Madeleine celebrated her birthday recently with Grammie and Grandpa, who made some special "Madeleine cookies" at her request. She has certainly grown up a lot in the last year. She is loving reading and sewing, and recently started violin lessons. She seems to have hit a good rhythm in terms of being helpful at home, playing with her brothers, and being generally really pleasant and happy.
He is commando crawling all over, and getting up on his knees to try and pull up on things. He eats anything - isn't picky at all yet - and has two solid naps (if we're actually home, that is). He is still usually waking up once in the early hours of the morning, and then goes back to sleep. He is not very interested in any of his own toys, but loves playing with Madeleine's horses, or Ross's race cars, or plastic cups.
