It's been a month since our last post, but life has sure been busy! Madeline is growing by leaps and bounds, and is talking A LOT! She said her first sentence last week, "I gotta go!" Of course, she says it really fast, but it is the cutest. She has also taken to the word "no" very well. If she points at something that she wants, and you hand her something else, she will shake her head and say no.
She is also learning words and sounds very quickly. Matt will make a sound or noise at her and she will try to copy him. She also watches our mouths while we speak and will try and say the same word. She can almost has the word "sit," but knows what it means. If I ask her to sit, she will. Smart little girl.
She is now 14 months old, which Matt and I cannot believe. She has completely grown out of her baby tub and is now taking "big girl baths." She was a little scared at first, but now loves being able to play with her water toys and crawl around the tub.
Today begins her Gymboree classes at Hawthorne Mall, so that should be fun. Matt and I just want her to get out and play with other kids her age, so we think this is a perfect started. Our free trial class is today, and if all goes well, we're signing her up. When you pay for a class a week, you also get free gym sessions throughout the week, so Maddie and I will be doing that as well. I think she and I are both getting cabin fever, so this will be perfect. I'll post more on that after class! :)
