Madison 20 and 21 Months

Our little Madison is growing up so fast...Here are some of her changes over the last couple of months.

Madi still gives us the "cheeser" grin, although not quite as often as she did a few months ago.

She still loves her dolls and rocks them, cuddles them, and tucks them in. She is also starting to learn how to dress and undress them. She is excited to figure out how to zip and unzip, snap and unsnap and put on and off her clothes.

Madison wants to be just like mommy and daddy...here she is "playing" x-box with daddy. She had to have her own controller and head set, just like daddy.

When we rearranged furniture to decorate for Christmas, we created a fort for the kids to play in...complete with tunnel...the kids loved it!

Madison is great with her sister and cousin. She has her moments of course, but she is usually very sweet and loving to them. For a week or two she would go up and push them over just so she could give them a hug to tell them she was sorry...she now knows that she can give them "loves" without hurting them...good thing!

Madison received a training potty for Christmas, and she is loving learning how to use it...we haven't had any success yet...but she is loving getting undressed and sitting on it. It is pretty funny.

Madison loves to help out. She takes dirty diapers to the trash, brings her sister her bottle, and does pretty much what we ask her too. She watches us learn how to cook and clean and tries to help in any way possible. I was washing the patio door in our dining room a few weeks ago when Madison decided to help. She grabbed a towel and put it in the bucket of water and washed the windows right along side of me. I think she made more of a mess than she helped...but it was fun to have a partner in my chores.

Madi's favorite toy at the moment is her foot-powered car she got from Santa this year. She and Aiden each got one and they have so much fun getting in and out, pushing them around, and using the tools from a puzzle to work on the car.

Madison, you are such a wonderful little girl. I am amazed that you are almost two years old already. I hope that you keep your sweetness and tender heart as you grow up. I love that you want to cuddle with daddy and me. Your hugs and kisses melt my heart and I fall in love with you all over again. You are such a blessing in my life. I love you baby girl! Mommy
