What a great week we've had...and it's been filled with Madison doing many new "tricks"! She continues to scoot/crawl around, especially active in her crib. However, she has been waking up every morning with rug burns on her forehead! She really needs to lift up her head more when she "scoots"...poor thing. Also, Madison is now turning over both ways - from tummy to back and back to tummy - but only when she wants to. Madison has also learned to blow "zerberts" with her mouth - and she just loves doing this all day long, especially in the morning and when Mommy is feeding her... It's so funny, for now, but let's hope she doesn't make this a habbit when she gets older.
Since Madison was about 3 -4 months, we started teaching her sign language. We don't expect her to actually sign back to us right now, but at least familiarize her with the signs. We do very basic signs right now - eat, milk, cereal, more, mommy, daddy, all done. For the past weeks, if I do a sign, I think she recognizes them because she's started smiling at the sign she wants. Of course, this could be my imagination...
Every morning, Madison and I have "school" for about a half hour. Of course, we're learning while we play all day, but this is serious school time. :) We review colors, shapes, counting, animals and their sounds, and names of body parts. We have books and use examples for what we're learning and everything. After that, we just have fun playing. I've never been a teacher, but I'm just winging it. I figure that I can do this until our kids enter into higher level math at a real school - like Algebra - and then Mark will have to take over!
Finally, we just love our new Sunday School class, "What Kids Need Most From Parents". I'm going to start posting notes from the class. It's awesome!
