10 Months and Counting

She cut her first tooth on September 29.
Before lunch.
After lunch.

She loves a nice warm bath.

I haven't posted photos of our little Maddie for quite some time! At 10 1/2 months old, she is our little, petite, eensy, light as a feather "pint of love" (as Allie says). She has a lot of tricks up her sleeve.

She has the most adorable squinty eyes and crinkly nose when she smiles. We all like going in her room in the morning when she wakes up because 9 times out of 10, she will squeal and bounce on her knees, so excited to see us. Then she will reach her arms out to you so you could pick her up. It is so cute!

She loves climbing up the stairs and benches. She is cautious enough to not have tried going down the stairs by herself yet -- she always waits for someone to be right by her to get her back down. She cannot be left alone in her high chair without a belt on for even a minute as she can get out of it. I found her out of her high chair and on the countertop recently (scary!). She also pulls anything you try to put on her head. She won't wear headbands, or clips -- just elastics to hold her pigtails, but even those she pulls off too.

She likes unrolling toilet paper rolls and prefers to play with non-toys. When she hears someone leaving the house or hears the word "bye" she starts waving and saying "ba". She will take a 3 hour nap in the morning and a 2 hour nap in the afternoon for me, which is so helpful especially on Tuesdays and Thursdays when I have preschool.

We all love her so much! She keeps us entertained and on our toes!
