18 months!

It's hard to believe this, but Madelyn is 18 months old! We went to her check up and she is doing great and moving right up the curve! She weighs 23 lb 11 oz (45%) and she is 32.75 in (80%)!

I talked a little bit to the doctor and we think that she may have developed some seasonal allergies, just like her mama. Last week, Madelyn and I were really sick at the exact same time. Then today, they said that the mold counts were really high, and my allergies were driving me crazy. We're giving her Claratin for 2-3 days to see if it clears her up. If it does then he's sure that's what's going on. He said that usually it takes 3 fall seasons to develop allergies, but since I have such bad seasonal allergies, it's not out of the ordinary.

She adds more words to her vocabulary every day. She's communicating so well these days, you can really have a conversation with her. She's doing a great job at letting you know exactly what she wants. She'll respond yes and no, and if you can't figure it out she'll march you right over and show you what she wants!

She hasn't given up the binky yet...although she does fine without it during the day. I don't think mom and dad are ready to let her go without it at night, yet. Neither the dentist or the doctor asked about it...

She LOVES to dance. Turn on some music and she starts moving to the beat. I can't wait until we can get her into dance classes! I think we're going to do a mommy and me gymnastics class this winter.

She does a good job keeping up with her big brother! Sometimes it's hard to believe there is a 28 month age difference! They love each other so much! This past week Madelyn stayed home sick for 2 days and all she did was ask about "Bubba", and he went straight for her for a hug when he got home.

We love our little peanut so much! Her little personality adds so much light to our lives!
