Playtime Fun

In our efforts to regain our groove, we've spent lots of time just going about our normal business. After Madeline's afternoon nap, lots of playing around the house has taken place. Unfortunately for us, the yard in this rental house is a bit scary, so we can't take advantage of the awesome weather and play outside. So, indoors it is, but that's okay. Madeline doesn't seem to mind.

The ball popper balls are fun to carry around the house. Unfortunately, they end up in random places, so in efforts not to lose them, I try to keep an eye out for where they get dropped. We've had several go MIA, but luckily, Daddy's keen eye found them for us!

Madeline is not much of a climber, but she has started to take some daring moves (well, daring for Madeline) to stand on the bean bag in efforts to climb to the sofa. She's not terribly persistent or dead set on getting onto the sofa, so she ends up flailing around on the bean bag.

When Daddy is around, stuff like this ends up happening...

Flailing around in the bean bag is big fun! This really gets Madeline's belly laughs going. It's super cute to watch.

The ball popper Madeline received for her birthday is a huge hit. She loves to lean over the fan part and let it blow her hair and in her face. At first, Madeline would let all the balls pop everywhere, and we would have to retrieve them for her. Now, she chases after them, puts them back into the hole, and starts it all over again. Lots of entertainment in such a simple toy...
