Walking Everywhere
This past weekend we headed to the beach for the official start of summer, over Memorial Day weekend. Both the Livingoods and the Zangers were on hand to celebrate Katie's 30th birthday as a family. The weather was mostly quite good and it was wonderful to be at the shore again after a difficult and challenging winter as a family! What a relief the sun and surf was!!
In other news Madeline started walking a lot over the past week or so. This past weekend she really did it nearly non-stop. She'd get very unhappy if she was unable to walk. It's quite an adjustment to see her walking down the hall and around corners well. Now, of course, we are dealing with constant falls and crying but I suppose that comes with the territory.
Maddie is also adding to her vocabulary, which seems quite good for a 12 1/2 month old. So far she's got:
1. Mama
2. Dada
3. Pop-Pop
4. Dog
5. Ball
6. Nana (which is Banana)
7. Flower (kind of)
8. No (usually no-no-no-no-no)
9. Bear (referring to stuffed animals and teddy bears)
