Maddie Loves Eating and Playing

We started feeing Maddie solid food almost two weeks ago and so far she loves everything we've given her! I feel really lucky that she hasn't been picky. We've given her bananas, rice cereal, avocados, sweet potatoes, and asparagus. It's so great to have her eat breakfast and dinner with us instead of just watching. Maddie has also proven to be a pretty neat eater so far as well. Most everything makes it into her mouth - she even opens her mouth and leans forward when the spoon comes - and stays there. It also seems like she's been eating quite a bit for a new eater - she can eat up to half a banana in one sitting. We're planning on trying carrots and apples this weekend, so we'll keep you posted!



Maddie has also started to roll around like crazy and loves to play. It's so much fun to lay her down on the floor and let her play with her toys. Eric spends lots of time playing and laughing with her on the floor on the weekends. During the week, when Daddy is at work, Maddie spends a lot of time playing with her friend, Ramona. After six months of ignoring each other, Maddie and Ramona have finally started to notice one another and have started to interact, which is so neat. Maddie has become a huge mover and we anticipate that she'll be crawling in the next month or so, but again, we'll keep you posted!
