Madelyn: 9 Months Old...

Madelyn is 9 months old and growing up so quickly!  She is into EVERYTHING and goes EVERYWHERE!
Maddy is pulling up on anything she can.  We often finding her standing in her crib waiting for us to come get her.  She is crawling so fast and is constantly going after things that are "off limits".  She is learning to climb...she has made it up onto one of her sister's stools and up the first stair.  I'm sure before long she will attempt to climb the rest of the stairs.


Maddy is learning to wave this month and has been saying "Mama" for a while now.  I'm not sure "Mama" is necessarily directed only at me quite yet, as she'll say it when she's upset, hungry and sometimes even crawling towards Jeremy.  Here recently she has started saying "Dada".  She will dance or bounce around whenever music comes on.  She tends to yell or scream when "talking" to us or trying to get our attention.

She doesn't like to be left alone or for anyone to be out of sight.  If I'm in the kitchen making dinner, she will usually be right by my feet, nudging her head against my legs until I pick her up.

She loves to play in the playroom, pulling things off shelves and getting into whatever her sister's are playing with.  She loves to be around Kens and Avery and is usually so interested in what they are doing.  Whenever they are upstairs and she is down, she'll usually go to the bottom of the stairs and start yelling...indicating that she wants to go up with them.

We have regressed a little in the sleep department, but I think that is because she has a cold and is working on her first tooth.  Because of her recent (and numerous) ear infections, we ended up running to the doc Monday to have her ears checked.  Fortunately, they look good so far so we are hoping her discomforted is just due to teeth and the cold.

Maddy is still nursing about 4-5 times a day (usually every 4 hours or so).  She is starting to branch out with her foods and some of her favorites are cheese, raisin bread, bananas and apples.  She loves drinking water out of her sippy cup (and prune juice...we had some constipation issues several weeks ago).

***************************

Maddy definitely wasn't "feeling" it during her monthly photo shoot and was not her normal self.







See that sneaky smile...she knows she got something off limits (my phone)!
Happy 9 month birthday, sweet Maddycakes!
