It's hard to believe that it's been more than 5 months already since Maddie came into our lives and even just the last month has gone by soo quickly. We've had lots of visitors and Maddie has learned to do quite a few new things.
In April Auntie Sara and cousin Arden came to visit. It was girls weekend and it was fun to watch the two girls play. They were so funny together. I can't wait till they are both a bit bigger and can talk and really play together.
This past week Grammy Sue and Aunti Kait came to visit. They were here for 41/2 days and even got to watch Maddie for a full day while both Jym and I were at work. It was great to see how Maddie interacted with them.
Maddie has also decided that she is a rolling fiend. She had been rolling front to back fairly consistently and from back to front occassionally. Now she rolls front to back to front to back to get places. She also pivots and is scooching backwards a bit as well. She will also every once in a while pull her legs up but hasn't quite figured it out as I think it's more on accident. The other little girl at day care who is a month older is starting to get on her hands and knees so I figure it's only a matter of time before Maddie is there. She's also been doing a lot better at sitting up by herself. She does sometimes fall and do a faceplant but for the most part does a great job at sitting up. And as always she is chatting up a storm.
We are currently working on getting her to sleep in her crib at night. We had two great stretches yesterday (4 hours and 5 hours) and hopefully tonight goes just as well. That being said as I haven't gotten a decent amount of sleep in months I'm going to bed! Till the next time.
