Just a quick update...Maddox found my Tupperware cupboard today. YES, she is able to get the cabinets open herself now....and to my pleasure the one she decided to open first was the LEAST harmful one.... the TUPPERWARE! She had fun playing with it and I'm hopeful that will be the ONLY cupboard she'll decide to get into...HAH!! She officially started waving 'bye bye' today. We were at a friends house visiting their brand new 2 week old baby and she was waving to everyone in the room!! We had been sort of coaxing her over the last few weeks but she just wasn't gettin' it, but today it seemed to click. We'll see if it carries over to tomorrow. We've been very lucky the last several weeks at least one or both of Maddox's Grandmas have been able to watch her at least one day a week. But, this week she'll be at Kim's all three days. A REAL week. But, she seems to love Kim. She reaches out for her in the AM when I drop her off, as if to say...'OK Mom, you can go now'. She is no longer nursing. She actually put that to a halt herself last week. So we've been giving her about 3 bottles of formula a day ( in addition to her normal 3 meals of baby food) and so far so good....she is transitioning well. She is still being a little finicky with different textures in her mouth but she really enjoyed the couple of pieces of cinnamon roll and apple cider donut we gave her at the farmer's market this weekend. Funny how she doesn't mind that but doesn't like the little bits of pasta in her 'lasagna and meat sauce' baby food. Guess she just needs a little more time. She is a really happy baby and makes us laugh each day. What a blessing! PS...we just had a breakthrough on the textures. I just dumped the little bits of pasta on her tray and magically she picked them up and shoveled them into her mouth...no gagging episodes. Interesting.....the same bits of pasta on the spoon cause her to gag...but let her put 'em in her mouth by herself and magic....no issues.
