Maddie is so funny these days. Shes into touching faces now. She feels around our faces and starts laughing. Such a curious baby.

She is also starting to put things into her mouth. I think shes teething. This morning, I rubbed my face against hers and she totally stuck her tongue in my mouth! Gross but i couldnt help but crack up.

Today her naps are long! 1 2-hour nap in the morning and she is on her 2nd nap and going for an hour now. I managed to throw some food in the crock pot for dinner tonight! My first cooked meal in a looooong time.

Took her for a walk to the bank and she didnt cry. hooray! i think the trick is to take her when shes not tired. i think we always take her out aft her 4 pm bottle and shes too tired to handle the carseat/stroller.

Gearing up for the holidays. Already purchsaed some holidays outfits for her...I cant wait till christmas time. I think she will be so different by then...nearly 6 months. Its so weird thinking of a christmas list for her!

Totally need a hair cut. the post partum hair loss is WICKED! I should have saved all the hair i can pull out bc i totally could have made a wig. My shower has been sort of clogged for a few weeks now! Its so gross and heard this could last until maddie is about 6 or 7 months!

I am really trying to let go of my control issues. I feel like i am the only mom who doesnt veer from my babys schedule and doesnt go to many places "until shes older". Maybe now that her schedule is getting a but more organized, I can let go a bit. But sometimes, all i can think about is how i dont want to handle putting her to sleep while im out during her nap time or how things conflict with her eating or sleeping times. It has been such an adjustment for me combining regular life and baby life.
