more boise pictures

madeleine learned a few new tricks while she was in boise. going up the stairs was one of them.

she also learned to go down them.

while we were in boise, we decided that we were going to get madeleine some shoes. when we tried a pair on her at the store, she wouldn't even take a step. she just got down on her hands and knees and cried. but when we put a pair of crocs on her, she didn't cry.

my mother-in-law is also a big fan of crocs. now madeleine and grammy have their crocs that they can wear together.



we also found another pair of shoes that she would put up with.


madeleine used to cry whenever i brushed my teeth because she wanted my toothbrush, so i finally bought her a toothbrush of her own. she likes to carry it around with her. could this be considered a genetic trait? if so, i'm pretty sure she gets this from my dad.
