6 months

so on Monday, Maddie turned 6 months old. Half a year!

- sunday she started to really blow raspeberries. its cute.

- starting to really talk to her using real words. Like when i pick her up, ill say "up", when i hold out my hand i will say "hand". i always spoke to her, but now im actually trying to teach her. we are going to start sign language soon too.

- i can see the teeth coming through now. 2 little white dots on the inside of her gums.

- we are trying to teach her to pick up some foods with her mouth. the long crackers/biscuits shes fine with, but we are tuning her fine motor skills with puffs.

- when on her back she can touch her feet and hang on to them. makes changing her diaper harder now. especially when she can also turn to her side and turns to reach for things.

- she can appreciate peek-a-boo now which means she is learning object permanence.

- she is starting to throw things once she picks them up. annoying! but part of the learning process. hehe.
