The Banas Family: My How Maddy's Grown

While I realize Madelynn is growing everyday, some days it just hits me. She will take a nap and I swear when she wakes up she has grown. She is a very different baby from Hayden in some aspects and in others they are so similar. Hayden and Madelynn were/are both such easy going babies, I truly feel blessed for that. But we have seen that Maddy is much more vocal than Hayden. Surprising I know, since Hayden is such a talkative child now. When he was a baby he didn't babble a lot or at least not as loudly as Madelynn does. Maddy loves to talk, especially in the morning. I wonder if she is louder to compete with her big brother Hayden:)
Maddy also is trying her hardest to try to learn to sit up, she is sitting in her swing right now and trying to sit up to grab her keys. Hayden was always happy to lay back and take things in. Madelynn would rather be in the middle of the action. She is happiest standing or sitting. When she's on her tummy she actually tries to get her knees under her, not sure if that is just more comfortable for her or if she's trying to make a break for it. Both Hayden and Madelynn love to giggle. Hayden can get Maddy to giggle pretty easily.
It is such a joy to watch both of them grow and learn.
