Crawling Caught on Camera!

Okay - So, this will be my first attempt to publish video to the blog! We'll see how it goes. This will be a video of Maddy taking one of her first "good crawls" on Sunday, 6/21. I have a better one from tonight, but it does not feature big sister saying "no!" and grabbing the "bait" toy away from Maddy once she gets it. Yes, I'm guilty - I set out bait for my child to get her to crawl across the room.

Here comes the video...



It's going to be interesting, because Izzy definitely does not know what to do now that Maddy can get to just about anything on her own!

Check us out on YouTube

Use the link to the left to check out "TheFryFam" Channel on YouTube! We have an iFlip that takes video at the touch of a button and is proving to be SO handy... plus the software sends videos straight to YouTube. So, check it out... right now there is Maddy in her Jumperoo and I'm getting ready to put on Izzy doing her "Handy Manny" dance! Hilarity, I tell you! :-)

What a Day!

Wow! What a day! To say that Maddy was "crabby" would be a HUGE understatement. However, how can you blame her? Her world is changing so rapidly! Today she is 7 months and 3 weeks old. For the first time today she:
- crawled for about 6 feet without stopping on a couple occasions
- pulled herself up to standing without any help (well, that was last night, but we'll call it part of today)
- ate cheerios by herself, instead of the usual little "puffs"
- got herself into a sitting position from her belly about 5 times throughout the day

She's working hard! No wonder she's a crabby pants.

You'd never know she had a bad day by this picture - here she is enjoying the "doodlebug." This was one of Izzy's favorite toys, too.
