Madison has some vocabulary now.  She can say baby, bowl, and shoe and can be understood.  She is also having fun saying “dude” and “woe” which sound more like “dooooooooooo” and “woooooooooooooh”, apple and grapes which sound like “ad-da” and “ge ge”, and up and down which sound like “uh” and “dooooooon”.   The other day, I asked her if I should make myself a cuppa tea and she said what I think was “cuppajabba”.   She is just too cute!  She nods vigorously when a question is asked of her that requires yes for an answer.  Her sign language vocabulary includes car, eat (breakfast, lunch, dinner), change, book, and many more.  Just a while ago, she discovered her belly button and how to blow on food to cool it down.    Today, though, she did something that almost blew me away.  She was walking around the family room with her sippy cup (which she has just started using this week) and she accidently turned it upside down so a couple of drops spilled onto the floor.  I was up in the kitchen and I heard “o, oh”.  I looked over the railing to find her holding her cloth and bending over to clean up the spill!  I was very impressed!
