Having been a toddler for several weeks now, it's only logical that Madeline has moved on to the next thing - dancing. Whenever we turn on some music she stops what she's doing and begins to bob up and down, flexing at the knees and thrusting her hips forward. She even adjusts her speed to match the music. And the music could be just about anything - tunes on the computer (as seen in the video above), mommy whistling or even a cell phone.
Also this week Madeline has discovered another piece of the mobility puzzle - she can stand up on her own. Until now she's needed support - a piece of furniture, an adult's leg, etc. - to pull herself up before walking around. She was growing visibly frustrated by this need, especially when she would tumble far away from the nearest object. But now she can just stand right back up without that extra support. She's so good at walking and stooping to pick up objects on the floor that it's not often she needs to get herself up, but it's another tool in her ever-expanding toolbox.
