There Go The Bumpers!

It is insane how quickly Maddie is learning to do things! Yesterday K let me know that while she was at daycare she pulled herself up in the crib by holding onto the crib rails! So, off came the bumpers last night! We had lowered Maddie's crib down a couple weeks ago - just in time it looks like!

This morning we were also playing around and I decided to have her practice standing up against the sofa. I took off one of the bottom cushions so that the ledge wouldn't be too high for her to reach. Maddie easily pulled herself up to standing against the sofa and then spied the tv remote control on the cushion next to where she was standing. The tv remote is one of her favorite toys, so off she went! She started moving herself over to the higher cushion, moving her arms and legs to sort of pull herself over there while holding onto the couch! Holy cow! Her legs weren't strong enough to support her the whole time, so I held her up, but she had all the maneuvers down and was able to get over to reach the remote! Wowzers!

Our girl is learning so much! She is going to be zooming all over the place in no time flat!

Love you all!
David, Nile & Maddie
