Finger foods rock

Finger foods rock. She's trying everything. But she loves puffs and cheezy poofs (baby kind).

Clicking her tongue

Maddy has started to do some interesting things with her mouth in the last few days. She's started sucking in her cheeks - like she's doing half of the fish face. She's also started clicking her tongue a lot. It's cute. She'll do it and then look at you like "hey listen". Totally cute.

Maddy's tongue

What is it with her tongue? She likes to move it around and "show it" to me. It's cute. I do what she does and she just starts to giggle. Too cute.

learning to walk

Maddy is learning to walk a bit. She loves to walk while holding on. I think she does this quite a bit at school. Today she walked across our living room and then just looked up at me like "ok mom".

Love this stuff. :)

Up on all fours

Maddy actually got up on all fours today and crawled. Not very far, but she did it. Uh oh. Has she figured out how to do that. If so, I'm really in trouble. Commando crawling is containable... sometimes. Real crawling is nuts!

loves her doggies

She loves to play with her playskool doggies. Every time she goes to her toy box, she pulls it out first and starts hitting all the places that make noise. She loves her keys and anything she can bite hard. I just love watching her play.

Violin practice

She's doing great! Holy cow. I really stopped giving her a choice about practicing. I determined it's more an obey thing than anything else at this point and am just gently making her mind. Oh well. Hopefully it won't backfire on me one day.

None-the-less, she is playing. Tonight was her second practice and she already has the notes figured out. I just hope she can smooth it out before her next lesson on Monday.

I'm so proud of her.
