Big discoveries




Today Madelyn accidently found her foot! And was enthralled! I can only imagine - I mean really, when was the last time you discovered anything so huge in your life as an unknown appendage!? She has also just started blowing raspberries, to the tune of the letter "B" - we had an entire conversation of raspberries with each other this afternoon. Let the slobber fly!

Madelyn has also discovered her "cry," which I am not as thrilled about as her other recent discoveries. She likes to try it out when she wakes up, when she needs to sleep, and random times in between. And, after much progress in the nighttime sleep department, Maddie has reverted to her infant schedule, waking every 3 hours all day and night. Feels a little like moving backwards.

I found a great quote on the matter in "Operating Instructions" by Anne Lamott (a great, witty book about her son's first year). "Backwards is just as rich as forward if you can appreciate the circle instead of the direction." We'll have to keep that in mind:)
