SCOOTING, SITTING, AND CLAPPING
Mommy wow, I can sit by myself now!
Playing ball with Daddy. I love how she anticipates, such great motor planning skills she has.
I also love how my photos will no longer contain my stretched out foot in the background just in case she falls!

Daisy and Maddox have a very special relationship, they seem to understand each other. Daisy is Maddox’s biggest cheerleader and Maddox is always so motivated when Daisy is around. This video shows the first time Maddox ever decided to move forward and it was, of course, to receive a Daisy kiss.

Clap clap, yeah, and pat-a-cake are the magic words in our house these days. She loves playing games. The fact that Maddox can clap is something most parents take for granted, it is simply another milestone.
For us, clapping when asked means so many things. We now know that Maddox can hear, is actually listening to words, and can process language as well as understand what gestures go with language. In addition, shows her motor planning skills to demonstrate the gesture.
Yes, a simple clap has all these things. No wonder her mommy cried when Maddox brought both hands together while playing pat-a-cake. Another hard earned milestone bites the dust!

Scott and I are soon going to be planning the new milestones that we want accomplished by Christmas. It’s bittersweet I guess. Last year at this time we were talking about how our new baby would be walking, saying mama and dada, throwing toys for the dogs, and pulling the ornaments off the tree. We talked about buying fancy electronic gifts for each other.....
We would never have dreamt that our greatest Christmas gift of all would be a crawling baby.
Christmas is a few months away (even though Walmart doesn’t think so), I must remind myself to stay in the moment. It’s tough because I am such a planner. But, for now, we celebrate the fact that Maddox continues to thrive, understands language, and is sitting.
We also celebrate the fact that Sito is coming to visit this week!
Oh the plans that we have..... she will be so surprised.
