Busy Girl

Maddie is very busy these days! She's always looking around her and likes to be in the middle of the "action". Maddie loves hitting and grabbing at her toys. She also loves putting things in her mouth and has recently "found" her toes. She's a big "talker" and loves when you talk to her.

This week, her Nana and Mimi (Great Aunt Marian) are visiting and helping out while Daddy is in Chicago for the week. Mommy, Maddie, and Molly love all the extra attention (and help)!!! THANK YOU!!




















This week's "Maddie Movie":

Happy Father's Day! - updated

Maddie is 3 months old! I can hardly believe it!! She's growing like a little weed, and it's not until we're out and someone says how tiny she is that I remember she really is still a little squirt. She seems to be trying to roll over. She keeps teasing us with her attempts, but her lower half isn't quite communicating with her truck yet. :0)

Maddie loved meeting her Aunt Kelly and Uncle Daniel last week when they came down for a visit! They brought her some adorable outfits to wear! One of them is the outfit she has on in the first 3 pictures. :0)

A belated "Happy Father's Day" to all the dads out there!! Maddie and I scheduled a 75 minute massage for Daddy at a local spa, a mouse pad with Maddie's picture on it, and a collage of pictures of Daddy and Maddie together for his office. We hope he enjoyed his first Father's Day!

In the 3rd picture, Molly finally got her big kiss on Maddie's mouth. Mommy wasn't quite fast enough... D'oh!!

























This week's "Maddie Movie"...

Jinx

D'oh! Well, I jinxed myself with all my bragging last week! Maddie wasn't a good night time sleeper this week... oh well! :0)

Maddie has been working on picking her head and chest off the ground when she's on her belly. She's also keeping her head pretty steady when we hold her in a sitting position. On Friday, I sat her in her Bumbo chair and she stayed steady and upright for several minutes. I was able to snap some good shots of Maddie and Molly while she was in her chair. I love my girls...

Big Sleeper!!

I have to brag! My sweet little Maddie slept through the night (6 or more consecutive hours) 5 out of the 7 days last week! On Wednesday night, she slept 10 hours!! YAHOO!! WOO-WOO!!! I'm crossing my fingers that this is a sleeping pattern and not a fluke!! (My apologizes to the mommies out there whose babies are not good night time sleepers. So so so sorry!)

Napping is a whole other thing. She still fights her naps and becomes very, very cranky... but... if I had to choose between a good night time sleeper and a good napper I'll take the night time sleeper! No complaints from me!!

Also, sad news. My wonderful Sony Cyber-shot camera, that is only 5 years old, dropped dead of overuse and exhaustion this weekend and because it costs more to fix it than buy a new one... I bought a new one. It's a Canon Powershot. I hope it has the energy to keep up with a picture crazy mommy! :0)



























Here's video of Maddie doing her "exercises". She LOVES her Rainforest Gym Mat. Thank you Carol and Lisa!!!
