Maddie's favorite game right now is peek-a-boo...she just loves it! We've been playing it with her for a while, and we would lift something up in front of her face and then drop it down while we said "peek-a-boo!". As of this past Sunday, she has now mastered the peek-a-boo game all on her own! For the first time, she grabbed a little lovie blanket we have and she put it up in front of her face for a second and then dropped it down. David and I both looked at each other and said "peek-a-boo!" and she had a big smile on her face! She kept doing it over and over again - it was so cute! She would lift the blanket up...sometimes even on top of her head and not covering her eyes at all...and then lower it down and smile and laugh when we said "peek-a-boo!" to her! It was so fun playing a game with her! And one that she initiated! We sure do have a smart cookie on our hands!
Another new favorite of hers is to turn off the light switch. Every night when we're getting ready for bath time, we play in the mirror a little bit. The light switch for our bedroom is right next to our full length mirror and a few weeks ago she noticed the light switch and was interested in it. So we started practicing turning the lights on and off when we went to play in the mirror. She is officially a total pro at turning the lights off! As soon as she does it, she gets excited and starts patting your shoulder - it's so adorable! We're still practicing the motions for turning on the lights, but she has a great time turning them off!
All our love!

what a girl that maddie is. she is learning so much: how to hold on to something and to take a few steps, how to smile, laugh,play with objects and now to play a game with others. this intentional interaction with others is a huge step in her social development. how blessed she is to have parents who encourage her to play, to laugh and to have fun. what a great family.
love you a bunch, papa bob
