Squeaks and Squeals

So, Madelyn is really starting to exercise her vocal chords. She's mastered the art of sounding in pain, even when she's not. We even heard a few "screams." She's also started laughing a bit more. No hearty laughs yet, but we're working on finding her sweet spots!
We're not sure if it's because it's the weekend and she wants to savor every waking moment with us, but she hasn't napped very well at all today. We (cats and dog included) were looking forward to our usual Sunday afternoon nap. Instead, she only took a few 20-30 minute naps and consequently became inconsolable around 6pm tonight when she was completely exhausted and cranky. Needless to say, tummy time wasn't very productive today, other than the fact that she enjoyed squaking and squealing at the camera along with her reflection in a mirror. We're still trying to master rolling over. She gets really close and then just gives up, mostly because of lack of upper body strength it seems.


We're gearing up for Thanksgiving. The turkey has been purchased and I'm going over all of my recipes to make sure I have everything I need. It's also going to be a fun holiday because we're going to start Madelyn on rice cereal and have her picture taken with Santa. I'm sure there will be lots of pictures to post after that weekend.
