Move away from the...

Maddy was down for a nap and Reagan had run upstairs to play with the girls. Reagan was looking over the railing, but was right next to Maddy's room. Jim shouted up to her "move away from maddy's room, she's sleeping". So she moved about six inches and kept talking. Jim said "farther Reagan". She moved again and said "is this far enough". Wow! I laughed. Jim just gave me a look and said "you are not helping me". Nope I wasn't. It was hilarious. He had to specifically tell her "move all the way to the bonus room.

She then ran back to the bonus room.

Patty Cake

Maddy likes to play pat-a-cake. Tonight, my parents were watching her while I worked out and they'd ask her to play and she would immediately put her hands up to clap. I love it.

You smell like poop

Reagan was going to bed and let out some gas. I mentioned that she smelled like poop - "Reagan you smell like poop!".

She immediately quipped back - "Mom, you smell like poop!"

Nice

LOUD

Maddy makes all sorts of LOUD NOISES. Oh my. She squeaks, squaks and hollers all the time and for absolutely no reason. She loves to shriek to get your reaction. It's hilarious.

Clapping

Maddy has gotten the hang of clapping. She knows that when you cheer for her, she should start clapping. Tonight she did something cute, as always, so we started clapping and said "yeaaaa Maddy". She just lit up. Her face got so bright. She smiled. She started giggling and then she started clapping. It's just way too cute.

Motoring around

Maddy is so good at plowing around the house in her walker now. She often will crawl over to it and stand up next to it as if to ask to take it out for a spin. It's cute. She just looks over, grunts and smiles as if to ask.

She is so happy to be mobile. She just doesn't stop. She'll roam by the fridge in the kitchen and pull stuff on the side of the fridge. She'll carry it around with her as she travels through the house.

Maddy loves avocado

Tonight, I got home from Reagan's music lesson and Jim was feeding Maddy. She was eating everything he put in front of her and she was a mess. She had eaten a half of an avocado, a banana, an entire container of meat sticks and some other random things. Holy cow. Her face was covered with a mix of green and brown and she was sticky. Wow.

By 8pm tonight, she was ready to go to bed. We had her in the exersaucer while we ate and she looked as if she was falling asleep while she was playing. Poor Maddy. So I got her bottle and took her upstairs. She was asleep in minutes.
