Madelyn is more responsive than every before. When you talk to her she'll look at you and smile, or flash you a coy grin - which forget about it, I just melt. She'll get everything and anything she wants if she keeps that up! Madelyn started to wave last month, but the neat thing is now she actually understands. If she hears anyone say "hi" or "bye" she'll raise her hand up and wiggle her fingers!
Just the other day she learned how to show you how big she is... sooooo big! I got a video of it that I'd love to share, but I can't figure out how to attach it here, bummer. M will give you a high five if you prompt her and she thinks it's great when you applaud her with a "yay!" One other thing that's been really fun is she's learning to give kisses! At this point, its with her mouth closed, and she just leans her face into yours but I LOVE it! As long as you have her attention, she'll do just what you tell her. I don't want to speak too soon, but it even seems like our little munchkin is starting to snuggle a little more. She'll hang her arms around your neck and lay her head on your shoulders... hey, even if it's short-lived, I'll take it :)
At about 8 1/2 months Madelyn's first tooth broke through on the bottow row. It seems like the next ones to come in are her two front teeth up on top, they're waiting to make a grand entrance. Aside from everything in sight being jammed in her mouth, it's going well so far and I am excited for her to have a few more pop through! That right there, is me jinxing it all, shoot.
As for moving, we're getting a little closer but still no crawling. M doesn't mind being on her tummy, she just slaps the floor, spins in circles or shimmies backwards. She did get herself up on her knees the other day though, so we're getting there. Maybe next month ;-)
Madelyn has rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner and a bottle with each. Sometimes she'll have a anothe small bottle during the day and puffs for snack. At this point, the only thing she has tried that she doesn't like, is peas. She seems to love everything else, even prunes! Poor thing has had a lot of prunes since it's hard to keep her little system regular. I can't wait to give her real food, like strawberries and blueberries to see what she thinks of those. My guess is, she'll love them too.
Again, I haven't been great with pictures lately. I think I just get caught up enjoying the moments to remember to grab the camera. Here are a few phone pictures that I've snapped of our happy girl recently:
So excited to see Addy!
Polo twins :)
My date to the Wednesday night concert at Waveny
