It's grey and rainy here today--the ground is just mush and completely saturated. Maddy was fussy this morning and I'm pretty sure it's her teeth. She refused about four different foods for lunch, so that was frustrating. But she was a lot of fun after that. We played and colored (something new for her) before she decided it was a good idea to eat the crayons before I took them away from her (which made her quite mad). But she's giving hugs lately, which is really cute and just melts my heart. She loves to be chased and to chase me in return. She's been snuggling her stuffed animals a ton, too.
It surprises me how many words she understands because when I ask her where things are she goes straight to them, "Pillow, lamb, milk, cherrios, outside, cup, teddy..." And she understands basic directions like, "Come here. Don't put that in your mouth. Can mommy help?" She's growing so fast!
I've done two loads of laundry, cleaned all the bathrooms, took around the trash cans and back again. WHEW. It's fun to have a holiday but it's a pain to catch back up with all is said and done.
I received a cute present in the mail from my friend and her daughter Chloe! I got a cute stationary set and I'm not sure what Maddy received yet because I will let her open it when she is up from her nap. Thanks Joy!
Well, I have some more stuff I want to get done before Maddy is up. Adios!
