Complete Mobility


So I know it's been a while and it's about time to write a little update.  About three weeks ago, Madeline went from a step and tumble for a couple days to walking circles around the house!  The transition from crawling to walking is fantastic, amazing, and trouble!  Our house isn't the most "baby-proof" kind of house, if that even exists, and we constantly have to monitor Madeline.  She is a very curious girl and wants to get into everything, always!  She is really good, though, with finding out how to crawl up into her favorite chair in her playroom and getting down stairs.  Of course, she does have an occasional spill but rebounds almost immediately most of the time.  It is such a blessing to see her grow into this little person but it is sad at the same time to see our baby growing up.  More to come...Happy Halloween!

Dear Danielle,
It seems that the happiest mothers and fathers are those who learn to leave perfection at the door, to live in the moment...all adding up to celebrating the fun of being human.

I enjoyed reading of your lack of anxiety over steps and little spills. I spoke with Rachel today (Christmas Day) and when I asked her about Ethan's "routine" she said she is more relaxed being a responsive parent instead of a directive one...Ethan lets her know when he is hungry, sleepy, playful, etc.

Love, Merry Christmas,
Aunt Deborah
