Toddling

This girl is all over the place. She no longer is content to rest on your hip ( yay!), but that means you have to chase after her half bent over (boo!). And she's fast. She runs down our long hallway in seconds, usually there are a few falls along the way, and many bruises to show it. Madeline is loving her freedom, and while I am excited for her, I feel like she's really becoming more of a toddler, less of a baby.
One thing that makes that transition easier is her newfound ability to give kisses...mmmmmmwaaahhhhhh ! Mommy gets kisses, elmo gets kisses, Monkey gets kisses, and her favorite- Maddy in the mirror- she gets the most kisses of all.
