Madeline Update

Lots of funny comments from her lately:

1) At the grocery store to a teenage boy with long hair: “Mommy, is that a boy or a girl?”
2) During the same trip about a man in huge overalls: “Mommy, he lives on the farm.”
3) When being questioned about her ouchie: “I am not going to talk about it.”
4) Clarifying Mommy’s ‘It’s not a big deal’ comment: “It’s not a big deal, Mommy, but it’s a little deal, right?”

She is really into jumping these days – over Nathan’s legs, off the stairs, down the hallway. Not sure what that is about. And she is still working on writing her name.


Henry Update

He cut his 4th tooth last week, so he has two on top and two on the bottom. He’s been pulling himself up to standing for awhile, but now he’s starting to let go and balance himself. He’s also been starting to try to climb things – like trying to get up on the couch or climbing into baskets. And, finally, we can get him to boogie. He has two signature moves – the head roll from side to side and the hip wiggle. Both pretty cute, but my favorite is the first because he’s got an enormous head and it looks like it’s so much work for him to deliberately move it.
