Vocab, a.k.a. "Madelynese"

Last night, Maddie and I were going through the alphabet. I'm singing, "A, B, C, D, E..." and she says, "Ffff"! I have thee smartest kid on the planet, my friends.

Yellow ("lellow-o")

Happy

Yes ("yaah")

Sock

Eye

Nose

Cake

Yuck ("yutch")

Grampa ("pah-paw")

MoMo

Mama

Oh man! ("oh maaah")

Up ("uppey")

Down

Out

and, "Nooo Nooo Nooo!" She's really good at that one!

Baby's 1st Sprinkler

Intro to Shapes

Stars and Circles

Few Words on Film...

At least I got a few seconds of cooperation before she wanted the camera!

Egg Hunts and "More"...

Not Your Average Diggle...

Tickling Toon Puppy's feet...

"Diggle" has evolved into "tickle". She has also said:

"Baby"

"Nooo"

"Moh" (more)

"Dadeee" (Daddy)

"Puh-Puh" (mashed potatoes)

"Uch" (ouch!)

"Aatch" (juice)

"Ahh-Ohhh" (Uh-Oh!)

Tickling is her latest favorite thing to do. She tickles everyone (except Uncle D), she tickles all of her stuffed animals, her rubber bath toys, characters in her books, our dog...she gets a real kick out of it! Pretty soon, she'll get to come tickle Great Grandma & Grandpa, too. Hopefully my other Grandparents (you know who you are) will be able to make it to Kentucky. I've got a card for you, Grump, that's been sitting on the counter for 2 weeks. For the life of me, I can't ever remember to get stamps. I've also got birthday cards for Grandma O & Grandpa C (from February! How bad am I??), three Easter cards, and thank you notes that I've been meaning to send out since September.

...ahhh-ohhhh

Rehearsal

After seeing (and loving) the Easter Bunny, I thought we should practice for Maddie's 1st Easter Egg hunt! The object is to find and get as many stuffed, Easter-themed animals into the basket as we can. Then, I just decided to try to get some cute photos :)
