Our longest interval between updates so far.  Madeleine has started crawling on her own as well as pulling herself up on the furniture and cruising along.  Suddenly we can't find the time to go through pictures and update the web site!  Parenthood gets busier every week!

Madeleine now has two lower teeth and is starting to cut her first upper tooth.  She crawls across the room in the blink of an eye and gets taller every day it seems!

Madeleine on the bed.  She pulled herself up to help with the laundry.

A helping hand from mommy keeps her standing up longer.

Eventually she plopped down, then decided that chewing on the laundry basket was more fun than sorting laundry.

Madeleine and Oma taking a snooze together.

Madeleine posing for a Baby Gap ad in the living room.

After posing, she decided she wanted to stand up.  She got there all by herself.

Madeleine in her "Official American Baby" shirt.  You can just see a lump under the Gymini.  It turned out to be Oscar the cat snoozing under there.

Madeleine ready for bed.  Oscar wanted to get in on the love!

Madeleine in her new car seat, asleep, still chewing on the adjustment strap.

Madeleine playing on the floor in her room.  There is a wrench on the floor in the background of the shot.  Daddy was adjusting her crib.

Madeleine with Aunt Mary in Moraga.  If you look closely, you can see Madeleine's two teeth.

Sitting on the floor at Aunt Mary's in her over-alls.

Madeleine sitting in the grocery cart at Nob Hill for the first time.

A very common sight now, Madeleine standing up.  That pillow is there to keep her from bonking her head on the end table.  Anything placed on the end table is hers, as far as she is concerned.

Madeleine out on the back lawn.  When she gets fussy inside, sometimes a trip to the back yard and some new scenery will calm her down.

Even here, she wants to start crawling all over the place!

Madeleine with Louisa at Gayle's in Capitola.

Madeleine with Mitch at Gayle's.

Madeleine got to sit in a high chair at Gayle's where she could bang on the table all she wanted.

Still shots don't lend themselves to action, but here is Madeleine crawling.

And Madeleine out watching mommy and daddy doing yard work.
