Update

I am sorry that I have not posted anything in a while. Life has been very crazy lately!! Maddie was sleeping really well but the past week or so, she has not been sleeping well at all. She is waking up at least once a night and not napping during the day very well. She has also been kind of crank lately. I think that all this is caused because she is starting to teeth. She is chewing on her thumb like it is going out of style and drooling all over the place. On a better note, Madelyn has been rolling over for a few weeks now. Anytime she is put on her back she is constantly trying to roll over. Trying to change her diaper is like a sport now...I have to keep a forearm on her stomach so I can change the diaper. I now know why changing pads have straps!! :) Here are some pictures as of late. We are still trying rice cereal. They are feeding her one meal at daycare and I am feeding her one meal at home. Some days she seems to really enjoy it and some other days she could care less... Our first Halloween outfit...She spit up on it right before this picture. Mom, stop taking my picture!!

Cereal!!

So this morning I tried rice cereal with Maddie and she could not have been less interested....I think that I am going to try it again tonight but she might not be ready for the spoon quite yet. She was not really sure what to think of all this but she did know that it was not a bottle. She did not keep any of the cereal in her mouth and it all ended up on her chin. :) Hungry and not understanding that this cereal is food too :) Very angry with me for not giving her a bottle right away... She was less than impressed with the cereal :) She just wanted a bottle.

Silly Tears

So I had a good cry last night for no reason...I used to think that my mom was silly because she always said that she could not watch movies or read books that involved children getting hurt. I always thought that was kind of silly because you knew that the movie/book was not real. Well, last night I understood how she feels. I was watching a silly show about two babies that were switched at birth and at 9 months their parents found out and they had to switch babies. I was bawling and had to turn it off because I could not control myself! I think I am going to be just like my mom!! :) Anyway, Maddie was sleeping all through the night for the past few days but woke up a few times again last night...maybe tonight will be back to normal :) I have also decided to wait until Saturday to start the rice cereal with Madelyn. I am not going to put it in her bottle because I have read scary things about children aspirating (spelling??) on it. Putting it in a bottle also causes the babies to not learn the stop reflex when they are eating...So, I am going to try feeing Madelyn rice cereal on Saturday morning!! There will be pictures of that for sure :)

Miss Piggy!!

Madelyn has become Miss Piggy!! She is hungry all the time and cannot wait more than two hours between feedings. I am thinking about putting rice cereal into her bottles a few times a day...Anyone have any advice for me about this? She is actually sleeping really well but is hungry all the time during the day. Let me know if you have any advice about what bottles to use to do this, or anything else I might want to know :)

Bath Time!

I wish I had those eye lashes!! :) Madelyn loves to be naked after her bath! She really loves her after bath baby massage :) It is her favorite time of the day. She starts to smile and laugh whenever she sees the tube of lotion...Not much else new here. Will post when we have more to say :)
