says hot and then blows on it to cool it off); cold; baba (bottle); up; down; uh oh; baby; Thank you; Abby; No; Pucci; Lululululu. When we ask what does a train say she answers: Chooo, Chooooo. She tries to repeat everything we say. She has a big stuffed snake toy and makes the hissing snake noise when we mention it or she sees it. She can say other words, but those are her favorites.
Loves school. Ben puts her down when they get in her classroom and she starts playing. Same at the church nursery. Has not cried or clinge to us when we take her.
Favorite foods are: Apple sauce, strawberries and watermelon. She is a great eater, but these are the ones she tries to climb into the refrig to get herself. Does not like white potatoes and is not a huge meat eater. She likes Salmon. Only drinks water out of her sippee cup and will only drink milk out of a bottle. Loves to eat. I feel like I am constantly making meals and snacks all day. Loves to feed Pucci and Lulu her left overs. She claps when she is all done and has started picking up her plate and handing it to me. This takes the guessing game out of if she is full or not.
Started hitting and pinching. She makes the funniest face when she pinches. Her face says, I am pinching as hard as possible. I tell her that hurts, etc... but I really want to laugh. She makes very dramatic faces. Loves to make her funny face.
When we say lets go outside, she runs to get her shoes and then sits down and sticks her foot up for us to put her shoe on. She loves to put mommy and daddy's shoes on and walks around the house.
I ask if she has a dirty diaper and she grabs her diaper. Too much information, but she has become very interested in me going to the restroom and will follow me and starts saying pee pee.
Does not like having her teeth brushed. Wants to do it herself, but we have to do it first in order to get her teeth clean.
Loves to climb.
Sleeps in her crib at night and for naps! Sleeps 10 hours at night and takes a nap around 12:30 pm and naps for about 2 hours.
Loves her bath and playing at the swimming pool.
I am biased, but she is a very smart and bright little girl.
As always, she has brought so much joy into our lives. We love her soooo much!
