Update *edited*

CHOP weigh in today: 19 lbs. 14.5 oz.
Doing really well with solids. Wolfs down sweet potatoes like crazy.
Trying table food slowly but surely. (Lady Gags-a-lot apparently doesn't take kindly to anything but overcooked noodles and banana, so far.)
*edit: Also loves 'grown up' applesauce. Mott's Healthy Harvest has blueberry, strawberry, or peach-mango. All delish. Plus after much effort, she's starting to succeed at getting those little baby rice puffs in her mouth. We're all very proud.*
May try puree of baked ziti tonight. :-)
Crawling all over.
Especially likes "reading", a. k. a. "eating" books.
Loves Max, especially his tags.

Picture Strips from OCNJ boardwalk

First we took this one, which didn't turn out to well. The camera was really close to the back of the booth, and we barely got the three of us into it before it started flashing.

Farther down the boardwalk, at one of the older arcades, we took this 'old fashioned' one. We've been doing pictures strips since the first summer we were dating, and we loved adding Maddie to this tradition.

Maddie Week of 08-13-07

She Crawls!

We weren't sure it was going to happen - some babies don't (Meg didn't!), but Maddie decided she wanted was in that basket over there across the room, and off she went!

She's been practicing it all day. She really enjoys chasing your toes across the room. (As seen here!)

Maddie Milestones Added!

They're here! Scroll down and you'll find the Maddie Milestones on the right sidebar on this page, below the pictures. They begin with the most recent and take us back in time to day 1!
They will be updated as regularly as possible. Enjoy!

Coming Soon - "Maddie Milestones"!

Something else for you dear friends and family, near and far:

As soon as we get all the records together (tomorrow, if she naps a while?) we'll be adding a new section to the kiddo's blog. "Maddie Milestones" will share what developmental/motor skill milestones our munchkin has hit, and when. (And perhaps a few interesting stories behind them.)

Keep checking! It's on tomorrow's To-Do list!
