Madison at 18 months

Madison is doing sooo many fun and cute things nowadays that I wanted to write them all down. I also thought it would be fun for my family to read this as well. 

*The bedtime routine*

This is the best part of the day for me. Not because she is about to go to bed and I can finally relax (even though that IS nice), but because she does the CUTEST things! 
This is the routine:
*put water in humidifier and turn it on
*turn off the big light and turn on her lamp (it's not as bright this way)
*change diaper
*brush teeth
*turn on music mobile
*read books
*once music mobile stops, say "ut oh, time for bed"
*put her in bed and tell her to give kisses to her monkeys (she has curious George in her crib)
*tell her to give Mommy a kiss, say "i love you, see you in the morning", and turn off her light

The cute things:
*If I do anything out of order she lets me know. She will point to the humidifier or mobile.. etc.
*If she is tired and wants to go to sleep, she will look at the mobile and say "ut oooooh"
*We read the same 6-8 books every night, even though she has 30+ books in the book bin. She will dig through the bin to find the one she wants
*When reading "touch and feel pets", she gives eskimo kisses to all of the animals. When reading "touch and feel bathtime" she makes me take her finger and counts the things on the page (i did this with her ONCE). She counts like this.. Deeeea.. deeeeea.. deeeeea. That is the best way I can describe it. 

*Her favorite things*

*SpongeBob SquarePants- (it's a cartoon). I have no idea why but this is the only thing that holds her attention. It comes in handy at 2am when she is teething
*Lotion- She LOVES to rub it all over herself. It's the only way I can change her diaper. I dap a little on her hand and she rubs it on her tummy.
*Being outside- 100% obsessed with being outside
*Baths- as soon as I turn on the water she RUNS into the bathroom
*Good Night Moon and 5 Little Monkey's- These are her favorite books
*Going down the BIG slide by herself- She goes down on her tummy and does NOT want you to catch her
*Avacado, peanut butter/jelly sandwiches, string cheese, goldfish crackers and oatmeal. She could seriously live on these

*Stuff she can do/say*

*Cacker = Cracker
*Hi
*baBA (always emphasis on the last BA) = bubbas (Damon)
*ba = ball
*QUA QUA= sound a duck makes (she always says it loudly)
*RRRRrrrrrraaaa= the sound every other animal makes
*ha ha= sound a monkey makes
*bebe= baby doll
*knows where her eyes, ears, nose, mouth and hair are

I will probably add to this as I think of things but there ya go.. 18 months in a nutshell
