I can do it myself!

Miss Madilyn has become very independent these last few weeks. Everything from walking alone, to playing alone, to feeding herself! It's really cute to see her little personality blossom more by the day, but also a bit sad watching your baby become less and less of a "baby".

She helps us put her clothes on now, and sometimes even manages to get an arm through all on her own. When we're down on the floor for playtime, often she'll look at me like I'm nuts if I try to play with her. It's like she's thinking "Um, Mom, thats so not how you play with that...". Too cute.

Help at feeding time has also become a thing of the past. While I do enjoy having my hand to myself at mealtimes (for the most part) again, it sure is a mess! She's just so darn cute though, even the mess somehow seems tolerable. Now we look forward to the day when she'll ba able to feed herself without needed a bath after every meal. Yeah, right.

Here are some fun pictures of Madi. She loves to take a bite and shout "ta-da!!!!" It's adorable. Like, hey, look what I just did! So as you can see here are some her mealtime "ta-da!!" moments!
Too cute. Here she is telling us "ta-da" because she stacked up the dishes all on her own and was so darn proud!

Mmm, desert!
