She is on the move

Beware Madison is on the move ... oh my gosh she is starting to find things she shouldn't. The CD rack has been knocked over, Daddy's stick lights broken, cats and dogs conquered. By despite all that it is too gorgeous to watch this little person discover her surroundings, almost as if all she has seen before is new to her again. Maddy can now pull herself up, so she is standing against things - this is a little bit of a pain in the butt as she hasn't worked out to get back to crawling. For example she will stand up in her cot, after I've put her down to sleep, and yell out to me. This morning I had to go in 4 times and lie her back down and then when I walk out again she is really upset. However, she knows how to work her mobile (I've taken the part that turn off) and will sit there pushing the buttons over and over 'selecting the correct chanel' ( must get this from watching daddy).

Madison is such a curious little sausage and has even ventured down the passage looking for me, thinking I'm in the bathroom, when in actual fact I'm in the kitchen. At night I go to run the bath and call out to her, you can hear ..pat .... pat , this is her crawling to me. It is just wonderful to see her peek her head around the corner. Then she'll crawl up to the bath and pull herself up to look over the bath edge and watches the water running.

I think I'm going to have to trim her fringe soon as it is getting quite long, up to her nose, and heavy so it falls down into her eyes sometimes. She is a real little girl and is quite particular about textures ... if I put her down grass that is a little long she will sit there with her hands up and starts shaking them - she won't even crawl to me, also she sometimes won't hold finger foods if they feel funny. Oh, but she is starting to understand the waving concept - but her technique is a little strange as she flaps both hands and arms.

One thing I'm not looking forward to is the day she is no longer a Mommy's girl, probably when I have to start telling her no all the time. Then daddy will come home and say of course you can my Darling. I try to say no once and the distract her. Well, we both are absolutely in love with our daughter.
