Mommy's Little Helper
This has been a favorite toy of hers lately. She tries to carry both the broom and dustpan around with her which sometimes prevents her from fitting through a doorway. Pretty funny to watch!
Now if only we could get her to do the dishes!

Friday Funday
Maddie had two doctors visit on Friday, her 15 month well visit and a dermatologist appointment. The first one wasn't until 10am so Maddie and I lounged around for a little bit after daddy left for work. Then we got up and had breakfast and coffee together (she had breakfast, I had coffee). Once I was ready to get her dressed I went into her room where I had laid out all her clothes for the day earlier and I could not find the shoes she was going to wear.
Side note: the girl LOVES shoes! One of her favorite things to do is go into her room and pull all her shoes off the shelf in her closet and pick out a pair to bring to you. And it's always a pair, never a miss matched set. Anyway, back to Friday morning - I knew she had only been in her bedroom, our bedroom and the kitchen that morning but I could not find them anywhere! I kept asking her what she had done with them and she just shook her head and put her hands up out to her side as if to say "I don't know." I searched for at least 20 minutes looking under beds, in closets and hampers before I saw her shoes here:
I made her pose with her handy work and her innocent "who me?" face. This is a small table I have just inside the back door for my purse and her diaper bag and apparently her shoes now too. She must have put them on at some point while I was cooking breakfast without me noticing.
Once we got to the pediatricians office she was in such a great mood! This was how we spent the entire time waiting on the dr.
She loved the sound the paper made and kept dancing and jumping all over it. Her visit went great, here are her 15 month stats but she is right on track with everything.
Height 31 in - 50-75%
Weight 21 lbs 12 oz - 25-50%
Head 46 cm - 50%
She's still not talking much but the doctor wasn't concerned and said we would revisit it and see how she was doing at 18 months and decided then what to do. Here she is enjoying some snacks before the dreaded shots.
In between appointments we barely had time to go home and eat and get a nap in so I had to wake her up in order to get to the dermatologist office in time. I have no pictures from there because she wasn't the happiest patient at that point in the day.
The dermatologist looked at the birthmark on her forehead but wasn't concerned about it at all. He said there is a slight increased risk (like 2%) of melanoma later in life and we could choose to have it removed if we wanted to or just keep an eye on it. So, we've decided we'll just keep an eye on it and will see him again in a year.
And since she was such a trouper for most of the day she, Pepper and I cuddled up that afternoon and watched most of Monsters, Inc before she fell asleep again for a short nap.
All and all a pretty great day spent with the munchkin!

Curls
No one in my immediate family has curly hair. In fact, we all have mostly thin and fine hair. Alex's two sister both have curly hair though so my mom was hoping that Maddie would maybe end up with that gene. But of course she ended up with straight hair - until recently. As her hair has gotten longer and longer this is what it looks like every night after her bath:
Of course, it doesn't stay like this for long but it gives my mom a little hope that she will still end up with some curl!
And isn't this an awesome mullet?!

Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! Saturday night Maddie stayed at her Grandma's so Alex and I could go out to dinner.
You can kind of see from these few pictures that her cute little bows are actually useful now to hold some of her hair out of her face. She is rockin a serious mullet these days!
This weekend she also helped me make Valentine's for each of her classmates at school
And cinnamon honey butter for her teachers. Of course we had to sample to make sure it was good and it was definitely delicious!
The weather here also has been so nice!! It was almost 40 degrees today and should get into the 50's on Wednesday! I know all my relatives in the south think I'm crazy just for saying that but it's amazing how a few weeks of below freezing weather can affect you.
