the pocket lady

matt had a work event today and since it was a community-type event(read: child-friendly) maddie and i went to take a look. madelyn was particularly taken with "the pocket lady". she had a quilt like skirt with at least 30 pockets on it filled with surprises (like the tea pot she is holding in the picture). she also enjoyed dancing with the local high school cheerleaders/dance team. they performed twice and madelyn was really, really into it. she was even shaking her hands like they were with their pom-poms! sometimes she would freeze her dancing to just stare when they did a jump or something in unison. i should have taken a video, but it was lightly raining and i was carrying a lot of treats that we had been given during our visit.

i took this video yesterday too trying to catch her growling "mmmmm". you can sort of catch it a few times, but the funny part is that i caught her climbing into the pantry cabinet to get out a jar of baby food that she then brings to the table to eat (she didn't though). we have a few jars left and when she gets them out we let her eat them. my favorite part (besides the climbing into the pantry) is when i ask her if its good and she stops to take a closer look at what she is carrying - as if to decide if it is indeed "good". love.
