Madeline is growing, all of a sudden!

All of a sudden, Madeline has started to get bigger! It makes me a little sad.  But she is suddenly able to stand on her own, she started signing, and she waves, points and says, "Bye." She is signing "Please", "More", and "All done"  and she is climbing on everything!
Matty and I had the weekend to ourselves last week. We spent our first night away from Madeline as she and Noah went to Oklahoma to see Grandma and Grandpa.  They had a blast and Matty and I just relaxed and regressed to the "old life".
 There is a funny Noah story from school - one of his teachers, Danielle, and he discussed some politics! Everyday at lunch, they discuss what they did last night or over the weekend. Here is how the conversation went this past Wednesday.
Noah: "Did you all watch the debate last night?"
Danielle: "Yes, I did."
Noah: "Who are you voting for, Danielle?"
Danielle: "Obama."
Noah: "Me too."
Noah: "Who is this Mitt Romney guy anyway?"
Danielle got hysterical!  Noah and I have discussed the election, but I promise you all, I haven't led the witness. 

Climbing!
