This is Maddie. A.K.A "The Politician", she loves to greet everyone and shake hands. (Much different from her first year of life when she wouldn't even look at people. It pretty much took until she was a year old to like Joe.) She is 21 months old. Here is a little information about Maddie. She will be great at the game Simon Says, but lose each time because she loves to mimic (and doesn't understand the rules yet). Her older sisters are teaching her a lot, which she immediately copies. Gracie has taught her to hit and throw, while Anna (who is more gentle) has taught her cuddles and kisses.
Her mimicking includes words and she loves to try out what you say. So you better be careful about any adjectives/nouns that may slip out after lets say, you hit your finger with a hammer. We are happy to report that she is saying: "Mom", "uh-oh", "Ma" (for Max), "Bee Bo" (belly button), and some others. Her favorite word is "Hi" and she says it so chipper and when she says it, hi-EE her face lits up and her voice gets real high as she hits the EEE sylable (her hi is two sylables). It is really cute.
She is a pretty good eater, she loves to play with dolls, balls, barbies, etc. She also loves the toilet, it is just her size and has all these cool features. She loves to flush, slam the lid, not all of our toilets have the plastic lids either, and she loves to dip everything in the toilet and put it in her mouth, yum. We are very glad Gracie has started to flush. Also, note to any visitors, please store your toothbrushes in a safe place Maddie can not reach or find.
She is also starting to get into dress up clothes and still takes one nap a day.
