Update

Well, I haven't been very good about updating lately! Things have been busy as usual. Last week we kept my parents animals while they were out of town. That was interesting! Casper misses his kitty friend =) and Daisy has been a bit sad too. This week I am keeping a friend's little boy for a few days. Madelyn loves having a friend! Although she was a bit too interested in his food. She grabbed the baby food jar & proceeded to try to stick it in her mouth. I think she got a taste of sweet potatoes. Girl is ready for some real food! She turned 5 months old on Friday. Hard to believe! Here are some things about her now.

- She still sleeps about 10 hours each night. Sometimes 9, others 12. Must be a growing baby!
- Nap time is getting better...when we're at home at least. She takes about an hour nap, but hasn't really been fighting about it lately.
- She still only weighs 13 pounds! This despite nursing, supplementing with formula, and cereal twice per day. She's a little piglet! She loves food!
- She can sit up all by herself! She made this accomplishment last Monday, & can now sit up for a couple of minutes at a time before she falls over, & then tries to get back up again.
- She likes to stand up too, & she'll take little steps while you're holding her. As long as she's not on her tummy, she's ok. We fight tummy time every day. I swear I don't think she will crawl...
- She is super sweet. She love giving hugs & kisses, very wet kisses...sometimes she'll just lick you.
- She is quite independent. When she will take a paci (usually only in her carseat), she will take it out after you put it in, & then put it back in her mouth. She's getting pretty good at that.
- She loves to chat & scream, she'll call me "Ma" every so often, & she laugs a LOT.
- She likes for you to play with her feet, blow on them, & tickle them. She is quite ticklish!
- She is a mommy's girl & a daddy's girl. But she is SOOO excited when daddy gets home!

As for me, I am dreading going back to work in a couple of weeks! I will miss my sweet girl dearly. We've made a good bit of pictures lately, so I will post them within the next few days.
