Madeline at 21 months

What a little ray of sunshine this baby girl is.

And she's become rather well-known it seems! At least among our Red Barn family. I met two of the RB parents this week and was getting to know them (their children are not in Madeline's class) and they both said, "You're Madeline's mom? I love Madeline!" It turns out they see her in the mornings before she moves into her Chicks classroom. 

At any rate, Madeline loves hugs and kisses and snuggling right now. We call her Huggy Bear or Sugar Bear. She loves "way in wap" or laying in our laps. Madeline also loves to grab fingers as she has since infancy. She will even try and bend them backwards if we don't watch!

Madeline, like AC, knows many words  and can read them thanks to Your Baby Can Read. She knows all her colors  knows all her body parts. She also can read many animal names, household items and verbs like wave, sit, eat, drink and run. 

Madeline loves to play in the water right now, she loves to read books and be read to, she loves to eat! What a little snacker. 

Madeline really loves whatever her big sister loves and whatever toy her sister has. Poor AC! We have given Anna Claire the freedom to just go in her room and close the door when she wants to play with something without sharing or just needs some space. That's worked out pretty well.

Madeline loves stroller rides,going to the zoo, and generally just traveling anywhere! 

She is a happy, fun little girl!
