Do Division Street Fest

This Sunday we went down the street to the Do Division Street Festival held every year in our neighborhood. It was a cold day in the mid 50s, but luckily the rain held out.  They had a face painter, balloon animals, a bouncy house and pony rides!  Maddie couldn't enjoy too much this year since she is too little, but will be able to enjoy it more next year.  She mainly stayed in the stroller but we took her out to play with some extra large legos in a playspace sponsored by a local day care.

This Week in Pictures

Daddy's Girl

Maddie is starting to look more and more like Joseph every day!

And one more thing...

Just Playin'

Memorial Day 2015

We had a bunch of friends over for Memorial Day. We had 6 kids over including Maddie!  Maddie got overwhelmed a bit with all the people and would cry all of a sudden when she realized Joseph or I weren't around.  In all, she did great with all the guests and everyone loved seeing her. She was so exhausted she had a 2.5 hour nap the next day!

This was one of those moments she just started to cry all of a sudden. Adorable sad face.

Standing in her Crib

Here is Maddie standing her crib.  I stood her up (she did not pull herself up - not yet at least!) and she is supporting herself.  I put the Boppy behind her in case  she fell over.

Good Night Moon

Here are some sweet pictures of Madeline sleeping. She has started to turn in her sleep and stay asleep!  Throughout the night she will turn and sleep on her side, then flop back onto her back, sleep on her side, sleep on her back, etc.  She pivots as well and as the evening goes on, she will be out of view of the baby monitor.  One night she turned 360 degrees!

Maddie has also started to fall asleep and stay asleep on her tummy!  We normally put her to bed on her back but will flip her if she gets restless.  She hasn't yet flipped from tummy to back in her sleep.  However, she has finally rolled over from tummy to back!  She has done so twice, both times have been shortly after she's woken up, waiting for Joseph or me to come get her out of bed.  I haven't seen her do it yet... but twice I have seen her on her tummy on the baby monitor, then a few moments later she was on her back!

In case anyone is wondering, the monkey suit is called a Zipadee Zip.  It is basically a wearable blanket in the shape of a starfish. We transitioned her out of the Merlin suit into this and really noticed a difference in her sleep (after a few nights of her getting used to all of the movement)! She started to take longer naps and slept a lot more restfully. Not to mention she looks pretty adorable in it!

Sleeping on her side!

Peas and Thank You!

We tried peas today for the first time.  Maddie liked them right away. So far so good, we haven't found a veggie she doesn't like!

Baby Buddha

Tiny Dancer?

Maddie was doing these leg bends and lifts while having her bottle.
Do we have a dancer on our hands?

Smiley Girl

Here are a few super cute pictures of Maddie that I meant to put in earlier posts but seem to have forgotten. How could I - she's just so adorable and smiley in these pictures!
