eleven months.

Ahh...technology difficulties! i've had these pictures on my camera for a month! madalyn turns one tomorrow but here are the 11 month pictures!

new teeth! (two top teeth...the eye ones not the middle! fangs!)

standing up on your own!

into everything!

lots of babbling...mama, baba, dada, uhh,

signing: more (always more) thank you

ten months.

i know, i know. madalyn will be eleven months in just a few days. gulp. almost one :( where did the year go?

anyways, ten months. i tried really hard to get pictures but they just weren't working. but here are some fun ones from her tenth month of life!

 the girl is always dancing

 happy 10 months!

oh madalyn! you are so sweet and spunky! you love love your brother. you love to crawl into his bedroom with your head swaying to wake him up from afternoon naps. you love to eat...a lot. you still only have two teeth but manage to eat a lot of solids. lots of veggies, fruit, quinoa, beans but no meat yet. you love to play chase and cars with parker. you like to hug big bird and then throw him. you are gentle yet rough. you moved into parker's room (into his closet) and are sleeping very well there. you still take two naps, one short in the morning and one longer one in the afternoon. you love when daddy comes home in the afternoon. the ipad and phones are your biggest motivator...you seem to find them even when up high. we love you, missy moo!

nine months.

how did this happen? how did our little baby turn into such a little person?

this past month was full of changes!

madalyn began to crawl! days after turning 8 months, she was moving forward and loving it. there is no stopping her now! she is into everything.
she love to yell and scream (its like a game for her and parker), loves to chew on the farm animals and other toys. madalyn still only has two teeth! she is totally capable of sleeping through the night but still likes to make sure everyone else is not sleeping too long ;)

weight: 19lbs 9 ounces
height: 27 inches

loves: eating! chapping! waving! big brother parker, any toy she can bang or throw, loves to play with parker's toys (esp. if he is still napping!), story hour at the library, crawling very very quickly!

dislikes: being in the car a lot, avocado, mama or daddy walking away from her, being told hands off!

eight months

happy 8 months, missy moo!

 you are strong willed (hints the face on this one...she wanted to rollover!)

 almost always happy!

 perfected the "cheesy" grin

Madalyn this past month:

-army crawling backwards

-saying dada dada

-eating puffs

-first time on the swings!

-so close to crawling (up on knees and rocking!)

-eating lots of solids

-getting a bit better at sleeping longer

seven months.

well, madalyn turned seven months before christmas...but better late than never :)

madalyn's personality over the last month is really starting to show! so much fun to hear her giggle and yell with her brother :) she is very spunky and strong willed. she knows when she is hungry and let's everyone know!

 big brother got in on the picture action! he's getting sooo big!

 madalyn was upset that i took parker's picture first ;)

 much happier! (look at those legs!)

 very distracted

 this picture ended poorly, she fell off the chair and ended up with a huge bruise on her face! poor girl! (note to self- do monthly pictures when no one is home...too distracting with daddy and p around! leads to falling!)

post fall :(

this month has been full of changes for this little girl! madalyn has started moving! she army crawls backwards on her belly. she sits up great on her own. she has perfected the sit and reach ;) she can reach sooo far and gladly steals things out of parker's hands. madalyn is now eating three solid meals a day. she gets a bottle of goat milk before bathtime. madalyn and parker now take baths together! the room gets soaked...she loves to splash! her two bottom teeth can in this month. she loves to scream and screech...especially if parker is there to egg her on! madalyn is continuing to get up in the night, normally around 3:30...we know she can sleep thru but her screaming is unbearable. sleep training has happened and failed but we will most likely try again. madalyn is very strong willed and stubborn (no idea where she gets that from...) we love her very much!
