Playing Around

Over the last couple of weekends we've captured some great videos of Maddie!

Here's one we took when she just started walking. She is now zooming all over the place!


Maddie is just playing around in this one! We still have her jumperoo upstairs (with the basement in utter disrepair!) and she's been hitting the buttons on there to get the music going and will then stomp her feet to it! She's also really gotten into "throwing" balls around and this shows her having a great time with that new skill!


And she's also adopted one of the sofa pillows as her "princess pillow"! She picks it up, carries it around the house with her, puts in on the ground and then rests her head on it. She'll also sit on top of it, as if it's her little princess throne!


She also has this shoulder dance that she does sometimes and it is the funniest thing! She'll stand and move her shoulders up and down, so that her right shoulder is up and left shoulder is down, and then vice versa. Sometimes she even throws a little tummy thrust in there. It's too cute!! Maddie is just so much fun!

Maddie's also becoming quite the little builder! We have a set of giant legos and she loves to build with them! I have so much fun watching her do this too! You can see her thinking about which piece she wants to grab next and playing with where she'd like it put. I love it too that she doesn't bat an eye if it falls over or something doesn't work. She just starts over and builds something completely new and is totally happy building that! We may have a budding architect on our hands!

We are having an awesome time seeing her personality emerge and playing alongside her!

We love you all!
