Peas, please!

Yummy, peas! 

Weekend playtime! 

We are goofs! We can't help it. To be fair, this little lady's squeal renders us defenseless. We try all day to bring that smile to her face. It lights up our world and we can't get enough!

Bouncing Baby

     The past few days Madelyn has really taken a liking to her "jumperoo". Her feet barely skim the bottom of the floor, but she's discovered how fun it can be to bounce! Bounce away, baby!

First Taste of rice cereal

     When the doctor first told me at Madelyn's four month appointment that I could begin introducing solid foods - I gasped. I just didn't think my little baby was ready for that next step. (Maybe I just didn't want her to be ready...) But, as the month progressed, I realized she's now scarfing down 7-8 ounces of milk at a time and protests when she watches us eat in front of her. I reluctantly decided we would begin introducing at least rice cereal, and see how she does. My hopes would be that she would be eating 1-2 "meals" per day by 6 months.

  
     Introducing food just seems like such a huge step, and I didn't want to rush into it. I thought for sure Madelyn would hate the experience, but she actually did a lot better than I was expecting. Go figure - the girl likes to eat. I wonder where she got that from - HA!

     After the first taste, Madelyn started going for it. She even tried grabbing that spoon and pulling it towards her mouth. I have a feeling she'll be eating it up in no time, once she gets the hang of swallowing, that is!

     She's growing up too fast, I tell you! :)
