Just another day.

A few photos taken yesterday along with an update.

Madeline has been with a cold for the last week; stuffy, runny nose and a cough. No fever though and her appetite remains the same. She hates the nose sucker but it's a necessary evil to pull all that snot out of her little nose. The best time to do it is after her evening bath when everything is nice and runny :-)
We finally broke down and purchased a humidifier for her bedroom and it seems to be helping- in just a few nights of having it on, her cheeks aren't so dry and chapped looking and she seems to be sleeping much better through the night.
The good news in all of this is that she's still a happy little girl. We were busy yesterday playing with her stacking blocks among other toys, her baby and Jersey's bandana.
A few new things that Madeline is doing....she has started to dance and it's so sweet. Anytime music plays, whether on the radio, commercial or a movie, she starts to bounce and smile as though she is aware that what she is doing is totally cute. She walks and runs all over the place and I've noticed in the last couple days that she tried to walk on her tippy-toes. She is fascinated by her feet and our feet, too. She understands that socks go on feet and it's pretty funny when she tried to put them on herself. No real words yet. We're working on "up" and she's said it a few times, but not when she wants to get "up" on the couch or in the chair or whatever it might be. Of course she understands everything we say. I think she's just waiting to talk until she can complete her sentences- she's so smart ;-) Oh, and another thing- she HATES having her diaper changed. She sees the diaper and the wipes and she will run away from you. I scratch my head as to why that might be? I would hate to run around in full pants of one or the other!
A few of her favorite things to play with are her stacking blocks, her puzzles and her baby's. Oh, and before I forget- she just started hiding things in places. For example, crayons in the fireplace and cell phones in the cupboards. She's certainly more toddler than baby.
