Week Twenty-Five

January 23rd, 2009

Madeline’s arms and legs are getting stronger by the day. She is close to being able to sit up straight unsupported, she is standing firmly with our fingers as her support. And just this week, she has rolled from her back to stomach and has also started doing the "Superman." Andre’ calls it the airplane, because her arms are to her side rather than out in front of her like Superman.

Week Twenty-Four

January 23rd, 2009

It was mentioned in a previous post that Madeline finds the animals to be very amusing. Well, it’s at a whole new level now. She has started laughing even harder and squealing whenever the animals approach her when she’s in her walker. She likes to pet their noses and they are very curious about her. We’ve included two videos at the bottom of the post so you can see for yourself how fun it is to watch them interact. This goes on almost every evening now.
