So my daughter is at the age where she is talking (and singing!) all the time! She has a huge vocabulary and can carry on a conversation with people in full long sentences. She sometimes seems like a mini adult by the way she talks so clearly and annunciates everything so well. It cracks me up the way her little mind works and I try to jot down some of the funny things she says.
Ever since Jayden's been born, she's seemed to get the concept more that she used to be a little baby as well. Now that he is using all of her old things- car seat, swing, baby toys etc. So she's been on this kick lately about referring to things "when she was a little baby." So I was pumping the other day and she says (word for word)..."When Maddie was a little baby, Maddie usually nurse with this" (the pump) and "Maddie usually have this milk like Jayden." (and yes, she usually refers to herself in 3rd person most of the time). :) haha So speaking of the word "usually"- that is her new word she seems to use for everything; it's pretty funny. Like we'll be driving in the car and she'll spot a random playground and she'll say, "Maddie usually go on that playground." Hmmm ok sure... I just smile and nod. :) Then yesterday when she woke up from her nap I had put some earrings in, which she noticed right away. She said, "Mom has earrings... I LIKE them" (high pitched voice)... "When Maddie gets older, Maddie usually get earrings in." It made me laugh... I'm sure I've said something to her before about how she can get her ears pierced when she's older, but I'm sure it's been months or longer. I don't know how she remembers little things people say from forever ago but she does.

Madison is a little too good of a helper with her baby brother. She's constantly wanting to be around him, even when he's sleeping (which mom is not a big fan of- with 2 kids to juggle now, I am all for the sleeping baby, but she always tries to bug him and wake him! haha) She will also for some reason always say that he's crying even when he's not :) He'll make a little squeak and she'll get this concerned look and say, "he's kwyyy-ing!" She likes having a buddy in the back seat of the car now, and the whole car ride she'll be constantly keeping us updated on what he's doing. It's pretty funny. Sometimes it will be the exact opposite- she will tell us his eyes are open when they're really closed, or that "he's awake now" when he's really sleeping, and stuff like that (ya know, for like everything- if he yawns, sneezes, opens/closes eyes, is sleeping or awake, is crying, is happy etc, she will tell us!) She frequently says "He's looking out the window now... at the TREES!" (high pitched, very excited voice) :) Yesterday he was fussy when we first got in the car but then he calmed down. I asked Madison how he was doing back there, to which she quickly replied, "He's good. He stopped crying." I said, "Oh good, thank you for letting me know because i can't see him from up here." Then she said, "I can see him though." haha Yep you can! It's funny how kids pick up on phrasing that people use frequently, like using the word 'though' at the end of a sentence. And the "he's good" phrase she uses a lot for him and herself cuz we'll check her diaper or something and if it doesn't need to be changed I guess we usually say "ok, you're good." So now when I check her diaper, or dirty hands or stuffy nose, she will automatically say it first, "I'm good!" cuz she doesn't want her diaper changed, hands washed etc. There are many more examples I could probably think of of where something we tend to say backfires because she'll use it on us now. You just gotta laugh about it. :)
But anyways, she is like a little mommy herself. She seems to copy everything that I do to Jayden to her baby dolls or stuffed animals. Her very favorite right now is a bear stuffed animal that she is "borrowing" from Grandma. His name is Sam and she uses things of Jayden's for him...his blankets, burp clothes, his medicine bottles and dropper- because she sees me give Jayden medicine. She also has a pacifier just for Sam and for some reason says he's nursing when she puts the pacifier to his mouth :) Then of course she tries to burp him and swaddle him in blankets and stuff. Pretty much every morning when I go get her out of her crib she says this (really fast)... "Mom, get Sam out. He's sad. Mom, burp him." Then a week ago Maddie got on the couch with one of her bears, grabbed my boppy, put it around her and said, "Look Mom I'm nursing!" ahahaha So funny! I knew that would be coming one of these days! :)

Probably the funniest thing she has been doing lately is abbreviating everything!!! It is hilarious! She started doing it around the beginning of May. It started with her talking about her blanky... she'd shorten it sometimes and say, "Where's my 'blank'?" Then she is obsessed with our neighbor's cat named Nobbie, and she'd talk about him and sometimes call him "Nobbs" out of nowhere. We laughed so maybe that's why she decided she'd abbreviate everything. She gets this little smirk when she does it because she knows she's being funny. It's very clever that she can figure out how to abbreviate any word she hears (usually easier if it's 2 or more syllables- otherwise she just adds an S to it). I will have to post a video of it because we've taped her doing it a few times. It's the funniest thing, I love it! Here are some examples of some words she abbreviates a lot...***********************

So yesterday her Grandma and aunt took her to the zoo. I didn't go but it's like I didn't miss a thing because she tells me all about things and explains them in detail. She brought it up today during dinner and randomly said these sentences all on her own... (Luckily I had a pen and paper handy so I could write it all down word for word as Nick and I were laughing about it) :)"I don't like the dinosaurs at the zoo. Sprayed water in my face. Those dinosaurs were 'scare-red'!" (meaning to say 'scary' I'm guessing).
"I didn't pet the animals. I didn't pet the dinosaurs."
"What about the zoo, Dad?" (high pitched voice like we do to her to ask her questions) :)"What about it? What about it, Dad??" "Like the zoo. Dad, you like the zoo?"
"I was sad at the gorilla." I asked why, then she said, "It was scare-red! I was scare-red to him!"

Another funny moment the other day was when I had to call the pediatrician and I told Maddie to be quiet while I was on the phone. She had come with me to my 37 wk OB checkup at the hospital so she got to meet my doctor, Dr. Irion. She still remembers him over a month and a half later because when I told her I was calling the doctor, she looked at me and said this back, "Be quiet to doctor when Mom talks to Irion"... "Where'd Irion go??" (concerned face) "At da hostibull!" haha It cracked me up!

Well as you can see I have one smarty little girl that constantly cracks me up! It makes my days interesting to say the least! Sorry for the lengthy post but this is the extent of my journaling these days and it's gotta go somewhere... so there will be more to come... :)
