Maddy's Firsts

It is so fun experiencing the world through Maddy.  I love watching her discover new things, and her fascination with little things.  Over the past 7 months, here are some of her discoveries and firsts:

 First time playing with a styrofoam cup and not being able to get enough of it! 

First time sitting in her bumbo by herself and really excited about it.

 First time Daddy feeding baby girl with a bottle - and has been done lots of times since!

First of many smiles.

First time playing hide and seek - with herself!

First time falling asleep in the Bjorn.

First time flying with Daddy - nice posture!

First time swimming in the pool in Florida last March.

First time watching Elmo and completely captivated.

First time driving with mom!  Shhhh don't tell!!

First time her tootsies popping out of her pjs - growth spurt!

  This was one of her first times sitting - now she is  a pro!

 Well, this is definitely not a first, but hopefully it won't become such a regular occurrence...

 First time eating carrots - we'll see how long the love for vegetables lasts.

First time loving the bouncer - thanks Aunt Katie (we promise to give it back)!

First time enjoying a spatula - I told her it tastes much better with brownie mix on it.

First time falling asleep while sitting up - she doesn't sleep near as much anymore!

First time trying out the Jump-a-Roo; she didn't quite get how to use it

 - maybe she'll like it better next month.

First time somehow ending up on the ground when she fell asleep in the carseat - 

and then she did it another time.  This girl likes to move!

Not a first - but a complete fascination with tags.

First bathrobe - too cute!

First time holding and later eating grass.

First time taking a bath in a sink and splashing all over and having Harry make "Maddy soup"!  (He was the only one that wanted to taste it for some reason.)

First time eating a banana out of her little mesh food ring 

- which is a really great idea, but disgusting to clean!

First time crawling backwards and ending up under the couch - and really upset about it!

Oh there are SOO MANY more - it's hard to choose some, 

but I know there will be lots more to come!
