At 16 1/2 months, Madeleine is almost 22 pounds, and 29 inches. Dr Mian was quite excited about her growth; Madeleine is not only back on the growth charts, but measuring ~50th percentile!!!
In other news, Madeleine is doing really well. Very happy still. =) WALKING up a storm (thanks to Grandma & Grandad Sharkey who really cracked the walking whip when they visited a few weeks ago!)!
She's still not talking much ~ will say DaDa (of course) and BobBobBob, she seems to be starting on Doggie...
However, Madeleine will nod her head yes when asked a question, and will raise her hand at other times (i.e. Who is glad Daddy is home?). Too cute! will try to get it on video...
She also shrugs her shoulders ~ didn't realize we did that much, but we must! Funny what they pick up!
As far as motor skills go, Madeleine is on a kick of putting small toys into baskets/boxes and carrying or pushing them around.
She loves books, especially ones that flip to show something underneath or tactile books. I'll put some in her crib, and she'll happily 'read' in the morning while I take a quick shower. Let's hope this isn't just a phase!!!
We've been pretty busy as Madeleine seems to get pretty bored (read: Fussy!) if we hang around the house too much. So we've been checking out new things around town (an interesting singing toddler class ~ didn't realize the ADULTS would be required to dance... needless to say, i don't think we'll be attending THAT one too much. :P
She's still enjoying her baby swimming 'lessons' on Friday & Saturday (more like supervised splashing around, but they love it).
We've been making it to her weekly play group more, which has been fun for both of us. ;> It's really neat to see all the kiddos growing up!
Of course, we've been going to the zoo as well. They have a great children's area with goats (who MUST be tranqued ~ they're TOO laid back!) and sheep and ducks...
Good Times!
Hope you all out there are well. :)
