Little Babbler and her Favorites

Madeeha says all kinds of cute things. She's quite the talker. She doesn't say very much around friends, but in the house we can't get her to be quiet.


* She likes to say hi to everyone in public places. She demands their attention. She doesn't
understand it when some people choose to ignore her or just can't hear her. She keeps trying
though. She'll say hi to them until they are out of her sight.

* She LOVES to sing songs and she dances constantly

* She's known the ABC song for a very long time now

* She can count to fifteen and started counting before her first birthday

* She can say difficult names or phrases like 'Praatham' or 'Alhamdulillah', but she says
Alhamallah

* 'Quirrel' for squirrel

* 'Coo' munks for Alvin and the Chipmunks

* 'Clues Clues' for Blues Clues

* Princess for Dora the Explorer

* 'Logurt' for yogurt

* 'Chitchen' for Chicken

* When I ask her if she wants something and she's indecisive and angry, she says "No, it's
finished!"

* She checks on us when we wipe our eyes. She asks if we are crying. Then she'll say "No
crying, it's alright mommy(or daddy)." and pat us on the back or stroke our hair.

* She very clearly says "What's the matter daddy?" He'll pretend to be upset if she won't kiss
him.

* She can say most anything that you ask her to say. She struggles with some words.
Sometimes she can pronounce the syllables of a word perfectly, but then she will struggle a
little bit when she tries to combine them. But, she is doing very well for her age.

We're very lucky that she will eat almost anything as long as she is in the mood to eat it. She likes all vegetables, but she prefers them spiced or in vegetable soup or something. She recently tried corn on the cob for the first time at Joe's Crab Shack and she loved it. We had to order and extra one.
