Madeline has hit an incredibly fun age. She is now 18 months old, and she is absolutely hilarious. She has a few new "tricks" that she is doing these days that just bring a big old smile to my face:
If you ask her "how does a ghost go" she will cover her eyes and then do a really fast, surprise "Boo!" It's so funny because she says "boo" with a little southern twang for some reason. Too cute!
She is also all about "eskimo kisses" or rubbing noses. She will come up and climb in your lap just to do that. Melts your heart.
She says the word "dude." Cracks me up every time.
She likes to "swim" in the bath tub when the water is going out. She lays on her back and swishes her head back and forth and kicks her feet. Have no idea why or where this idea came from.
She thinks her potty chair is a great toy box and/or place to hide things.
We are on a continuous rotation of DVD's these days: Nemo, "Mermaid," and Madagascar. Her Shrek addiction seems to have died down.
I think the best part now though is that she has definite opinions about what she wants to eat, what she wants to do, who she wants to hold her or give her a bath. She will tell you too. It's so funny to see her assert herself. Sometimes she actually has an opinion about her clothes, which tells me I am in for some fun days ahead.
She is very good and saying "no." Especially when she is sitting in time out and I ask her if she is sorry or if she is going to behave now, "No, mom, No." Nice. 18 months old and already a rebel!
Anyhow, she is such a trip and I just love watching her figure things out on her own and form her own opinions and ideas. It's amazing. It really makes me look forward to the new little one and doing it all over again.
