Week Nineteen

• Only got up once a night to eat, but was super inconsistent with what time that was.  Some nights she would eat at midnight and then sleep all the way until 7am...other night she would get up at 4:30am???
• Loved her cousin Kalia.  Kalia showed Maddie where her nose was and Maddie thought it was the greatest thing ever and smiled so big (of course we didn't have any cameras then)!
• Got pulled and poked by Kalia, but loved every minute of it.  
• Kalia is such a smart little girl...she knows where your mouth, ears, nose, and eyes are.  She enjoyed teaching Maddie where her eyes, mouth, ears, and nose are.  
• Did well sleeping in Kalia's pack n' play.  Maddie is going to have a sleeping lesson with cousin Kalia someday soon.  ;)
• Feel asleep well on the way to Tampa, but wanted nothing to do with it on the way home.  She is getting a bit more picky about falling asleep in the car seat for naps/bedtime and I think it has to do with the fact that she sleeps on her stomach.  She settles so well on her stomach and likes to stretch out and I think the car seat is too small for her to get comfy.  She slept fine once she got in her crib when we got home, but she was screaming the last 20 minutes of the trip because she was so overtired.  We are just lucky that Maddie's magic sleep window is more like a large open door.  She gets overtired and screams if she's not in bed, but once she's in bed she'll go down no matter how far past her window we are.  
• Started to hold her own bottle!  She can balance it once it has 2-3 ounces in it.  I guess now we just need to teach her how to change her own diaper and we'll be all set!
• Went on the swings at the park for the first time!  On Saturday we went to the park near Chris and Kara's house and played for a bit.  Kalia taught Maddie how fun the swings are.  Maddie wasn't so sure at the beginning and then she decided they were okay!
• Loved Kalia's tummy time toys.  One of the toys was actually a Christmas gift to Kalia from us, but Kalia was so nice to share them with Maddie when she was there.  Maddie loved having fun stuff to look at while she was playing.
