maddie is getting pretty good at moving herself around. her head is almost always at the opposite end of the crib than where it was when i laid her down. and she turns herself around on her blanket every time i turn away to work! i am going to have to start strapping her in or putting her in her playyard all the time pretty soon.
so the kicking came in with maddie turning herself around and ending up with her feet on the side of her playyard - where the plastic guard is on the corner. she must have stared and intentionally kicked that corner for at least 15 minutes! it was really cute because she would get really still and stare at it and then kick some more trying to figure out the sound. only one of her feet was hitting it though, the other was just kicking the air. so she would test one for a while and then the other trying to figure out how to make the sound again.
the other fun thing today was getting her to do long giggling sessions. several different things worked today, rasberries on her belly and thighs, snuggling her stuffed elephant under her chin (that was really effective), and bouncing up and down in front of a wall mirror while holding her. it is so much fun to hear her laugh like that. i haven't been able to reproduce it for her daddy yet. hopefully, he will get to hear her giggling this weekend when he is home during her happier times of day.
i don't have a picture for today because matt had to take the camera to work. you will just have to tune in again tomorrow. love.
