Piano

Maddy loves the piano. She will now crawl over to the piano at a moments notice, pull up and start to play. Today, she grunted until we put her on the piano bench. She played there for a while and then started to crawl up on the keys. She actually pulled herself to standing on the keys (like Jerry Lee). She stood there and moved her feet around. Yes I got a video and a picture because it was way too cute.

Standing up

Maddy is standing up on her own now. Sometimes she will even bounce up and down without holding on. She actually tried to take a step this morning and fell right on her face. She just looked up at me like "you didn't catch me mom". I think I was so shocked she tried that my reaction time was a tad slow. :)

Mising colors

Reagan is starting to really discover colors. She is trying to mix all sorts of colors together. She would mix two together and run over to tell me her new discovery. I loved it. She would get so excited every time she'd come over to tell me something new.

Giving daddy a kiss

Tonight, Maddy gave Jim a kiss. It was adorable. He said, "give daddy a kiss Maddy" and she leaned in and put her lips on his. Sooo cute. I love it.

Who will win?

So, tonight, Reagan decided to test my will. She figured out very quickly that I was not kidding when I told her what I'd do. She threw a tantrum so bad today that she threw up on the couch in the basement. Tonight, she started again and she lost her pillow pets and her entire bookcase. Whoops.

I've now rearranged everything in the "library" or loft to make room for her books. :) We'll see how well she will handle that in the morning.

Maddy was up

Maddy pulled a good one on us last night. She woke us up at 3:30 am. She started stirring and just didn't seem to get back to sleep. So I got a bottle and went upstairs to find her standing up in bed. Nice. She was so happy to see me. I'm figuring out that her noises don't necessarily mean the position of her body. ha ha.

Anyway, I got her up, changed her and gave her a bottle. She went back to sleep after a bit and so did I. I woke up at 4:30 am and put her down. She instantly woke up and didn't want to be in bed. So I picked her up again and she fell asleep until about 5:30 am when I tried to put her in bed again.  She woke up again.

So I took her downstairs to see Daddy. She kindly woke him up and he took over. She never went back to sleep. At one point, I woke up to Maddy making noises in our room. I opened my eyes and it seemed as if she had crawled in our room and was just talking. I kept thinking that Jim would surely come in the room and get her - right?  ha ha again. He WAS in the room changing her diaper.

Needless to say, I grabbed my ear plugs and covered my head. I went back to sleep fast and was woken up by the lovely daughter. She was smacking my head under the blanket. Jim had put her next to me and was laughing at her attempts to wake me up. Sigh... 

I love stuffed animals

Maddy LOVES stuffed animals. Every time she sees one (especially her bunny), she crawls over to it and smashes her face into it. It cracks me up. She loves to snuggle.
