Busy Weekend! Chicago Fire and Chicago Bulls Games

We had a very busy weekend!  Maddie turned 6 months on Saturday!  It was also the first day she slept on her belly - twice! Once for naptime and then during the night. For the past few nights, she has been turning and rolling in her sleep multiple times, which has been waking her up and resulting in cranky parents who have to soothe her back to sleep.  So we decided to try to keep her on her belly, and it worked! She slept around 4 hours before waking for her overnight feeding.

On Saturday afternoon, we went with Gary and Mayela to watch the Chicago Fire Soccer Team play.  It was $2 hot dog day!  It was a bit of a dreary day but luckily it did not rain.  Maddie did get fussy and I had to find a "quiet" part of the stadium for a quick cat nap.  Afterwards she was in good spirits.  The Fire lost the match, 2 to 1.

Sunday was Mother's Day (will be a separate post)!  We had lunch with Pau Pau and Uncle Jeff, and afterwards we went to the United Center to watch Game 4 of the Chicago Bulls vs Cleveland Cavaliers Playoff game!  Joseph warned me it would be loud, and wow was he right!  Thankfully we had the baby hearing protectors and Maddie did not seem to notice.  Maddie got super fussy towards the end of the third quarter and again I went to find a quiet place for a cat nap.  The Bulls tied it up at the end of the game with 1.5 seconds left! Unfortunately Lebron James hit a 2 pointer and the Bulls lost by 2 points!  We were 0 for 2 this weekend for watching games.

When we got home, we gave Maddie a quick bath, a large bottle and she quickly fell asleep afterwards. We are hoping for a peaceful night tonight!

Monthly Photo (6 Months)

Maddie is 6 months today! Where has the time gone?

Maddie has her 6 month well visit on Monday so we will have official stats then!  My guess based on weighing her at home is about 18.5 pounds and 28.5" long tall.

Can't fit enough in her mouth

Here are some cute pictures of Maddie sucking her thumb, feet, and bottle, sometimes two at the same time!

 

 

Maddie Tries Broccoli (with Video)

We gave Maddie broccoli today.  We pureed steamed broccoli and it had some more texture than the other foods she has tried. She didn't seem to like it as much as the other foods, we don't know if it was the texture or the taste or both.  Hopefully second time is the charm.  I really want her to like broccoli!

Maddie Tries Green Beans (with Video)

Maddie had green beans today. She liked them right away!  We never have to tell her to "open wide," she does it instinctively!  Success - our little girl likes her green veggies!!

Lots of New Pictures & Trying Avocado Again

Lots of new cute pictures.  Also we tried avocado again. Maddie loves it!

Kiss kiss selfie!

Trying avocado again. It's officially a winner!

Excited to play with Daddy's foot!

At Smoke Daddy for lunch

Money Ain't A Thang

We opened up a 529 college savings account for Maddie with the monetary gifts given to us after her birth and at her One Month party.  Thank you to our friends and family who have contributed!

We decided to put the money in front of her before Joseph went to open the account and see what Maddie would do, and hopefully funny picture for the blog of course.  She's got a great little grip on one of the bills!

(That is a stack of $1.00 bills underneath - it's not all hundreds!)
