She's a mess!

It's almost the end of the year and Maddie is about 17 months and what I mostly say about her is....."she's a mess"! Of course, I say endearingly because I love her but she drives me crazy. She's all over the place and hates to be told no. She throws a wonderful tantrum and squirms her way out of most situations (and my arms usually). She holds her own with her brother and has her daddy wrapped around her finger. 

She's still growing like a weed wearing 24m/2t. I know she must weigh close to 30 pounds because my arm kills me when I have to carry her for long. She still only has 4 teeth, but has about 6 cutting through (for almost a month now)!! She love Elmo and asks for him all day! She is trying to say so many words, cookie is a favorite as well as no, mommy, my, daddy, Tyson, Max, phone, book, pon pon and more. She's walking better and faster, but still stumbles on her feet. She doesn't like her hair in a ponytail and usually takes it out first chance she gets. She still does not like to get dressed and enjoys taking off socks, shoes, etc. Like I say, she's a mess, but I love her!!

 Loves to climb stairs

 See a resemblance?

Loves to feed herself, especially from my plate.

 Loves to explore on her own. At Honey's she would stray away in the woods and I'd have to chase her.

 She loves to go out the doggy door and sit in her little table.
