Madeline the Gymnast!

We have been trying to keep Maddie busy this summer with fun activities. One of them was gymnastics. Our local gym had 2 one week sessions in June and July. Maddie loves it! We went to watch today and were very impressed with what she could do. I think she's a natural! We weren't' sure if we were going to sign her up for just tap and ballet or also do gymnastics but have decided that she can do both as she enjoys gymnastics so much.
Sorry the pictures are a little fuzzy. The lighting was a little weird and she was in motion but you can get the general idea.
Here she is doing a straddle roll.

I kept trying to catch her in mid roll but my camera has a slight delay so, here she is again starting a straddle roll. Nana took more pictures with Paw-paw's super nice camera, so I will post better pictures later when I can get to their computer.
I've talked about Will's milestones a lot and realized that I don't mention Maddie's as much. She is growing up quickly! She can dress herself most of the time except for shirt buttons, she can finally reach the sink with her stool and washes her hands by herself, she likes to fill her water cup too, she recognizes all of her letters and knows most of the sounds they make, she is working on writing her name but has a little trouble remembering the order of the letters. She is her mother's daughter and loves books. We go to the library every week and check out 8 books. Just like me, she can't wait and has to have them all read to her that day! She will be taking swimming lessons next week, so I will let everyone know how that goes.
Madeline also like to play beauty shop. We all take turns doing each other's hair. This was mine and Nathan's most recent creation.
