All Grows Up

Maddux is growing up so much each day...right before my eyes! She still isn't consecutively crawling, but she'll get where she needs to go by crawling, hopping, and rolling until she gets there. No longer is she content to sit and play in one spot. Also, sometimes she can get herself to a seated position on her own; Maddux will get up onto her knees, like she's going to hop, and then push back until she's sitting. Her new favorite thing to do is sit up in her crib and play with the aquarium (just like Eli loved to do). Now she'll pull up on the rails and stand too. Mad Dog has a new vocal sound now too...not sure how to describe it, but I will do my best to capture it soon to demonstrate. It's full of personality (much like her), I can tell you that!

Even though Maddux still does not do well in the pursuit of Cheerios or puffs when it comes to hand-mouth success, she has moved on to cooked egg yolks and wheat toast, which she seems to love. If I cut them into strips, she can easily hold them while still eating them, so everyone wins.
