Happy 19 months to Maddie! I started this post over a month ago for 18 months, but have gotten behind!
So, hence my title, Can't keep up! But, I also meant it as I can't keep up with Maddie either! She is everywhere and into everything! But, that's ok, she's growing up and figuring a lot of things out on her own!
So, here we go, some updates on my little princess:
Maddie, you are wearing size 2T pants, and a lot of 3T tops.
You are in size 7-8 shoes.
You are wearing size 6 diapers.
You are loving Mickey Mouse, Veggie Tales and Full House.
You LOVE to eat! You ate 3/4 of a muffin this morning AND oatmeal! You love your oatmeal!
Some of your favorite foods right now: any kind of fruit, carrots, peas, cheesesticks, yogurt, cottage cheese (a new favorite), hot dogs and now corn dogs, any kind of pasta, bread and pretty much anything else... my list would be shorter if i put what you DIDN"T like!
She just recently has learned to open the freezer door(side by side) and ask for "ice cream" cause you can see it. I need to move it down to the other freezer...
anyways...there are many new words that you are saying too--I think only me and daddy can understand, but still, you are trying to say more and more! Your new favorite: "ights" (lights) you LOVE Christmas lights-- you asked to turn our tree on at 7am this morning! we love to drive around and show you the lights.
You have showed all the signs for potty training, so we pulled out the chair, and got the pull ups, but... now, you have to learn to sit on the potty without your pants and not scream when we put the pull up on! Guess we're not completely ready for the big potty yet afterall, but it's a start!
You are finally wanting to be part of the "action" when we go to people's houses and go play with the other kids. It takes you a while to warm up, but after about 15 min, you are ready to go play!
You have finally moved up to the toddler room at church and will cry for 10 min after we leave, but then really enjoy it, instead of crying the whole 45 min in the nursery room.
Your hair is getting long and you will let me put a clip in it, only if we are going outside and i put your hat over it, so you forget it's there. You have a little spot of hair on the top of your head that won't stay down that drives mommy nuts!
You love to play with my utensils and pots and pans. Last night, I was making dinner and turned and you had opened the bottom drawer of the stove and were sitting in it! If it was big enough, you would be in my cabinets too!
You are my little explorer and climber!
Most of all, you love to give kisses and hugs and cuddle and say i love you, (which still sounds like "i know"- so cute and sweet)
We look forward to Christmas with you and look forward to the upcoming months as you get closer to turning 2!!(eekkkk...where did the time go?!?!)
Merry Christmas!
