18 months

The product of happiness is more happiness.

Madison has been on this earth a short 18 months but she easily made her way to the top of the happiness list.

There really is an unconditional love which you don't truly understand until you're a parent. I'm sure I'll learn a lot more about that in years to come.

At 18 months Madison is in love with chickens and ducks. Her quacks and her wing movement to the chicken dance are adorable. She is still a very healthy eater. She loves fruits and veggies. Pineapple has been added to the list. She will repeat any word that you ask her to and can tell you what she wants without giving up or getting frustrated. Her grunts are less and her words are more. She loves playing ring around the rosie and the bigger the circle the more fun she has. If you are in the room, she will pull you up and make you play. She's a leader!  She is very helpful around the house. She cleans up, throws her diapers away, helps load the washer and dryer, and can reach the counter tops... Uh-Oh! She still loves to be outside. She is still obsessed with bubbles and chalk. She loves water and really enjoys the pool. She will go under (not by choice, usually) and comes up like a champ, goes to wipe her face off with her towel and comes back to do it all over again. She continues to be a beam of light, full of energy and happiness.

Oh, did I mention that she's still tall? She continues to be in the 99% and it wearing a 3T at 18 months. :-)
