Talking Maddy and Other Updates

Madison's baby speak has become very deliberate. While she can't verbalize words to say what she wants, she can certainly make sounds at the right time to tell us what she needs.

She currently LOVES the Leap Frog Drum. It's a toy she inherited from Emily that counts forward every time you hit it. Madison would laugh and play with that for hours if we let her.

Maddy is moving faster and faster every day. She still has yet to perform a traditional crawl but as quickly as she is moving with the butt-scoot, she may never.

This is going to be Maddy's first Christmas and the tree really grabs her attention. If only she could pull the gate down...

Maddy is a champ in the bath tub knocking down every bottle of shampoo I leave in reach. She has yet to complain when I dump the pitcher of water on her head to wash her hair.

The big one year birthday is on teh horizon. With all of the crazyness of holiday planning, we are finding it a challenge to plan her party as well. The weather won't be as nice as Emily's (April vs January) so we're moving it indoors to our house. It should be a great time!
