I Can Stand and Play!

Madeline can now stand and play! She is working on balance and how to place her feet, but she is doing great. It is funny to watch her pull herself up. She sits with her feet together and knees out, (like a butterfly for those dancers) and pulls up with both feet still together. She can pull her self up normally too, but this way is my favorite for now.

She is standing in her crib as well. Jake had to lower it again because she was totally looking over, yikes. We had fun taking pictures of her playing around in the crib and standing with support. Watch out she loves to smile for the camera, we are in trouble already!

What's with the title?

While I was inspired to create this blog, I couldn't help but think what I would write? Of course I love to share pictures of Madeline, but what else? Madeline is amazing and has completely made our lives sooo much sweeter. We couldn't imagine life without her. Jake and I feel so blessed and lucky to have the life we have with our family and friends. So we decided to use this blog to express how thankful we are and to take the time to truly appreciate "how sweet it is to be loved" by our family and friends, you!
