What you both are up to these days?

Dean
You are obsessed with everything involving Madeline- especially her feet.  We are constantly telling you to leave her alone.

You love reading.  Some of our current favorites are the Frog and Toad short stories and the Pigeon books.

You love watching your shows- Peppa Pig, Dino Dan (this is a new favorite), Curious George and for a while Sid the Science Kid.

You try to drive me crazy any chance you can get-- your latest is the jumping on the guestbed (we know it as the big girl bed). Just tonight you decided we are going to do thumps up for good behavior and thumbs down for bad behavior. You want me to make a chart for the refrigerator.

Madeline
You are obessed with Dean and he always makes you smile-- even thought he takes whatever it is you are playing with.

You like to play with Dean's toys and you are constantly trying to get to the Thomas Windwill.

You are standing and starting to cruise- although I prefer if you stick with crawling.

You love eating these days- especially oatmeal cereal and homemade babyfood.

You love your purple sippy cup and enjoy teething on it- althought I don't think you figured out how to actually drink from it.

You are super quiet- except at night when its just you and Mom.

You have the sweetest most precious smile.
