22 months old

Maddy is now 22 months old (in one week she'll be 23 months!) Just wanting to write some updates!Here is what's new with Maddy!

She is beginning to add a few more words to her vocabulary some new words she has learned are:
up

open
night-night
"want that"- in conjunction with pointing towards object
bye-bye
hi
sun
hot- and waves her hand back and forth showing that it's hot
love you- this one melts me!
Ja- for Josh
e-ma for Elmo
ookie for cookie (as in Cookie Monster)
thank you

And she is doing alot more repeating. Like if you say a word and then say, "Maddy say dog." She'll try to say the word. As far as the speech goes we are still planning on taking her for the full evaluation at 2 which by the way is right around the corner! Crazy!

Some of her favorite things are:
Dancing!!! She loves to dance to music in the car and when a song comes on tv
Elmo
Yo Gabba Gabba

Play dough!
Being chased around the house
taking things in and out of containers over and over

playing with Mommy and Daddy in our bed
going to get the mail out of the mailbox
helping Mommy load the dishwasher- she get's soooo excited when I let her help!
bath time
seeing animals of any kind!
her paci
cuddling up on the couch with a blanket- now when she sits with me for a bottle she goes and get's a blanket to curl up with too!
walking her baby dolls around in their little baby stroller
her "Joshy"
M&M's
drinking out of cups with straws

She is also cracking me up with her new thing that she had been doing. At home whenever we are calling the dog we will say, "Come on Barkley!" and pat our hand against our leg a few times. Well the other day Maddy was wanting me to come in the other room with her and she began patting her leg. At first I was thinking, "What in the world is she doing?" Then I realized that she was trying to do that to let me know she wanted me to follow her into the other room! Silly girl!!!

So there are just a few updates on our little girl. Every day with her is definitely an adventure and we love her so much!
