15 months

It's been a while and I need to upload some new pictures. Maddie had her 15 month well visit yesterday and has grown two inches and gained a pound. She is so much fun at this age. Her favorite thing to do is climb on everything including the coffee table. She says 20-30 words her favorites being cookie and no. She loves cookie monster and winnie the pooh. Her books are still a favorite with her new favorite reading partner daddy. She got all four of her 1 year molars in the past month, so sleeping has been occasionally iffy. She is a great sleeper though sleeping from about 6:15 pm till 6 am and taking one nap in the middle of the day.
I can't wait for Maddie's second thanksgiving and second christmas. I feel like maybe she'll be excited to open presents and love the christmas tree.

13-14 months old

Maddie is quite the little ham. She has lots of words now. Her newest are thank you and cookie. All animals are doggies or goggies now. She is trying to go down to one nap a day and almost to only two bottles a day. She really loves most foods these days. She goes to bed all by herself at 7 pm and sleeps very well. She has 6 teeth on top and four on bottom. Her favorite toys are her baby doll, her blocks, and her books which she loves to sit and "read: to herself. Here are some recent pics of her.

Written update of Maddie's accomplishments

Maddie's 1 year appointment went great. She was 25 lb 7 oz and 31.25 inches tall. She's slowed down in growth tremendously. My little pork chop is thinning out and I'll be sad to say goodbye to her little potbelly when it disappears.
She took her first steps two days before her birthday and starting last week is now walking full time. She's completely on whole milk now and we're working on staying goodbye to the bottle. She says mama, mommy, dada, daddy, doggy, duckie, hi, bye, and yea now. She tries to comb her hair when I hand her her comb.
She got lots of great presents for her birthday including a wagon, a PBK anywhere chair, walking toy and lots of clothes for the fall. She understands no now, but in typically toddler style does not listen when she doesn't want to. We've started only giving her the paci for naps and bedtime and she doesn't even seem to notice.
She's becoming quite the drama queen and there's alot of crying and whining when she doesn't get what she wants. No suprise there. It's cute and funny actually.
