It has been a while since I've been able to update the blog. Marty and I are constantly running after Maddie Grace. She isn't exactly crawling. She gets on all fours and then lunges forward. She can get anywhere she wants to, and she gets into everything! As you can see from the pictures, we had to put her swing away this week because we were afraid the straps wouldn't be able to hold her in. She isn't afraid of anything. She loves to play outside. Last week, she started to sit herself up on her own. Friday night, she was playing her piano, and got herself up on her knees. She fell on her bootie, then completely stood up! Marty and I were in shock. She is trying to pull up on everything, which is exciting, but we have not baby proofed the house. I guess that's next on our to-do list.
Maddie Grace was dedicated at church last week. Once a quarter, our church has a service just for the babies. There were 33 babies dedicated this quarter! You can see why the service is just for babies. It got pretty loud, but it was a lot of fun. Mamaw and Papaw Arwood came, as well as Cindee, John, Logan, and Lauren. Jay, Lisa, Spencer, Sam, Amanda, Trent, and Christa also came to see the service. It was very special.
Maddie Grace is so busy these days. She can climb over anything and she is beginning to pull herself up. She can get on all fours, but she hasn't quite figured out crawling (which is fine by us!). The only way I could get the laundry done was to let her play in the basket. She is up to 4 teeth.
