Well Maddie is still sleeping through the night so my fears were unfounded. We’ve all heard about parents driving their offspring around in cars to get them to sleep (which does work) but Maddies latest trick is falling asleep to music in some cases instantly going from crying to sleeping, something which is becoming a bit of a party trick! In recognition of this she now has her own playlist on iTunes with Body Talk by Imagination a big favourite.
She is now holding her head up and making attempts to sit up (with encouragement) and yesterday she even stuck her tongue out at me in reply to me doing the same – the start of some proper adult communication.
On a different note she seems to be losing her hair which I’m guessing is nothing to worry about – it looks like she might end up with blond hair after all – will keep a close eye on it.
