She's 16 months old?!?!

Posing pretty for mommy!

Thinking she was hiding from me while playing "Peek-a-boo."

Our happy little 16 month old toddler. Geesh.....time flies!

Goofy little girl. Smiling big!

My, my, my.....yesterday our little lady turned 16 months old! She's quite the toddler with quite the personality and often shows quite the ATTITUDE. Over all she is an absolute joy to be around....and even when she's throwing a fit she's still the cutest darn little girl that ever existed.

Maddie has definitely been letting her diva attitude out lately. When something is not her way, it's no way! She is challenging her mommy more and more with grocery shopping. Apparently she wants me to hustle it up so she can get home and play. We have yet to have to leave the store with a shopping cart full of groceries, but have gotten close a time or two. She just wants to explore and play and isn't too fond of staying put in the grocery cart. Hehehe.

She continues to enjoy playing with her friends in the nursery and her toddler gym class at the YMCA. And is talking more and more now. To just the random person they would consider her talking "gibberish" but mommy and daddy certainly know what she's saying. :-) Since she was very little we have been teaching her key sign language words and most recently now she has begun asking us "please" both in sign language and in English when there is something that she wants. So cute...."peas, mama." Oh we just LOVE HER!
