she has also renewed her interest in holding the spoon during meals. she has gotten a lot better about getting the food into her mouth (despite how the pictures look). the mess comes from the little bit left on the spoon after each bite that she tries to pick off with her fingers. then she uses that messy hand to pull the bow out of her hair and creates a food based styling product for her hair.
today's new food was broccoli. she liked the taste fine, but once again the texture wasn't her favorite. i had to mix it in with her porridge to get her to eat it up (that is how i know that the taste was okay). after that i am going to introduce powdered kelp. weird - i know. it is actually supposed to be good for protecting against lead poisoning (something in the kelp keeps the body from absorbing lead). who knew? i'll let you know how it goes.
madelyn is definitely starting to feel better. today she was trying to figure out how to 'sit' on the bench of her activity table. she is able to control her falls well enough that they are starting to be funny to her. here she is after a 'fun fall'.
happy valentine's day! love.

I still can't belive how quickly Ms. Maddie is growing. I think her legs are as long as Lorelai is from feet to shoulders.
