Happy 7 months Maddie!

Maddie turned 7 months old yesterday and here are some things she has been up to this past month.




She is officially sitting up without support. I still put pillows around her when I'm not within hands reach just in case she falls over.
She is eating stage 2 foods. She has eaten everything that I have given her with the exception of green peas. She has also started feeding herself mum mums and she has tried a few cheerios.
Maddie has been sleeping in her crib for the first half of the night. She is normally in bed by 8. She usually ends up in our room after 11. She still wakes up once in the night to eat.
Maddie is eating 5 ounces of formula every 3 to 4 hours and eats 2 solid meals a day.
She is still wearing size 2 diapers and can wear 3 to 6 month clothing.
Maddie really enjoys sitting on the floor playing with toys. She reaches for toys and is starting to show an interest in crawling. When she is on her tummy she tries to reach for things and kicks her feet. I'm sure she will be crawling soon. A few times I have laid her head at one end of the crib and when I go check on her, her head is at the opposite end. Today I laid her on her back in the living room floor while I put Mason in the bath tub and came back to find this....



Mason had left a bag of cereal on the floor and Maddie slung it everywhere!

Maddie is still squealing a lot but has now added mum mum mum to her vocabulary.
I have started bathing the kids together most nights and Maddie seems to really enjoy this time. She splashes around and tries to play with Mason's toys. Mason is still learning to share, but he loves having her in there too!
Maddie is changing and growing so quickly. She is such a content and happy baby!
