Did you know that Madelyn Joy shares a birthday with Elvis Presley and Stephen Hawking? Well now you know. :)
Check out the poll that we posted in the sidebar and let us know your thoughts. This is a very important parenting question.
Mady just celebrated her 5 month birthday. As you can see in the picture, she is developing some fine motor skills. She has a very exciting month ahead of her. We will be taking her up north to visit the Greanya family in their cabin this weekend. Then the following weekend we'll be traveling to Cleveland for Steven and Krista's wedding. All of the progress we've made with getting her on a nap routine will go right out the window. :) Since she has never been out of the apartment overnight, we are looking forward to seeing how she handles it.
Last week we took Mady out to some neighborhood garage sales. We got her some fun new toys and a couple practical items too. We picked up a high chair that hooks on to the table, which will be very helpful when we take her to the cafeteria. We also got a backpack carrier. It isn't as easy to use as the front carrier, but it is easier on my back. All of the baby stuff seems to be crowding our small apartment. We'll be rearranging our apartment soon to make better use of the space and to get it ready for when she starts crawling in the next couple of months.
Below is a short video of Mady drumming her feet on the side of the tub. This is one of her new hobbies.
I don't know how, but you manage to dress her in such a way (or maybe camera angle?) that makes her look like a little bald toddler. Hey- is she trying to eat the 5-month sign?
ReplyDeleteIt's probably the jeans. :) Yup, she is trying to eat it. She tries to eat everything she can get her hands on.
