Apparently the pancakes weren't filling enough for her, because she went over to the built-in cupboard and helped herself to some sea salt and lime tortilla chips after getting down from her high chair.
Aside from finding a way to obtain food despite any obstacles in her way, Madeleine also has a few new favorite skills, among them shaking her head from side to side, as well as pointing at various objects and asking, "Whatzat?" In fact, she so loves asking "whatzat" that she sometimes asks before having determined which item she is actually inquiring about. She'll ask, "Whatzat?" while pointing her finger around in several directions, finally landing on a fixed point, waiting for us to tell her exactly what it is. Then she'll adjust her finger ever so slightly, or sometimes, continue to point at the same spot, all the while asking, "Whatzat?" I think her delight in being able to say this particular phrase is greater than her desire to actually know what things are.
When she's not pointing and asking "whatzat?," she is most likely pointing at something and declaring, "DAAAA!" This new game evolved between Madeleine and Ethan, but I have recently been brought into the circle as well. The game continues as long as all parties continue pointing at each other and exclaiming, "DAAAA!" At some point someone (usually the adult) gets tired of the game and decides to move on, but until that point, it's a captivatingly stimulating experience. DAAAAA!
Here is a little video of Madeleine performing her various new tricks:
Last but not least, I share with you a photo taken of the girls with their aunties, using Caitlyn's face-distortion device on her computer. Words cannot really do it justice:
Good job shaking your head in the background while Daddy is trying to get Madeleine to do it Julia! You're the best!!
ReplyDeleteMadeleine in that photobooth picture is too adorable. I just want to eat her face.
Her huge owl eyes are really amplified in that picture.
