Maddie is showing more personality lately. She's had some mild tantrums. If she's not happy in her excersaucer she'll throw her self back, wail, and raise her arms. She also gives kisses now. I don't think they're kisses so much as just sucking on my cheek, but she'll put both her arms around my neck to pull me close and then put her mouth to my cheek. It's so precious. I can't stop laughing when she does it, which makes her laugh.

I bought Maddie some blocks this week. When I first showed them to her I placed her on her stomach and dumped them out of the of box. She started cracking up. It was so cute. She couldn't stop laughing. She then rolled to her back and each time she looked at the blocks she'd start laughing again. I got my camera hoping to capture it on tape but I think she got used to them and didn't think they were funny anymore.

Practicing sitting. She sat for a few seconds by herself.

Spikey baby.
