Walking

Maddie has started taking some baby steps, one to four at a time! She loves standing and exploring. She enjoys pulling magnets and pictures off the refrigerator. We've added baby gates around the house to let her roam around more, but without her getting into too much trouble!

We'll post a video of her walking after the weekend.

L'Shana Tova! Happy New Year!

Happy Rosh Hashana!

Maddie is crawling fast now! Once she in on the ground, she'll crawl out of a room and be flying down the hall in a flash. Either that or crawling toward the absolute worst thing in the room that she can put in her mouth!

In other news, next Friday is Jessica's 30th b-day! Be sure to wish her a happy birthday!

Growing Up

We retired Maddie's table top bouncer this weekend as she outgrew it. For now, the swing is still safe!

We've also discovered that a sure way to get Maddie very giggly is to play "Shark Attack" or "Jaws" with her. Basically, put her on the bed, then duck down and circle around the bed while humming the Jaws theme. She tracks the sound around the bed and she gets giggle whenever the "shark" shows their head. When the shark strikes, she squeals and laughs a lot! It's the first real game like activity for her.

Maddie is also getting very good at high-fives and will do some patty-cake hand slaping also.
