Madeleine - Week 49

Holy cow - it's Madeleine's birthday month! I can't get over how fast time has passed this last year. Ok, maybe not the first few weeks of the last year but most of the last year.

This week's photo celebrates Madeleine's love for exploring the world around her. (Please forgive her for sitting side on the fleur-de-lis.) She wants to explore, feel, see, taste, climb, smell, and really experience everything around her. It's exciting to watch and exhausting to keep her from hurting herself or completely destroying the house. Mostly, though, I think back to the baby preparation class where I said my biggest hope was for a curious child.

In celebration of Madeleine's curiosity, warm weather making its way to the Pacific Northwest, and the final week before the home stretch into the 50s, I'll share some photos from yesterday's water sensory play.
