Oh my.. I haven't written anything in two months?! Time has truly flown by!! Lets see here's new with Madyson.
1. Well most importantly.. she on the move. It seemed like it didn't take Madyson long to start crawling. She mastered it within a few days it seemed, of course at first it was a slow craw... now she's got some speed. She gets into everything. Things you wouldn't dream of her getting into, and she proves us wrong and goes straight for it... cords, dog toys, wires, anything and everything.
2. Toys - Honestly I have no idea why anyone buys her toys, she much rather play with plastic cups, spoons, and boxes. Those are her love for toys! She does have one toy that she doesn't really play with but whenever she gets upset about anything I can hand her this toy and she instantly smiles. Its a dog from leapster named violet. You can hook it up to the computer and update it as she grows. It calls her name personally and sings her a song that spells her name to her! She hears her name from the toy and instantly is a happy baby again!
3. Pool - Madyson LOVES the pool. Which didn't surprise me one bit. She loved the bathtub so why wouldn't she like the pool?? She loves water without a doubt! Shes the only baby that will put her face in the water and not cry when she comes out! Now, of course that worries me however it makes me laugh as well. Shes definitely gonna be a little fish once she learns how to swim!
4. Food - Not much into baby food anymore. Its like pulling teeth to get her to eat a whole thing of baby food anymore. She much rather have food that she can feed to herself. Ex: Cheerios, bite size foods, gold fish and etc... I only worry she isn't getting enough to fill her up so I'm constantly trying to sneak baby food in while she's distracted haha... She only has 2 teeth right now. One seems to be coming in its one of her side top teeth but its taking sometime to come on through. Hopefully soon it'll make its appearance.
5. Tricks - Madyson has now learned how some funny noises she can make. She sometimes sounds like she's chewing gum. She smacks her lips and its quite cute. Another noise she has mastered is rubbing her hands or objects in front of her mouth making a ... how do I explain this without making the noise.. haha.. the same noise if you had your index finger running over your lips up and down. haha I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. Another trick she likes is giving high fives. Mark started her on that one.
6. Drinks - She used to be a fan of apple juice however she got a cold a while back and it seems she has lost the appetite for it. One thing she likes for sure is sweet tea! Once again Mark got her on that kick! We don't give her alot of it but when she does get it, she seems to chug the whole thing down in one sitting. i have now started to give her a grape juice this week and she seems to appreciate that more so we will see how that goes...
7. Sleeping - Madyson has always blessed me with her easy sleeping skills. She has slept through the night since she was about 3 months old. I have been very blessed. Easy to lay down at night time too, when she is ready, she is READY. Of course now that I said this, tonight she won't be so easy, just you watch....
Over all we are very blessed to have Madyson. She is a happy baby always giggling and smiling, and mostly always a delight to be around. :D
Other news.... Mark and I are expecting our second child, and yes.. we know what causes that no worries. I am currently 19 weeks and we actually find out the sex of this baby tomorrow! We know its going to be a struggle with having two babies so close in age, but I know that Madyson and her sibling will be as close as ever when they grow up. All babies are such a blessing from God that we except this with open arms! Lets just hope our house will grow to accommodate however many children God wants us to have. :D
