Nine months down...

...and only three more to go until Madison's first birthday! Really!?! I think time goes by faster with each child! She has been a busy little girl since I last posted about her! Here is what she's been up to:

*Growing! She is now a whopping 17 lbs 2 oz and is 26 3/4 inches long. That puts her in the 25 percentile for both her height and weight.

*July was a big month for Madison, she learned to sit up and cut two teeth!

*Her hair is getting longer! It has a mind of it's own though, and the only thing it wants to do is stick straight up. Madison always looks like she stuck her finger in an outlet! Her headband and bow collection is growing, I just need to remember to put them on her!

*Her diet has expanded and now includes baby food and cereal. She also fusses at us if she sees us eating and we don't offer her any! She is an amazing eater and hasn't refused anything yet. She happily eats all her veggies, and even eats the baby food meats. Of course she loves fruit too!

*She is picking up toys and cheerios with two fingers now instead of her whole hand.

*She is crawling!!! It is the cutest thing to watch! She is an even happier baby now that she can get things all by herself!

*She 'talks' all the time! Her favorite thing to say is dada, in fact it's the only thing she says other than her baby babble. Not a single attempt at mama yet.

*She is such a happy, content baby! I can sit her on the floor with some toys and as long as one of her brothers is in the room she will sit there happily for really long stretches. (And I take full advantage of this to get laundry and other chores done!)

*It is so fun to dress a little girl! Madison has a lot of people who love her and supply her with endless amounts of adorable outfits! Get ready for picture overload...

These sweet shoes are courtesy of her Aunt Marci!


Even though she is completely ignoring me I think this picture is so cute!


She is the happiest baby unless you are a professional photographer trying to take her picture, then all she wants to do is cry!

Despite the look on her face she loves to eat!

If you click on this picture to see it bigger you will also see her two teeth!


She is so excited that she can get things all by herself!

Oh my gosh, she's so pretty!!! I love that hair! lol. I can't believe she has two teeth already- Jake and Sophie don't have any yet. Caleb didn't get any till he was over a year though, so I'm not holding my breath.
It sucks we live so far away now; I wish she and Sophie could have play dates!!
