MG- Madeline Grace

Linz and I tried to go rock climbing on Sunday and leave Madeline with a friend in Burlington. Unfortunately, we forgot part of her bottle and he could not feed her. She was starting to show signs of hunger getting restless and calling for food. The downward spiral was inevitable. So as we headed back to pick her up, scrapping the afternoon of climbing, we were comforted to know that Spidey had come to her rescue and caught her from her fall to doom. "Oh MG, I've got you, I'll never let you go!" "Thank you Spiderman"

Well Maddie has been very busy this past weeks enjoying her Grammy Carter's visit. She has also been busy mastering rolling over and keeping her head lifted while on her belly. Changing her can be a challenge these days. We have started trying to live diaper free. This is less of a potty training idea and more of a learning and consciousness about elimination needs. We believe babies are already aware and we are trying to keep her used to expressing the need while we learn her cues. We are just starting our training and learning as we go but believe this really can work and move life towards diaperless days pretty quickly. We are catching on and she has pooped in the potty; only once but we are only just starting out. Maybe for all you Cali heads we'll be able to see how it's working. June 28-July 12, get ready, we want so catch up time.
