It has been too long since I have posted an update on our sweet baby girl, so here we go!
Maddie is more fun every day. Everyone told me that I would love this age, and it has not let me down. She will be 8 months old in about a week, and I cannot believe it. At her last check up at the end of May she was 17.2 pounds - growing every day. Most of that 17.2 is in her cheeks and legs, but I would not have it any other way (she gets that from me!).
Speaking of getting things from me, she loves to eat! So far she loves carrots, avocado, bananas, pears, and apple sauce. She is not a fan of asparagus! She also loves Baby Mum Mums, teething biscuits, and any kind of puffs. It is so fun to watch her make a mess of food.
Maddie is sitting up now, but still not well enough to leave the room with her sitting. We have to be close by for when she decides to make a dive for something. She has not yet started to crawl but is trying hard. I know that once she starts she will not stop!
This week I have kept another little boy three days. I did not know how Maddie would react to another baby being around, or my attention being split - but she has been so good. When I hold Easton and walk up to Maddie she dies laughing - such a flirt already. She is having so much fun watching him... I on the other hand wonder how mothers with twins do it!! You should have seen me walking into the gym with two kids, both in carseats and two diaper bags - a sight to behold.
Maddie says "mama" now, but only when she is crying! We are working on that :) She just yells "mamamamamama" over and over again - its sorta sad.
I hope that she likes being my little girl as much as I like being her mama. She makes me happier than I ever knew. Being a mama is something I think I was meant to do - she fills my life with love and brings countless smiles to my face every day!
