December

By the time December came to an end we had a 14 month old on our hands! Let me share a little about our big girl...

She continues to be silly! On this day she managed to wiggle partially out of her shirt. What in the world?!

Madelyn finds the funniest places to hang out! Playing in our closet is a daily activity. She just clears things away and makes herself at home. Shoes and belts prove to be fun toys!

Some of you have seen "the look." Madelyn began to find that she can be expressive with her face. It's something new each week it seems. Cracks me up! Steven calls this "Blue Steel."

I mentioned she sets up shop wherever!

The most fun activity for Madelyn is hiding! Oh yes, she just backs into some little place and waits until we come find her. So cute!

Teacher here is so excited that Madelyn loves to read! She'll sit down and look at books anytime, any place. She likes to cuddle and read with Mommy and Daddy too.

Other 14 month notes:

-all 4 molars are in! that mouth is getting full!

-she's beginning to repeat words more often; usually gets that first syllable right :)

-ear infection #1 was no fun :(

-she did great matching people with names when we were with family for the holidays; she knows who's who!

-"where?" when we ask where something is, she puts her hands up and sort of shrugs as if she's saying "I dont' know...where?!" so funny!

It seems like after she turned one, Madelyn grows up quicker everyday. Better get used to it, huh?!
