19 months

This month was all about increasing vocabulary. I say that, but my understanding is from here on out it is all about increasing EVERYTHING- so we'll see.

Madison now knows, with confidence, the letters M, A, and W (aka double). She says purple, blue, red, and yellow but doesn't really know the difference between any of the colors yet. She also knows her basic shapes, circle, square, triangle (she says 'tie' for this one). Her daily vocab just continues to impress us. She's constantly looking at new items around the house and around town telling us what they are. She loves to tell us about all the animals on her favorite show, Wonder Pets. Now she recognizes catapillar, crane (the bird), Panda, and Butterfly in addition to the characters of the show, Ming Ming (the duck), Tuck (the turtle), and Linny (we are still working on Linny's name).

This month we had fun visiting with friends too. We had lunch with our friend Jen (aka 'Puh') that Daddy grew up with. We played with Mommy's friend Stacy from Progressive twice in one weekend! Played at Jason and Kelly's house when we got to go preview their wedding video- which was absolutely beautiful! Like a trailer for a movie. So cool.

Madison had her first taste of Frozen Yogurt, and loves it. She now says, 'Num, num' whenever she eats something she likes. These days everything is num, num.

One of our big milestones, ok sort of milestones, this month was wearing her first hair clip! They make these tiny clips for baby hair that actually clip- no velcro. She has enough hair on the top of her head now we can gather it to one side and put a clip in. So fun! Mommy and Daddy neither one had much hair until we were 2 years old. Maybe she is beating our curve. :)

We rounded out the month with a trip to the Perinatologist as a family to take a look at 'Pickle'. Madison found out Pickle is a sister, not a brother. She is still clueless about it, but Mommy and Daddy are excited and working on getting the nursery and house ready for our new little girl!
