Maddie's Friend
When I was pregnant, I met a woman named Claire in a childbirth class. Her daughter, Ramona, was born exactly two weeks after Maddie. Ramona and Maddie are very different and have only recently become interested in one another. This picture is just too cute for words!
I can't believe it!
Yesterday, for the first time, I looked at Maddie and thought she was big. It was, and still is, amazing. Maddie was such a small baby and now she seems giant. I know she's still on the small side (she's only in the 10th percentile for weight, but the 50th percentile for length), but she's up to about 13 pounds now and finally has fat rolls. Her 6 month clothes fit her and she's so cute and rosy. Also, she acting like a much older baby. When she was first born, she cried all the time and seemed totally freaked out to be alive. Now, she's so happy, she smiles all the time, and she loves to play. She can roll over both ways, though she doesn't do it a lot, she can sit up, and she's really, really good with her hands - she even holds her own bottle. Oh, and when she's laying down, she tries to do sit-ups. It's very cute - she looks like she's trying to do pilates. Within the next few weeks, we'll start her on rice cereal. It's just amazing how quickly things change.

Starting back up again
OK, the extreme kids blog has been out of commission for some time, but now we're back! We've changed our format, so now we'll pretty much post exclusively about Maddie. I know, I know, it's been about 4 months or so, but having a baby takes a lot of work! But, we feel like we're starting to get the hang of it, so we can get back into blogging.
So, for our first post, here are some very recent pictures of Maddie. She's cute, full of energy, and lots of fun! We love her tons (obviously) and feel so lucky to have such an amazing baby!
