Maddie Mae is our spunky 2 year old. And she is SO MUCH the embodiment of a 2 year old. She is determined, feisty, curious, lovable and too cute for her own good.
Here are a few tidbits about Madison:
- Tim calls her Mae-Mae.
- She recently went through another bath aversion, so we’ve transitioned to showers. She enjoys those much more.
- She likes having her hair out of her face.
- She has learned to get up into the swing all by herself. Although her favorite is still swinging back and forth on her belly.
- She loves puppies/dogs.
- She is having a hard time staying in bed recently. We’ve been trying a variety of tactics to get this under control…
- She is petrified of Thunder right now. So much so, that she’s even spooked by the sound of garbage trucks.
- She adores Chloe with a capitol A.
- She also really likes our new neighbor Mabel. And saying her name over and over…
- She has turned into a major snuggler–which is interesting because she was completely anti-snuggle for the first 18 months.
- She’s recently started taking more of an interest in Levi and sharing toys and helping him.
- She loves singing “I love you, a bushel and a peck” with Auntie Jen.
- Her favorite foods are cheese sticks and Go-gurt.
- She can count to 10.
- She can also sing the A-B-C song.
- She is quite good at cleaning up while singing the “clean up song.”
- She is definitely our climber.
I have a couple other videos too… these are from earlier this summer, but I thought they were equally fun to watch.
That was really interesting, since I know so little about her. Such a character she is turning out to be! Can’t wait until she can express herself a little more clearly. You can tell she has a lot to say – you just can’t quite figure out what it is yet.
After watching the first video again with her I finally understood that what she was trying to tell me over and over was “SWING” and how she was running to the swing and fell and crashed. I kept thinking she was saying “sing” or “raining” and it turns out she was saying “swing” and “swinging” the whole time. She even tried to show me the swings since I was clearly not understanding her. 😀 haha! Poor girl!
