28 Weeks Old

Madeline is now 28 weeks old and doing great. She is becoming more independent and likes to have alone time each day in her crib or walker to unwind and regain energy for the day. Madeline is extremely strong and now sits up by herself for playtime and can scoot around with her toys. She can move backwards in her walker until she runs into a wall or furniture and i have to pull her out into the open space. When in the walker, she can stand on both feet and play with her toys as if she is standing without support.

When laying down, she can pull her bottom off the bed like a back bend and she is able to pull her head and neck up a few inches.

Madeline talks a lot now and says momma and dadda but I'm sure she doesn't know what she is saying yet. She babbles for long periods of time like she is having conversations with her toys and me!

Maddy is wearing size 3 diapers and size 9 and 12 month clothing. Size 6 month pants are too short for her long legs and tops are too tight!

She is still teething and we are waiting patiently for her first tooth to pop up. She is going through a mommy phase right now where she wants me to hold her a lot more then usual. She also sleeps in our bed at night and will not sleep in her crib or pack and play. She will sleep sitting in her vibrating chair for a few hours, then right into our bed!!

Madeline is eating Peas this week as her 2nd solid food. She loves them more then carrots and is eating peas 2 times a day.
