Last week:

Noooo WAY, Mister P! He sooo was getting ready to squirt me :)



Monday, waiting for me to get her up from her nap.



Today, drinking juice and reading her new animal book.


Posing for the camera instead of crying because she wants it!

Well, I have two videos I'd like to post, but the files are both too big and won't upload, so I'll just have to tell you about them instead! Maddie knows her ABC's and her numbers 1-6 & 8 (7 she thinks is an "L" and she turns 9 upside down into a 6). She gets a few letters confused with another, such as P & R or V & Y, but it's still nuts to see her go through her alphabet! She's also learned many more animal names (like "Macaw", "Dolphin" and "Beetle") and can make most of their sounds. She's getting really good at communicating, too. She says, "Fank ooo" for thank you. She will tell me if she too hot or cold (she says, "Cold! Buuuh!" which translates to "Cold! Burrrrr!") She can name all the parts of her body, has names for all her books (so she can tell me which bedtime story she wants), and can say, "I Love You". Of course, it sounds like "Eye-uffooo", but I know what she means. The other day while I was pulling her pants on, she leaned over to give me a kiss and then says, "Uggg" and hugged me. It was the cutest thing ever! This morning in bed, she was naming the Sesame Street characters on her pajamas: Ehmo, Kuk-eee, Ah-ka, and Bik Burp, also known as Elmo, Cookie, Oscar, & Big Bird.

Anyhow, I could sit and write all night about her, but I'm pretty tired and she's bound to be up in the night.
