Good morning mobile

This morning about 6:30 am, I heard a crash from Maddy's room. I figured it was something she had thrown over her bed. I got up, took a shower and then went upstairs to feed her. Nope - it was the mobile. She had pulled it down over top of her. It was lying across her body and legs. She was laughing. Thank goodness it didn't land higher - it would have cracked her in the head. Guess it's time to lower the mattress.

Broccoli and apples?

Really? That's a good combo? I tried it with Maddy. She was okay with it, but after about six bites, she held her lips together. Ha ha

Mango rocks

Apparently Mango Rocks! I picked up some new organic foods for Maddy to try and she enjoyed mango the best. I usually try to give her a fruit and a dinner at night. She gets frustrated about half way through the dinner jar, so we mix in the fruit. Once I started with the mango, there was no going back. Literally! She refused to eat the dinner and screamed for the mango. If she saw me pick up the container, she'd hush up. I was amazed.

I gave some to Reagan and she liked it too. Yea - new fruit for this house.

Object permanence

Today, we realized that Maddy had hit the "object permanence" milestone. My mom had left her glasses on the table at the restaurant. Maddy, of course, wanted them. She reached for them and my mom immediately picked them up and moved them out of her sight. We thought anyway. She immediately turned around and started looking for them. Guess she's hit that milestone. :)

Daddy's spa

Maddy's got a new bath tub... at least for now. Jim put in a new sink and faucet this weekend. It's huge! One side is considerable larger than the other and much deeper than our original sink. It is the perfect size for a little bath for Maddy. Not only that, the faucet is really high which makes it nice to rinse her hair. He actually leaned her back over the hump in the middle to rinse her hair. She kicked her feet up and just chilled out while he rinsed her hair. Now she's playing with her toys and trying to pull up.

Going out

Jim and I went to the Pinnacle function last night. We took a ride on the Cincinnati Dinner Train through scenic Cincy. The train rode about 10 mph and wobbled back and forth. I discovered pretty quickly that the slow movement messed with my eyes. Odd. I just didn't look out the window. We enjoyed the company and loved the fact that we were out for the evening without the kids.

My parents came up at 5pm to hang out with the kids. When we got home, the living room was littered with toys and mom was asleep in the guest bed upstairs. All was quiet. Dad was sitting down on the couch watching a movie just enjoying the quiet I bet.

They had a great time playing with the kids. I could tell by the living room.

up all night

Maddy woke up last night. Ugh. She never went to sleep in her own bed. It was kinda nice because I like sleeping near her. But, it makes it tough to sleep well. She woke up at 3am and couldn't get back to sleep. I held her for a while. Each time I tried to move or put her down, she's stir. So I just held her. By 6am, I was done. I put her down and waited. She didn't want to sleep, but I sure did. Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep last night at all. I hope she sleeps tonight. I think her little cold is keeping her from breathing well. Poor kiddo.
