18-months old and I can...
- Feed myself with a spoon and a fork.
- Walk, run, climb, and jump. (It's my favorite!)
- Pet Sadie and Felix, sometimes more gently than others.
- Take my shoes off.
- Point to a picture of my family or something in a book when you ask me, "Where's _____?" The other night she found all her relatives in pictures on the refrigerator when Daddy asked her!
- Talk. I have so many words that when Dr Brandon asked Mommy how many words I have, Mommy had a hard time pinning down a number.
My favorite new foods are...
- Corn on the cob, peas, and baked beans.
- Turkey tenderloin and couscous.
- Great Grandma Gilbert's strawberry shortcake.
Happy 18-month birthday, Madelyn. I don't know how or when it happened but you've turned from a baby into a little girl!
With so many words in her vocabulary, do I foresee a special guest blogpost written by Madelyn soon? Speaking of, Griff has a lot of words, too, (though I would be hard-pressed to pin down a number) so perhaps we'll see some content from the dad perspective?
ReplyDeleteIt will be unbelievable how many words Madelyn learns from now until her 2nd birthday! I remember reading about it in child development classes and really impressed me!
ReplyDeleteMadelyn is indeed a little girl now. But she will always be your baby and Daddy's little girl forever :)
As soon as I can get some quality "Madelyn speak" she'll make a guest appearance on the blog.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for Madelyn Speak!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence, Mrs. Gilbert's strawberry shortcake is one of my new favorite foods too!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for "Madelyn Speak" and possible "Griff Says" feature.
