Sixteen Months


So as many of you have pointed out- I'm a bit behind. I'll make this one short and sweet as the interim posts seem to cover most of the big events of the past month.
We had a bit of a scare late in the month. Madison and Mommy went to have Madison's Christmas pictures taken. She learned how much fun it is to throw fits- arching her back and throwing herself onto the ground early in the month. Picture day was no different. When she doesn't want to do something, she wants EVERYONE to know about it. Madison didn't want to sit in the sleigh for pictures so she stood on the seat, arched her back and sailed right over the side. She landed flat on her back and head after a little over a 2 foot fall.
We rushed straight to the doctor, whose office was only a few blocks away. Dr Pattan did a full exam head to toe and assured me Madison is an anomaly. She barely even had a red mark where she hit her head. Everything was absolutely perfect. We were very lucky God sent an angel to protect Madison during her fall. Later in the day, after a big lunch and long nap, we went back and found out the pictures turned out horribly anyway. Not a fun day for either of us.
On a positive note, we love playing at the park. Madison gets so excited when we turn the corner and the playground comes in view. She starts yelling and signing, "Play!". Her favorite part is the 'wee' also known as a slide. She says WEEEE as she slides all the way down. Daddy even got to come play at the park with us before our big Florida trip.
We also got to play with the 'snow' at the mall one night. Every night at our local mall during the Christmas season the mall had bubble snow for kids and adults to play with. Madison thought it was great falling from the sky. She danced and stomped around and tried to catch the snow bubbles as they fell. Several people stopped us after the snow storm and told us how entertaining our little goof ball was. It was great fun for all three of us.
