Here is what's new with Maddie Moo...

This has been an exciting week! We now weigh 14 pounds and the doctor is going to pierce our ears on our next visit in two weeks. There is some stuff going on with Maddie's blood tests, but since I’m not sure exactly what yet… I won’t comment on anything right now. Hopefully it’s nothing.

The most exciting news is Miss Maddie ate a few tiny spoonfuls of cereal this week! She continues to act like I’m poisoning her with strychnine by making a sour puss face whenever food touches her tongue, but she actually swallowed the food…and it did not come back up all over me!

Looks like her other bottom tooth is getting ready to make its grand entrance any minute now. Amazingly Maddie is in wonderful spirits. She learned to wave bye-bye this week and is sitting unsupported for about 20 seconds. The crazy thing is, if you let her grab your fingers, she can pull herself up into a sitting position and then straight up to a standing position with little to no help! I think she may just bypass crawling and go straight to walking. I would say she is a totally gifted child, but right now she is blowing mouth farts on my arm as I’m typing so…I guess “gifted” is not a correct assessment.

We visited all our friends at City Hall this week and said good-bye to our dear friend Tana. Maddie also helped Mommy vote. She got a “Future Voter” sticker for her baby album. How cool!

I ordered her adoption announcements…they are so adorable – so look for them in the mail over the next few weeks.

Here are a few cutie pootie shots for you. Love to all!
