Maddy sure has been snuggly today. She's also been sucking her thumb a lot. I think she's feeling just fine but maybe a bit tired. She just seems relaxed. I took a lot of pictures today since I've been lacking lately in that department. This one and this one are two of my favorites from today.
I was able to make chicken salad while Maddy was in her high chair eating lunch. She will do anything for Goldfish crackers. I hate having her sit that long while I cook at the same time. I especially hate falling back on overly processed foods to get her to sit still for a while so I can cook. I don't like using crackers that much. They aren't natural and I try to stick with natural foods for her. (A lesson I've been lacking myself. Maybe that's another New Years resolution--less processed foods. I used to do great at that, but not lately.) But it wasn't for too long and soon enough we were out in the living room playing and having a good time.
Maddy has been coloring lately! That has been fun to watch. She likes it when we take turns coloring. Now and then she'll stick the crayon in her mouth and try to chew it, but she understands she's not supposed to, so that's good. It's fun to watch her color and see the marks on the page.
Maddy tried her first drinkable yogurt today. It's from the makes of Yobaby yogurt. I put a regular straw in the bottle and she really liked it. She drank about 1/3 before I put it back in the fridge. I don't want her getting too used to something so sweet that she passes up on her milk. I don't think that would happen, but I don't want to chance it either.
Ok, well, I have a few things I want to get done during this nap cycle! I hope you all are well.
