New Year

Once again I have been terrible with updating - I've been caught up in the festive season. Christmas Day was great, a long day for Maddy, but still great. She loved all the unwrapping of gifts and really 'tore into' the paper. I think Madison formed a special relationship with her Aunty Bibi - pitty it was just so short a time.

We had Connor and Rebecca from the 24/12/06 - 01/01/07 : this was a great time of bonding for Madison and her sibblings. She responded to them so well and would play with them for ages while I was able to get a few things done. I do think from now on Maddy will take less time to remember who they are each time they come to visit.

At the moment Madison is starting to recognise her name and turns towards the person calling her, well most times anyway. Another thing taking place is that she is starting to notice her feet and is trying so hard to put them in her mouth, but that gorgeous tummy of hers tend to get in the way. Lately she has been very talky and lets me have it when she isn't getting the attention she wants .... yes she raises her voice and tells me off. Sometimes I sit her down on the floor with cussions around her or between my legs and she sits by herself, not very well but sitting none the less. She looks like a little ape, leaning on her knuckles.

One thing that remains constant is that she is a very content and happy baby!
