Madeline is almost 15 months

Madeline and I have been spending some quality time together in the past few weeks while Max is in school. And while we miss Max when he is gone it's been nice to give Maddie more attention. She is so vocal lately. She loves to say "oh no!", mommy, no, cookie, uh oh, daddy, Tyson, etc. I joke and say she is speaking Chinese because she is aways jabbering away and I have no idea what she is saying. Her and  Max communicate pretty well and when they disagree pushing is usually involved (from both). 

I'm working on trying to set some limits on her, because she is a wild one. She'll grab something she shouldn't have and literally run away with it. This girl is fast! She has the fast walk that is almost like a run. She is still a little wobbly and falls quite often. She is growing like a weed. She weighs about 25 pounds and is wearing 18 month clothing. She loves to play cars with her brother and cuddle her dolls. Did I mention she was precious?!?! Oh, she is no longer using bottles. :( Kind of didn't want to get rid of that since she is probably my last baby, growing pains!!

She is still a pretty good eater. Loves grapes, strawberries, bananas, blueberries, pineapple, broccoli, green beans, etc. She rarely likes mashed potatoes though, must be the texture. She also likes to indulge in a cookie like the rest of us and she clearly says coo-key. She is definitely in that stage where I'd rather just stay home with her. She marches to the beat of her own drum which drives me crazy when we are at restaurants or stores. We call her the "escapee". She can get out of the shopping carts and high chairs even if we strap her in. Lots of fun, let me tell you! We recently went to Carraba's and she was in rare form....coloring on the wall, spilling water, crawling on the table, swiping silverware....oh my...
