Madeline has really grown up in the last couple of months. She is sitting up on her own. She reaches and stretches as far as she can to grab something that catches her interest. We have to be very careful with what we leave in her reach because she will grab and knock over everything. Things like cell phones and remote controls are especially coveted. She's not crawling yet it and might still be awhile because she despises being on her tummy. But she's definitely starting to want to move so now she just needs to figure out how.
We started her on solids a couple of weeks ago and she didn't seem to like it very much the first week. I was trying to trick her into opening her mouth so I could shove some food in there. But then something switched and she has taken to solids with gusto. Madeline's favorites are oatmeal, pears, butternut squash and carrots. I've been experimenting with making her purees and its been going pretty well so far. But she's still Mommy's booby girl and she's got the thighs to prove it! I love her big fat baby legs!
Madeline also sprouted a tooth last week! I really thought she was teething and I finally felt that bottom tooth poking through her gums. I think she's working on another one too because she's been pretty cranky the last couple of days.
Madeline has really found her voice. She is ha da da ba ba da ga-ing all the time. She only makes the ma ma sounds when she gets upset even though I'm trying my darndest to get her to say ma ma. And she is getting into the screaming/squealing phase. She can be so loud with her squeals but its really so cute that you can't get too mad.
Here are a few pictures for your viewing pleasure...

She gets cuter and cuter everytime you post pics (if that is even possible!). I can't wait to see y'all in a few weeks!
