Move over Shawn Johnson...



....I'm moving up. That's right. I'm in tumbling class now and let me tell you, I sure enjoy it. The balance beam is pretty cool. I don't think it's very tough to walk across. Maybe it's because I have a low center of gravity...being short has it's benefits. Also, the uneven bars aren't that difficult either. The most challenging thing is remembering how to let go. But I can hang on really long....like maybe 5 seconds all by myself.

Also, I'm getting more teeth. Mom and Dad really like it when I'm teething. (note sarcasm) But I'm drooling quite a bit again.

Mom and Dad also say I will need some remedial training before I start dating. I'm not sure what they are talking about since I now eat with a spoon all by myself. Granted, I turn the spoon over before I get it all the way to my mouth so some, well most, of the stuff falls off on my bib and then I rub it in my hair. I like to think I'm creating an organic hair product similar to gel or hairspray.

Oh yes, I'm not the youngest anymore....cousin that is. I now have a new baby cousin, Hailey. I can't wait to meet her. Mom and Dad say I get to visit real soon and I can't wait. I wonder if she likes building with blocks, reading books, or can do puzzles by herself? I can do all of those. I have a basket that holds all of my books, today I thought I would see if it would hold me....it does.





I have a new tent/tunnel and for some reason Dad doesn't want to share with me. I thought it was my toy, but apparently he's really into princesses and castles as well. Soon enough I will train him to play tea party. My other favorite toy right now is my Ice Cream riding toy. I dig it.

I got to go sledding today. It was pretty intense. Dad pulled me and then mom pulled me around the driveway. I thought it was pretty fun!



Last week it was really cold and I got to stay home with mom one day because it was really, really, really cold...like ice. Anyway, the University was closed so we had a play day. Well, since it was so cold I thought I would help cover the dogs with mom's dish towels, don't worry the towels were dry, to help keep the dogs warm. Here's a pic of one.




Until next time - Madeline
