And so after the Christmas festivities had died down we went over to Granny’s to help out with her computer and to say hello. Having only previously being able to roll from her front to her back with a little encouragement from Granny and one of her soft toys Maddie managed to roll from her…

So now we are trying to get her to take an occasional bottle to give us a bit more flexibility. I know she has breast fed in various public places but still… anyway given the choice I know which I would prefer so unsurprisingly any attempt to give her a bottle substitute has resulted in…

It’s official Maddie is now in 3-6 month clothes! Makes sense when you think about it as she is almost 4 months old but it has happened so gradually it just creeps up on you. She doesn’t seem that much bigger than when she was born but the stats don’t lie, her weight has doubled!…
