Madden turned 6 months
old on August 4 and he is developing so fast. It seems that he is doing something new every day. Here are some of his latest developments
- -He can spin around while he is sitting so he can maneuver
himself to play with the toys behind him when he gets bored with the toys
placed in front of him
- - Yesterday I put him in the laundry basket to play in while I
got ready. To my surprise, he pulled
himself up to a standing position. Then
today he was sitting in his crib and he pulled himself up again.
- He rocks back and forth from seated position up to his hands and knees. I'm pretty sure he will be crawling in the next month.
- He had his first weekend away from Andrew and I while we went to Montana with friends. I was nervous that he would miss us, but he did so good.
- - He is eating 1/3 C of fruit and 1/3 C of veggies with
breakfast and supper. He loves fruit,
but still is not too fond of his green veggies.
- - Tonight we gave him a little piece of banana and he
gagged. We will keep trying. I think the texture threw him off.
- - He loves to smile and laugh
- - He has two bottom teeth that are so cute and they make me smile every time he smiles
- -He loves to have his tongue out. I swear it’s out 80% of the time.
- - He gives kisses and they are the best kisses ever; wet,
juicy and open mouth haha
- -He also gives hugs (today for the first time, I was holding
him and Andrew reached his arms out to take him and Madden turned into me and
hugged me. I of course love it)
-He loves Grandma and Grandpa Steeves dogs, Millie and
Mia. Though Mia isn’t too fond of him.
There are lots more, but those are the ones that I can think of right now. Being a mom is the best thing I've ever done in my life.
My camera is out of batteries so I haven't been able to take his 6 month pictures, but here are some recent pictures.
