i keep forgetting to video maddie rolling....but i caught one the other day. i still crack up when i see it:


She is at a really fun age right now. As she grows more independent, I find I enjoy everything so much more. I've mentioned a few times how I'm not a fan of the baby stage....and I'm realizing more and more how true that is. I think im a better parent now than i was a few months ago. I know most people want them to stay babies and I always hear "when they start to become more mobile, you'll wish they werent". Maybe ill feel that way someday, but for now, I actually look forward to the day when Maddie will crawl and walk. When she wasnt sitting up yet, I told everyone I cant wait till shes sitting on her own. They would tell me "yeah when it happens you'll wish she wasnt"...but i havent found that to be true yet. I love that she can sit up on her own. It makes my life SO much easier. I think I enjoy her more when I can see shes actually a little person. I can, however, see myself regretting saying this when shes 16!
