9 Fabulous Months

Madison turned 9 months on last Friday. Madison is so adorable and growing so much. Madison has started crawling, loves standing, babbles all day long, independent (when she does not want something done she lets you know), loves electronics and cords, smiles hugely and giggles when I (not a fan when others try) make a moo sound, loves eating her little puffs and small pieces of bread, and gets so excited when her daddy comes home and much more. We love our happy baby.

Madison enjoys standing up and her balance gets better all the time.

Madison with her books. Madison enjoys books especially ones with pictures of other babies. We have a book right now from the library called, I Love Colors and Madison smiles and gets so excited when we read it to her. I love it!

A couple of weeks ago I took Madison to the Living Aquarium with our play group from the neighborhood. Madison seemed to really enjoy it and we had a great time.

Madison is crawling now. Madison is not very fast, but she is getting better every day. One side effect is that once again she spits up a bunch and now it gets all over the carpet.

Madison now weighs:

Madison is 26 1/4 inches long. Madison is still on the petite side.

Some 9 month pictures of sweet little Madison.

Such a big girl.

Those eyes of hers.

Cute smile.

Look at her.

So stinkin' cute!

Our precious little Madison.

The last nine months have been so wonderful with Madison. Madison is a bundle of joy and we are so grateful to be her parents. Madison is such a wonderful happy baby and we love every moment with her.

Baby Jensen

Here is the newest addition to my family. My brother Craig and his wife Lani had a baby boy on February 17th. His name is Jensen and he was 9lbs 7oz and was about 21 inches.

Here is my little bro Steven with adorable Jensen.

Here is me with my cute nephew. I am his favorite aunt already :) 

Jensen will probably pass up Madison in a few months. He is 10 pounds already.

Eight is Great!

Madison and her 8 month update. We can't believe she was 8 months on the 11th of February. Madison is definitely exploring and understanding the world around her more each day. Madison even has started having some separation/stranger anxiety. Madison loves to babble all day long. Madison is still not crawling, but she gets up on all fours and bounces, rocks, and scoots her knees up. Madison does roll over a ton and can get around to things she wants by doing so. Madison enjoys standing up while holding on to the couch and loves walking around with our help. Madison still loves when we sing to her and also enjoys when we read to her. One of Madison's favorite songs is Popcorn Popping. Madison is so fun and gives us lots of smiles and is a happy healthy baby.

Madison is always putting whatever she can in her mouth.

Madison had a visit from her birth mom the other day. We all had a nice time.

7 Splendid Months

Madison is almost 8 months, but I am finally posting some pictures of her at 7 months. Madison is getting so big. At 7 months Madison was about 14lbs 4oz. Madison is a very happy baby. These days Madison loves to walk while we hold onto her hands. Madison is getting really good at putting her feet one in front of the other. Madison still loves when we sing to her. Madison also enjoys being in her little walker which she can only move backwards in. Madison is not crawling yet, but when she is on her tummy she scoots backwards. For now we are content that Madison is not very mobile because before we know it she will be into everything.

Madison loves to play and bounce in her exersaucer.
