17 months old

I think I say the same things every month about Maddie.  So I won't this time.  But they all are still true.  We just love this girl. 
 
I love how she crosses her ankles.

 She can't get enough of this Halloween book.
 Playing with the trains at Barnes & Nobles while Emma is at school.

A few things I have not said yet:
*Maddie wants to go on the potty.  I mean sit on, not use.  She tugs on her pants and points to the potty until I finally give in and let her sit.  Then she immediately wants up and then has to wash her hands.  Maybe she'll be easy to potty-train?
*She is becoming very independent at the park, climbing and sliding down the slides by herself.  She really climbs on everything she can get on. 
*Is trying very hard to talk.  If I had all day to analyze the sounds she makes, I bet more words would be in there.  So far I can understand "juice", "this", and some sound she kept making for bus.  Today she pointed to Bill's car saying "dada", so she is making progress.
