I can't believe this sweet girl is almost a year old!
This month has been another full of changes for Miss Maddie!
One of the biggest changes is weaning! She now takes two bottles of formula a day, one in the morning and one at night, no more nursing with mommy. She had no issues transition which was a nice surprise and she enjoys being fed by Daddy these days!
The other big change has been taking her first steps! She isn't walking all the time but is cruising and take those few steps often! So cute!!
She still loves to eat and is trying her hand at eating with a spoon. This is usually the result!
She experienced her first snow and was even able to go for a little sled ride! She doesn't really mind the cold at all and laughs every time the wind blows on her face.
She still loves her sister! Sophi has really started to love on her and take care of her like such a big sister!
Sophi has been sick with the stomach bug this week and I have had to keep Maddie as far away from her as possible. Whenever she would manage to get away she would make a b-line straight for Sophi and talk and giggle with her. She has really missed her big sister this week!
Notice her finger in her ear? We have two more ear infections and are scheduled to meet with a pediatric ENT to discuss removing her adnoids. Poor girl!
She has become very expressive as of late not so much in her words but in her noises and faces!
She is not afraid to let you know how she feels, which is often happy and giggly!
She is also really into mimicking right now, especially her sister and gets so tickled at herself when she gets it right!
She has had a few fun visitors over the past month. So fun to have GiGi come to see us for a day!
And Jumbo, the class pet in Sophi's preschool room who came to spend a weekend with us!
I forgot to mention last month that Maddie got her first tooth. She now has two on the bottom but so far that is it. What a cutie!
She is started to say "MaMa" but it can be used to refer to myself, along with just about everything else. She doesn't say anything else besides "uh oh" but she sure does make LOTS of noise!
And check out those curls! So precious!
She is not fearless like her sister at this age but is definitely into everything! Loves pulling things out, putting things in, opening cabinets, closing cabinets, and on and on! Such a fun age!
Maddie we love you and those amazing blue eyes,
sweet curls
and sweet smile!
Loving sharing life with you!
