thankfully madelyn has not tried to climb out of her crib - yet. but she does try to climb in. mainly she is trying to get in and get her "bear". here she is trying to lift herself in after getting a short step up on the bottom.in addition to her crib climbing madelyn is obsessed with climbing up into chairs. this really started when she began walking. she had done it from time to time before, but mainly stuck to climbing up on the couch and glider. now she wants to climb up on the kitchen and dining room chairs (with her rocks in her hand the whole time). she fell off one of the kitchen chairs onto the hardwoods and is now much more careful. some lessons
are learned the hard way.one fun thing that madelyn has begun doing since walking is going to the bathroom for bath time at night. she would crawl to the tub from her room after we stripped her down, but now she can be playing in the kitchen and when we say/sign "bath" she stops what she is doing and heads straight to the bathtub! it surprised us a little the first time and now it is one of our favorite things to see each night. there is something so cute about seeing her toddle down the hallway to the bathroom.
that's it for tonight! love.
