Playground Videos

We have a park about a 5 minute walk from our apartment, and Madeleine has just begun to appreciate it. Needless to say, so have Sarah and I. Here she enjoys the slide and confounding dad's attempts to coax her down.

Fun with Dad

We found out Madeleine likes corn pancakes this morning. Pea also does, but that was sort of a given.

Madeleine Basketball! We enjoyed a day in Napa last week, visiting six wineries with Uncle Mark and Aunt Tukta. The corks from the wine bottles made all those hours in the carseat worth it.

CRAWLING

Finally! After months and months of the very efficient army crawl, miss M is now pulling up by herself and seems to want to walk (assisted heavily by us) everywhere. So, we started to lose hope that she would ever actually crawl. However, this evening she proved us wrong!

Happy Birthday Paul!

For Paul's 30th birthday we took a little road trip down the coast to monterey, carmel, big sur, and on the way back we stopped in santa cruz for dinner. It was a lot of fun and Madeleine made almost all the way home before she decided that she no longer wished to be in the car. Her screaming was quickly silenced by paul getting in the backseat with her and letting her lick our left over ice cream spoon. Ice cream has that effect on me too.

Determination

Few things keep Maddie's focus as much as the dog bowls...
