We went to Ikea and she fell in love with these stuffed animals!
She climbed up this bed by herself
Every morning we read tons of books. Yes, we read all the books that are in the picture pretty much every morning.
At lunch at a new restaurant called Cheesies (a grilled cheese restaurant)! They had tables painted with chalkboard paint which makes for great entertainment.
Here are a few random new videos of our favorite girl!
Joseph put a photo collage of us in her bedroom and she likes to look at the pictures and point out Mama and Dada.
For some reason she loves playing with clean diapers. She grabbed a couple of them and decided to play basketball with them.
Here is she at lunch today. She was messing around so I removed the tray from her chair and she nibbled on a large piece of cucumber while dancing. Believe it or not, she did not have any sugar with this meal! And look at that gorgeous messy hair flying around!
Maddie has started to LOVE anything and everything Elmo! She has an Elmo stuffed toy and a couple of Elmo toys. Once in a while we will show her videos on our phones or on the laptop and sometimes we play her an Elmo or Sesame Street video. She has said the word "Elmo" for some time and says it very clearly.
Lately she will repeat the word "Elmo, Elmo, Elmo, Elmo!" whenever she wants her stuffed toy, wants to play with one of the other toys, or if she sees our phone or the laptop and wants to see a video.
It's cute but we are hoping she starts to like another toy pretty soon.
Over the holidays, we took pictures of the majority of our relatives so we could make magnets for Maddie. A friend of ours has magnets of their relatives, and Maddie loved looking at them, and they weren't even of her own family!
I ordered them shortly after the new year (thankfully Shutterfly had a deal) and Maddie has had them for about a week. They are 2 inch x 2 inch flat magnets (so not a choking hazard).
She LOVES them! She is starting to remember a lot of the family members and will often point to or grab the correct one when we ask her to find someone! We normally stick them on her wipe off board, and she loves taking them off the board to walk down the hallway and stick them onto the side of the fridge.
