Today Maddie was introduced to pears. I don't think she liked them quite as much as peas , but she ate a lot!

Growing Up Quick
Maddie weighed in today at 12 pounds, 4 ounces. She gained a pound in 2 weeks! Must be the solid food . The pediatrician was thrilled. She also had a clean stool sample so we're going to reintroduce soy and see what happens.
Speaking of solid food, Maddie has now experienced carrots and peas. She loves both and when she's being fed screams for more and screams for more quicker!
Maddie also experienced her first day at the beach as we went to Marco Island for Father's Day. She got to have her toes dipped in the gulf and the pool, but that's as far in as she got. It was a great time, though Daddy lost his voice completely due to a cold.
We think she'll be crawling soon. She can roll over both directions now with ease and can move around by wiggling. Her knees and arms are all making the right movements so as soon as she can lift her belly off the ground, off she'll go!

New Baby Activities
Lots of new things to report! Maddie is growing up quick! ?
Maddie recently discovered her feet and yesterday after her bath, she discovered she could get her toes in her mouth!
She's also quickly learning how to eat off a spoon and we've been feeding her more. The doctor recommended "feeding her until she throws up"
She is getting better at sitting up by herself, though she hasn't mastered it yet. She does tri-pod and quad-pod fairly well. In addition from rolling stomach to back, which she has been able to do for a couple months now, she can almost go from back to front. She gets all the way over, but can't pull her arm under her belly, so she ends up rolling back over.
That hasn't stopped her from becoming more mobile! If she wants to move toward something or someone, she will arch her back and do a crabwalk, or hop. She definitely requires 100% attention on the changing table now!
In addition, Maddie is smiling a lot, even across rooms at Mommy and Daddy and she has a very cute laugh.

Maddie's First Foods
Maddie saw a gastro specialist today and he recommended starting Maddie on solids right away (the pediatrician had said the same thing, pending the specialist visit). So today, Maddie had her first taste of rice! She was a bit confused at first, but quickly got the hang of the spoon.
