Having a baby is definitely an adventure. I never knew everything that it entails. I didn't know if I would ever stop crying once we brought her home. However, slowly but surely, we adjusted and life became wonderful. I don't really remember life before her and I can't wait to see what life brings in the future.
16 months has definitely been a fun age for us. It has felt like we turned a corner. Walking is much easier, she runs and climbs on top of everything or at least tries to. Communication has been much easier. She understands a lot. She'll be playing with her toys in the living room and I'll tell her it's time to change her diaper and she just gets up, walks to her room and lies down on the floor. When she decides to throw a tantrum because no one knows what she wants, I just tell her to get it or show me and she'll walk, usually to the pantry, and I'll get her what she wants.
We had a major breakthrough with water play. She used to hate the water. Whimpered in the pool, wouldn't walk around a spray park and just avoided water, except for bath. Well, last weekend we went to a pool/soccer party and at first Madison was nervous but once she got in with daddy and everyone else in the pool, she just loved it. Loved it so much that it got dangerous. Trey was swimming in the deep end and Madison was on the concrete with me and saw her daddy and walked right to him and into the pool. No worries, Trey was there and caught her. Daycare also has Water Day every Wednesday and I would pick her up and ask how it went and they said she would be upset and just wanted to sit by the window and just watch the kids play in it. Well, this Wednesday she had a great Water Day and she even went down the slide! I was a proud mama.
Anyway, just wanted to start a blog to help me remember the small things and to update family and friends. Please bear with my blogging skills. Hopefully I'll get the hang of this.
