SO Big!

I have been working hard these past few days fighting an awful fever. Yesterday it got up to 103! Yikes! The Dr. thinks I have a virus...no fun at all. Here is pic of me cooling off when I just woke up from a nap yesterday. I managed to stay in a good mood most of the time.

I am feeling much better today! We decided to have a photo shoot! Grandma has been asking me "how big is Madeline" for months now....I have finally learned how to answer!!

Look - I can stand without hands in the chair!

I am sooooooo big!

holidays...

hey ya'll

I am 9 months old now, here are my new stats:

Wt: 19lbs 1oz Ht: 27.5in

So, this past Sunday was my 9 month birthday! We decided to get our Christmas tree in celebration! It was lots of fun...but also super chilly!

My Nano & Poppa Dave were here for the weekend, it was so nice to have them here to play with!

I just woke up, time for a bath/shower with Momma!

Getting ready for the big Thanksgiving feast. Here I am with my Mom.

And my Poppa.

And, here I am eating my very first thanksgiving dinner!

I really enjoy looking outside at the backyard & there is a great view if I stand on my changing table!

I am working on my hand-to-mouth coordination! Here I am practicing with Cheerios! They are really crunchy & I like to bite little pieces off using my teeth.

Into the mouth they go!

Out at the playground....swinging.

This past Saturday I had my very first bike ride. Momma was really scared & Poppa was really excited about the whole idea. So, we went out into the neighborhoods where it was really safe & I rode in my car seat. And since there was a Duck football game going on we were pretty much riding through a ghost town!

WOW! Grammy you built some really cool stuff with my blocks!

I am getting so good at standing I barely need to hold on any more!

Press PLAY to watch me crawl. I am getting really fast now & I love exploring all the rooms!
