walking

what a difference two day's makes. madelyn is probably walking 50 - 75% of the day now. when we went to the baby dedication class at our church last night the childcare workers were saying that madelyn has "the cutest little walk". here is some video of her walking at the park this afternoon. she just took off when we took her out of the stroller and after watching a little bit i ran back to get the camera. she gets a little distracted by the other kids playing the bells, but then gets going.



we got madelyn this curious george goes to the zoo book as part of our "the zoo is fun" initiative. well i think it might have helped increase her enjoyment of the zoo, but the real fun for matt and i is that george is hiding throughout the book and madelyn can point him out when we ask her to find him.

she is getting really good at pointing out what we ask her to and that is really fun for me. she can identify the zebra, lion, and giraffe above her changing table. and she is pretty close to saying "lion". (well i heard her say it twice, but matt has to hear it for it to count.) she has also added the signs for "book" and "story" to her skill set.

well, now I am caught up and should get back to posting at a more reasonable pace. love.
