Madeline enjoys the magazines that populate our living room, but not for the articles as you might expect. No, she loves tearing the pages out, then ripping those pages into ever smaller pieces until they are scattered in finger-sized shreds all over the floor._______
Tonight Madeline stood by herself for a good 15 seconds (go ahead, count it out. . .). She was holding onto my knee and she just let go and stood there, grasping her toy Stanley in one hand.
I'm in awe of how quickly she has progressed since her first crawl just a few weeks ago. Once she realized that she could get around, she just hasn't stopped. And she's getting so much more confident - she's climbing on top of objects and she's wandering from room to room without hesitation. A few weeks ago I thought baby gates were not an imminent necessity, but now it's obvious that we need them.
