The Word from Maddie-world

What's up, my peeps?! It's been too long since I gave a real update! I am four and a half months old.

The family spent the past ten days in Durham, and Mom took me to the mall to set me up with some fabulous accesories...

...but aren't these for girls who don't have any hair?

Of course, I got to see Gram and Gandalf and the Fascinating Backyard Fountain again. The surprise was a visit from my aunties, Ali and Charlotte! OK, someone is telling me they're actually cousins once removed or something. But I know an aunt when I see one.


This was also the week we started solid food! Solid food is amazing! I blew right past the rice cereal and have already tried sweet potato, squash, banana and string beans. So far I like everything.


I like everything so much that sometimes I just want to take charge...


Things did not go so well when it was time to take the spoon out, though...

Oh by the way, I also am beginning to crawl, sort of. Between the crawling and my spirited rolling maneuvers, they can't even keep me on my play mat anymore. Look out, Paloma, here I come!
