The Mommy Blog

Just a test run to try out this whole blog thing... I have been meaning to get my act together and start blogging.

Today I finally have an excuse to try it out since Mike & Sarah have one of these things for the soon-to-arrive little one.

I'm hoping to post stuff on here from time to time to keep everyone up-to-date on what's happening.

The ongoing development at our house these days is that Madeline is getting justthisclose to walking. It's coming any time now, I can feel it. She is working out her sense of balance, and it's fun to watch her take little toddling steps every so often. Nothing I'd call "walking" yet, though.

One thing she did yesterday that made my jaw drop: Dave and I were doing our regular trade-off of entertaining/feeding/changing/preventing bodily harm to herself with Madeline. Dave had just made dinner and was cleaning up; I had just changed Madeline's diaper. Dave says, "Tell Mommy 'thank you,' Madeline!" And she said something that sounded like, "Tangoo!" I'm still in shock.
