Every day Maddie gets better and better at eating off of a spoon. She has been on solids for almost a month now. We started with rice cereal and have worked our way up into carrots, squash, apples, sweet potatoes, pears and more. She loves the taste of food and she is really getting the hang this. However, now, I think she's over the whole "mommy feeding her" thing and now she wants to hold on to the spoon too while mommy is feeding her, which can be quite a challenge. She's a strong girl and you better not get in the way of her and food. Hmm, I think she gets it honest.
She's becoming much more vocal by squealing and making all kinds of new sounds. She also loves to laugh. She and Chester have become BFFs. She squeals at him while pulling on his ears and fur. He just sits back and takes it. Then, finally he will walk away and shake it off which tickles her so much. She laughs so hard. Lately, almost anything will make her laugh. She's so sweet and has the best personality.
Today, she has figured out how to pick up her pacifier and put it back in her mouth. This afternoon, after picking her from daycare, I saw her loose her pacifier out of her mouth and it dropped between her legs. She reached down and picked it up. I could see her in the rear-view mirror trying to get it in her mouth. She finally did, but then she couldn't figure out that she was supposed to let go of it. Then, tonight when she was getting her bath, she dropped her pacifier in the water. I sat back and decided to watch to see what she would do. She picked it up, got it in her mouth, and then let go of it - a proud moment. Next step... crawling. I'll keep you posted:)
