Teething
Mady has started teething… poor thing is in a lot of pain and is taking it out on everyone around her.
She’s having a hard time falling asleep and naps are pretty much nonexistent right now.
We went to Family Fun Fest at my school this weekend. It was fun to see so many students. Mady had a lot to look at and was a very good little girl. My kids loved seeing her, too.

Five months old
Mady's five-months-old already. She's doing a lot of fun things and growing every day.
At five months:
* She drinks about 26 oz. of formula a day
* Eats two small meals of baby food, one of fruits & vegetables and the other of a mix of rice cereal and baby oatmeal cereal
* She loves sweet potatoes! That's new this month. She doesn't dig peas (who can blame her!).
* She shakes her head and lunges forward for food and makes a small grunting noise. Very funny to see how into eating she is.
* She showed us that she can crawl by crawling forward a bit one afternoon, but now she only crawls backward. Then she gets very angry because she can't move to what she wanted in the first place.
* If there's somwhere she needs to go, Mady will just roll and roll and roll until she gets there. I'm going to attach Swiffer sheets on her and have her clean our kitchen floor... just kidding!
* Mady chews on everything in site or in reach.
* She's finally really noticing and interacting with our cat. She gets so excited when Ella comes in the room, to the point that she will stop crying if Ella's around. She also loves River, our babysitter's dog.
* Mady can sit up on her own for about 10 seconds or so, but if she gets distracted or excited by something, over she goes.
* Her sleep pattern's been really messed up lately. Hopefully we can get her back to going to bed around 8 instead of 10.
* She tries really, really hard to make a shrieking noise, but can't quite do it yet. (Eric's thanking God that she hasn't mastered it yet.)
