Alex was childproofing the cabinets since Madison has figured out that they open and there are things hiding inside that she shouldn't play with. She still wanders around to each door and tries to pull it open, hoping maybe the door will open.
This picture just melts my heart. It is so amazing to see her learning and following our examples. She looks up to us and is always trying to be like us.
Madison's newest toy....
The broom
Too bad she doesn't understand how to sweep the floor yet :)
Now that Madison is mobile she is always helping aka getting into things. One of her favorite things to help with is the dishes, especially if they are dirty. She pulls the silverware out and throws it into the bottom of the dishwasher because it makes fun noises. Got to love kids.
One of Madison's favorite activities is reading books. She sits and listens to us read book after book to her. She loves books that have things to feel and move. Sometimes she gets too impatient to listen and just turns pages. She got a really fun book about dogs for Christmas that she loves reading. Everytime she sees a dog she freezes and watches it, and loves to play with Sydneys dogs. Hopefully she will still like reading when she gets older.
Okay, so it's almost impossible to get a picture of Madison that isn't blurry these days. She is always on the move and any time I pull the camera out she is right there grabbing for it before I can even get it turned on. She loves to walk along the couches and furniture, and crawls any time that isn't possible.
So little Miss Madison is getting bigger and bigger everyday. Recently Madison had discovered that her light switch is in perfect reach when she wakes up from her nap to get moms attention when she is taking to long to come get her. She turns the light on and off until someone comes and rescues her. It's funny to see how excited she is that she figured this out, although it isn't funny when she turns her light on in the middle of the night. Our fix for this to keep this smart little girl from turning on the light... tape. Lots of masking tape. It keeps Madison from turning on the light, as well as us.
