tofu is torrific!

the tofu was a huge hit today! for any of you using finger foods i highly recommend firm tofu. maddie gobbled it up and it was a lot easier to pick-up than the fruit pieces. plus, it can be mixed in with other foods for some extra protein pre-meats.

i forgot to mention yesterday that madelyn has another new desire - to crawl up and over anything in her way. besides just reaching up as high as she can to grab things she is starting to put her feet into the act too. she has been trying to climb up and over one of her toys by stepping up with one of her feet.

today she has started standing all by herself for 1 - 2 seconds and she can take one or two steps while holding on to my finger with one hand for balance. she still has a long way to go for actual walking but we are starting to see signs of it.

today at playgroup she enjoyed chasing around one of their little dogs. she just kept laughing at it and crawling after it. at least that was what she was doing when she wasn't trying to climb over the other babies! she is getting so fast that i can't really carry on a conversation because i have to stay on top of her the whole time. fun, fun, fun!

love.

I'll have to give tofu a try. Where would I find it in a grocery store? By the cheese? Thanks for the tip :)
