She Did It!

It's official! Our little girl is not so little anymore! Yesterday she crawled for the first time!! She's been working up to it for the past couple weeks and yesterday she took three "steps" to crawl across the playmat and grab Cali (her octopus stuffed animal toy). It was so amazing to see! Now the baby proofing really needs to begin! Once she realizes she can do that repeatedly, there will be no stopping her!

Love you all,
Nile, David & Movin' Maddie

Well Hello There

Maddie truly surprised me on Tuesday morning! She started her morning conversation around 5:30am and I went into her room to give her a paci so she would fall back asleep. When I go into her room that early, I tend to peek around the corner so I can get an idea of how she's positioned...if I can give her the paci without her seeing me, then she'll fall back asleep quicker and won't think I'm coming in to pick her up or play. Well, I peek my head around the corner and there is Maddie - SITTING UP - looking right at me! Oh my goodness! She has been sitting up on the floor for a while when we put her there, but she has never gotten herself into that position from lying down! She was just sitting there like it was no big deal, just waiting for me to come around the corner! It was too funny!

She has also perfected the art of getting herself up on all fours. She does it in no time flat! She'll get herself up, rock back and forth a bit and then either falls down, or sort of lets her bottom fall into a sitting position. I have a feeling she is going to be zooming around the house in no time flat!

We love you all!
Nile, David & Maddie
