Madeleine is still keeping us busy.  She has four teeth now, two top and two bottom.  She is also close to being able to walk.  She stands up by herself and is trying to take steps.  She usually falls down on the first step however.

Madeleine discovered that all the tissues in the box are the same.  I suppose you couldn't be sure of this until you pulled them all out yourself.

Madeleine has had a fascination with the end table in our family room and the pillow we lean against the table to keep her from bumping her head.

It is one of her favorite places to stand up.

She began trying to climb up the pillow in earnest a couple of weeks back.

We have now moved the end table to another location.

Madeleine eating Cheerios in her saucer.  She is getting close to outgrowing the saucer.  No wonder people have multiple children, it is just to get full usage out of all the early toys you end up buying!

A good size comparison shot.  Go back and look at the pictures of Madeleine and Pooh Bear on the March 11 page.

Madeleine with Mrs. Perry, the mother of one of Nancy's long time friends, Linda Villanueva, who is shown on the Madeleine at Home page.

Madeleine at Florentine's in San Jose.  This was her first time out to dinner with Mommy and Daddy. (She goes out to lunch with Mommy regularly.)

Out at Shoreline Park in Mountain View on Mommy and Daddy's third wedding anniversary.  We were married at the Rengstorff House at Shoreline Park.

Madeleine, refusing to look at the camera long enough for a picture to be taken.

And with Daddy at the park.

Madeleine has once again outgrown her tub.  No more baths in the kitchen sink.  Now she has an inflatable tub in the big bath tub.  She can splash all she wants now! (And she does)

Madeleine showing us either the position she holds in our hearts or what she has just done in her diaper.

Our family room has been converted into a play pen.  You can see the fence between Madeleine and the TV and fire place.  There is another fence at the other end of the room to keep her from venturing into the kitchen and dining room.

On Mommy's lap with some of the kitchen fence visible.  This limits the amount of baby-proofing we have to do,  at least until she learns to get through the fence.  Soon....

Madeleine standing up in the corner of her crib.  This is where we find her every morning when she wakes up. (Mommy wants it pointed out that Daddy dressed her this way.)

Madeleine helping out with the laundry!

Madeleine had a new bench toy that she likes to pull herself up on.  The lid for it is the blue thing in the background.  She decided she wanted the lid off.

Later, she showed us she wanted the lid off because she wanted to climb on in.
