Oh, the Wonderful Things....

Oh the wonderful things Madalyn Jean can do.... she can go like a cow, she can go "moo, moo!" Okay, well no animal noises yet... but she HAS started to say "ma ma ma ma ma!" (Though then I repeat "Ma Ma" back to her, she responds "Da Da!") Lets see what else she can do...
She can help Mommy wrap Christmas presents....

She can help Mommy make Christmas cookies~

She's always ready for snuggle time with Daddy....

.... or playtime with Allie!

She can even ride her pony with Uncle Ben's help!


As I write this Madalyn is playing with her "purse" (one of my old purses filled with her stuff.) She gets so excited pulling it all out and playing with each item.

Maddie is really into other babies right now, especially the baby in the mirror! We used to be able to get her to nap in our bed in the mornings with us, but now she has figured out that when she stands she can see another baby. So her "napping" has turned into her constantly standing up and sqealing and waving at the other baby.

We are trying to teach her to clap and she is so close! Whenever we say "yay Madalyn!" She flaps her arms and smacks her hands together, her way of clapping. It is so adorable. I am so excited for Sunday when we go to Jenna's and get to see Madalyn and Savannah play together. Christmas is going to be so fun this year!
