18 months

So Madison has been 18 months since the first of October, but we just had her doctor's appt last Friday. The doctor said she is doing great. She weighs 23lbs 12oz which is 50% and 33 1/2" tall which is 95%. Weight wise, she has always been average. But she has usually been average height wise. Not sure if its a growth spurt or if she is going to be tall.
Madison has become quite a little girl. She understands everything we say. And just in the last couple of weeks she is talking up a storm: dad, mama, baby, dog, kitty cat, airplane, all gone, right there, Elmo, down, eyes, Sadie, help, bath, park, outside, cheese (cheezzzzzz), sky. More is her favorite word when she eats. And this morning as we watched Seseme Street she said Abby. She loves to repeat words we say, so we have to be really careful!
She is good about helping us pick up her toys, she loves to throw things in the trash and take a tissue to blow her nose. She blows on her food when I tell her its hot, she knows her milk is in the door of the fridge and water is in the door outside the fridge. She loves to help with the laundry and push the buttons to start the washer and dryer. She is still obsessed with the park and the swing and runs to the front door saying park at least once a day. She knows where the crackers and cookies are in the pantry. She loves to sing, especially the song on Elmo's world. And when she sings she has to sway back and forth. She also loves to say bye bye and wave, blow kisses and even fake yawn. She usually has breakfast here, breakfast at school, a snack, lunch, another snack, dinner at school, and then dinner at home(or at least some of our dinner). She loves to sit on the kitchen chairs, on the deck chairs or on the coffee table. But she doesn't usually want to sit on the couch. She is also going to be an independent little girl. Not sure where she gets that. :)
She will watch Elmo or a cartoon in the car, but when we play it inside, she is only interested for about 5 minutes. She has diapers with the disney princesses on them that she wears to bed and she loves them. We ask her if she is ready to put on her princess diaper and she gets all excited.
She is a silly little girl, but we are having a great time with her. Its hard to believe how much they change in 18 months...
