Mattie is growing more and more each week. She's now over 17 lb and 27" long. She is so alert to everything around her and notices when George and I leave a room or when we talk to each other. She says "Da-da" all the time and it is also the first thing she says when she wakes up from her naps. She wakes up so happy and then starts babbling. She has started cuddling with me after her last feeding at night before I lay her down. We rock and sing and after a few minutes she is ready to be put in her crib. She likes to sleep with a teddy bear and cuddles with it as soon as we lay her down. It is so cute!
She is eating tons of new things. This week we tried: blueberries, mangoes, peaches, peas and a few others. She LOVES puffs. (A semi-soft cereal that dissolves quickly). She will even grab a handful and pull one out with her other hand and put it in her mouth. She loves eating these and is so proud of herself when she's feeding them to herself. We actually had to slow down on giving them to her because she was getting a little bored with the soft baby food. Now, we give her a few as 'dessert' when she eats well. Eleri was giving her some the other day while she was in the high chair. When Mattie ran out of puffs, Eleri started pouring some out onto the tray and Mattie tried to stick her head under the canister to catch the falling puffs in her mouth. She is such a character.
We think little M will be crawling soon. She is getting up on all fours and rocking back and fourth. She can move backwards pretty well and rolls around to get to places she wants to be. Mattie is so loving right now and gives kisses and hugs. Her kisses are more like slobbery exchanges but we love it! :)
Here are some wonderful pics that Mike Mazzo took of us last weekend. Thanks, Mike!
