What a Way to End May!

Despite the fact that June Gloom is here (for those in the Midwest that's what they call CA weather in May/June.. it's cloudy and chilly many days during June.) We've been doing great! Maddie is doing really well with her sleeping (great I just jinxed myself!!). Her naps have been a little sporadic but each night she sleeps in her crib and only wakes up once to eat. She's actually slept the entire night two times so far! Lately bed time has been 7:00. It makes things a little hectic in the evening because she's pretty cranky from 5-7 but I can't complain if she sleeps until 3 or 4 am before getting up.

She's eating like a champ. We're still nursing (yay!) but we're also having fun exploring solids. I've been feeding her a little something in the mid-morning, like pieces of banana or fruit and then at around 3:30 she has rice cereal and a veggie (and/or fruit). She eats about a tablespoon of the cereal and same for whatever she's having with it. So far no allergic reactions to anything. We've tried, sweet potato, peas and pears (not a fan of either), peaches, green beans (loves these!). There's something else but I can't think of it. Oh, Squash.. she likes that one too.

We've been going for lots of walks.. here she is laughing at something I was doing. I'm so glad I had my camera with me.

I joined a local MOMs International Club group.  All the ladies seem really nice and it's great to have something to do during the day. We meet to go walking and at different parks in the area for play dates. Obviously the kids aren't playing together yet but they will be soon enough so we're scoping out the best parks in Camarillo.

I put Maddie into a baby swing to see what she'd do.. basically she just hung there while I took a photo. I could have fit two of her in there!

Maddie and I are famous! 

I really love my Baby K'tan wrap and use it to carry her on walks or into stores because it's so easy and she loves it. I wrote a testimonial to the company and they put us on their testimonial page. Click Here to see it. (We're on page one about 11 listings down, look for the pink wrap.)

I get stopped by moms all the time asking me what it is and how to use it. The company sent me cards and brochures to hand out. I just keep a few in my diaper bag. (As if it wasn't heavy enough!) They added a trackable code "ANGDIM" for anyone that wants 10% off their online order. 

And last but most important, Maddie crawled! Ok, I think it's crawling, at least a great start. She isn't motoring around the room just yet but this is the first time she got her arms working with her feet. The original video is much longer but I condensed it to just her actually doing it.
