Rachel says, on Facebook:
Madeleine just did something pretty clever- she made up a stack of duplos, with a base and a larger block at the top, held it up, and said, "Space Needle."
This probably is completely age appropriate, but somehow i'm impressed. It also does a good job, somehow, of summing up where the girl is right now. She loves the space needle, and is starting to get to know her larger home of Seattle. She can talk - often in quite grammatically correct sentences. She can build, with Legos! It is hard to believe what a person she has become - what a vibrant, and cheerful, and loving, and interested person she has become. But, with many hugs to her - she'll exceed all of our expectations.
I was playing with her after buying her some Duplos, and in a shameless attempt to pander to her interests (and riffing off the set they had at the Lego store), built her a Space Needle. She was delighted, and has had me build one for her a few other times. I'm glad she's figured out how to build one herself, that's very cool.
