Twinkle, Twinkle. And then running in circles

Madeline sings one of her favourite tunes - Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. She then gets distracted by the thought of running in a circle.
The bag she's packing is her new "purse".

Finally, an update

Well, it appears to be exactly 2 months since I last posted. I figured I'm well overdue to share some pictures with all of you!! It's also Madeline's 21 month Birthday today. Boy is she ever becoming a little lady. She just had her 18 month check up (I seem to always be a couple of months behind) and she weighs 24lbs.
Here are some other highlights:

• She can count to 20 and sing the alphabet
• She's working on her colours, knows lots of the names but doesn't always get them right
• She's still really into "babies". She has 3 different ones that she takes care of - she loves to pretend to dress them and change their diapers
• She loves to clean - she'll take a paper towel and go around the house cleaning walls, beds.....even my pants
• She's been a BIG Mommy's Girl the last few months althought this seems to be getting a bit better. She's starting to separate a little bit from me, which is nice because I'm starting to be able to get a bit more done around the house.
• Now that the summer is almost here she's loving being outside and most days we have to drag her in (or bribe her with a popscicle)
• She just moved into her Big Girl bed
• She just had her first real hair cut (by a professional....not me chasing her around snipping hair with the kitchen scissors)
• She's going to be a Big Sister! For those of you who haven't heard, we're expecting #2 in August!
