Life has really been busy, that I haven't had a lot of "me" time. Well, today is just that. I put everything on the back burner, (looking for jobs, grading, planning, school work), to be sort of lazy and hangout with the hubby and Madelynne. It has been a pretty, chilaxin' sort of day and can't really complain. Next week, it will be back on serious track for life in general (specifically narrowing down a FT job) but I think I'm permitted to take one day off. :)
Madelynne and I have had quite the busy schedule. She started solids. Her favorites seem to vary, but she definitely loves sweet potatoes. She is excited to eat and digs sitting in the high chair. She especially likes the fact she can play with the spoon after she's done, while mom eats or finishes getting things done in the kitchen.

She also has officially begun sitting up mostly by herself, without support. She likes her little sit up chair, but doesn't do too bad when she is on our bed.
Another major milestone she has recently met is drinking from a sippy cup---not officially, though. She has a great one that goes through 3 stages, and she is on the first one still, but doing pretty awesome with holding it by herself.
She is loving the older kids at her church group, Little Angel's. She loves her baby friends, who are a few months older, at her library group. She started swim lessons this week, which she is truly a little fish, just like her mom. And she has her first tooth coming in on the bottom, which has resulted in a few, very annoying, irritable days. When she is fussy, she is over the top. It can be frustrating when you cannot figure out what she wants. With that, we have been teaching her some basic signs to hopefully alleviate the stress of not being able to communicate. So far, she is really receptive in watching us, so we will see how she progresses in the months to come.
Otherwise, she has her 6 month well check next week. She is growing and developing just like she needs to be. Here are some other fun pics of life with Madelynne.
