Random Maddy stuff... no particular order. I know I haven't posted a lot of this lately.
She's trying to do summersaults without her hands. I don't know why. I think she got it from the intro to sesame street. All I know is that she's going to kill herself. On that note she's starting to climb as well on anything and everything. Now she's climbed before, but now she's a real dare devil. And also on that note, she wants to climb the slide without being spotted. Now, I normally stand behind her with an arm on her back, but not holding her. I mean, she is a bit clumsy. But now, if I look over the deck and am preoccupied she'll run to the slide and try to get up it as fast as I can before I can get to her. If I try to spot her I hear, "Nooo, nooo!" My little independent one.
Her vocabulary is growing by leaps and bounds. Every day I hear so many new words coming out of her mouth (most of them are good, really). She's labeling a ton of things and responding verbally to actions around her. It's fun to watch.
She's totally turned into a girlie girl. She loves lipgloss and powder (I'll sneak some on her while I'm putting on makeup), playing dress up and notices jewelry I wear. She'll brush her hair and my hair and when I ask her how it looks she'll look at me for five or six seconds at a time and says, "Cute".
Her latest favorite things: Bouncing balls, playing chalk, jumping in hopscotch, doing summersaults, riding in her wagon, terrifying bugs, boas, weeding the grass (I kid you not), brushing her teeth in front of the mirror, Elmo, her brainy baby Animal book, singing the Alphabet song and number song, dancing, playing hide under the blanket on mommy, being chased and tickled (she is NOT her mother's daughter), Italian lemon ice, mini M&Ms (she's discovered the joys of chocolate), mint herbal tea, water and last but certainly not least, meeting daddy at the front door after work.
Whew, no wonder she's tired, huh? (This is how I found her today in the living room about 10 minutes before nap.)

What a cute picture! Did you move her into her bedroom?

I did move her to her room, Claire. She slept through the whole thing. :)
