Maddox in Aurora

Whew, it has been a busy couple of weeks. Seems like forever since I have updated and it has only been 2 weeks, give or take. Maddox is doing really well. Her newest trick is sitting up all on her own. She is really pretty darn steady now even when she reaches out for objects. Those little hands of hers are pretty quick to grab anything at arms reach. I don't think it'll be too long before she crawls. She is flexible and strong enough to lean herself forward onto her hands from a seated position and work her legs out from under her to end up on her belly. Quite challenging. But, if there is something in front of her that she wants she'll do it. She is really eating well......you can see from the pictures she is starting to fill out. She's still just eating breast milk and cereal primarily, but we have added carrots, bananas and applesauce since I last wrote. All are a go. She really doesn't have any issues with any food so far.....and she LOVES to eat. She's up to 14lbs 14oz.....almost a pound more than she was the last time she was weighed. Pretty much everything goes into her mouth including her hands, mom's hair, mom's glasses etc.....anything within arms reach. She is still a great sleeper and has been taking some MONGO naps during the day. We took a long weekend trip to Aurora to see Grandma and Grandpa Berg and Great Grandma Berg. Maddox was good the entire time. Even Grandpa Dick was asking when is she ever unhappy.....?? I can think of a few times Grandpa Dick!! In a couple of days we're taking a road trip down to Nashville, TN so I can run a 1/2 marathon. Hopefully Maddox will continue being happy and will tolerate the trip well. Eric will be in Texas speaking at a conference.....'Good luck Dad'!! Take care for now and I'll write again after the big trip.
