Big Girls Don't Cry

Well, mine does. She is no longer a scrawny baby girl, that is for sure! Maddux has grown so much in the last two weeks; she is no longer frail (hip hip hooray!) But when she is hungry, she'll let you know without fail. That girl can scream!

Eli loves to hold her and will ask to do so by sitting down next to her when she's on a blanket on the ground. As he reaches for Maddux he asks us, "Hold?" Of course he loses interest after a minute or so, but it's the thought that counts, right? Today for the first time he tried to pick her up without asking. We were doing couch time (and thus trying to 'ignore' the kids) and Eli sat down next to Maddux and reached over to her midsection as he's seen us do. We had to break our rule of not intervening with Eli during couch time to remind him not to pick her up, but again, it's the thought that counts.
