A Bug's World

Madeline is getting stronger and that’s allowing her to try new things. She has been using various objects to stand up and then letting go of them. She can stand for up to a minute or so unassisted. Each day she seems to be getting closer to standing on her own. Her cruising is going very well and she enjoys walking around with us assisting her. She has also learned to climb the stairs. The first night we tried this week, Jennifer had to lift her foot to the step and she would then push off of it. But the next night, she seemed to understand what to do and she went up the steps with her daddy following her.

Madeline received a neat gift from Jennifer’s dad, aka Papa Willie. He brought Madeline his childhood rocking chair. He had it reupholstered and cleaned up. The chair is almost 60 years old.

Thank you for the rocker! We will enjoy having it in our home and we know she will sit in it a lot.
