Madison is 17 months old today

Our baby is 30 days away from 18 months!! At times I couldn't wait for her to get older so she could interact more, but I really do miss the days when she would cuddle up and sleep on your chest for hours.



Now she's running around & biting all the kids at daycare. She has also bit me and thought it was funny when I bit her back. So we've moved on to time-out as a punishment. She knows it's wrong...she'll act like she's going to bite me and then stop and say "no ite-ing" (no biting).



Aunt Emily came to visit this past weekend and babysat Madison yesterday. Emily captured this picture after asking Madison "Where are your pumpkins?". Madison LOVES pumpkins. Our neighbor has giant inflatable pumpkins in their front yard which she'll point at and say "pumpkin". Madison has added some more new works to her vocabulary: Karma, cup, hot dog, yes, puppy, ball and Grandma (which sounds like "Am-Ahh"...sorry Grandpa - we're working on PaPa!). She has mastered an animal puzzle & knows there the different shaped blocks go.



This weekend we're going to the pumpkin patch and having a bonfire/hayride with neighbors. I hope to have good pictures to post next week.
