Madelynn at 18 months

Madelynn is now a nursery kid. We are really happy when our kids reach the 18 month marker because then it means the end of roaming the halls for the last 2 hours of church. We are also really happy because Madelynn is LOVING nursery. She loves playing with her little friends and singing songs. So everyone is happy! Maddie had her 18 month check up and was a champ. She got two shots and didn't cry at all. I was really shocked because she can be quite sensitive to pain, but she did great! Her weight is in the 50th percentile at 23.5 lbs and her height is around the 70th percentile- I think around 33 inches.






Something I think is really funny about Maddie is that she loves her crib! She loves to sleep in her crib and loves to play in her crib. Sometimes she will ask to get into her crib just to play and will stay in there playing happily for about 20 minutes. She also loves books. Often we will realize she is missing in the house and look around and find her in a room just looking at different books.




She also loves her Grant. She likes to copy him (for better or worse) and likes to "mommy" him. Often she'll wag her finger at him and say "no, no, no". Grant does have to be careful because if she gets mad at him she will try to bite him. If he is fast enough to get away then she will try to bite the carpet or the closest door handle.



Maddie's favorite things are her pink blanket (aka snuggly buggly), baby dolls, sweeping the floor, pushing strollers, swinging, going down slides, having her hands traced, and snuggling with mama.


Maddie's favorite foods: ravioli, macaroni and cheese, oranges, and anything with sugar.


Maddie's favorite words: Mama, Dada, more, no, cheese, toes, teeth, night night, goose. (She is trying new words all the time and has about 30 + words that we can understand.)
