On Christmas eve Madeline turned nineteen months old! We love watching her learn new things and become a little girl and sadly, not a baby anymore. The cutest thing she is doing now is trying to hop, and while she does it says "hop", she has managed to actually hop a couple of the times.
19 months finds Maddy:
- about 24 pounds
- around 31 inches
- size 4 diaper
- size 7 shoe
- size 18-24 month, size 2T clothes
- obsessed with (real) babies, loves to help feed them their bottles
- loves to read books, and will "read" to herself too, smells flowers in the illustrations
- says "Ho Ho Ho" when she sees Santa
- says "hello" "happy" very clear now
- attempts to say or imitate many words now
- can identify some friends and family in photographs, even her baby (3rd) cousin Claire who she hasn't seen in person yet
- very shy to strangers, but enjoys her grandparents, cousin and aunt and uncles very much
- refuses to smile for pictures
We love you Madeline Mae!
Love,
Momma and Dadda
