It certainly isn't Brant! You guessed it. Madelyn is 10 months old today! She is growing up so fast and is in
constant motion. I am not exaggerating. Our baby girl is crawling all over the place, over anything in her way and through spaces I didn't think she could maneuver through.
Every morning we tear down our living room and create a large play pen area for her to freely roam. No kidding; we have suitcases out to barricade our entertainment system, as she has successfully discovered how to pull one of the knobs off of the amplifier and stick it into her mouth. :) Ah, the joys of rearing a mobile 10 month old. And it
is a joy! We are so in love with our little Maddie Mae and are equally blessed by her blooming personality that is overflowing with bubbly excitement, happiness, and loud vocal chords! Yes, it is true. My daughter appears to be taking after me; she loves to be heard, she enjoys being the center of attention, and she will do anything it takes to get you to notice her (which in turn equates to her voice becoming loud, louder and loudest)! What can I say? The girl's got a lot to say! :)
This past weekend, Maddie discovered the joys of responding to us asking her the question, "How big is Maddie?" Let me tell you, she is "SOOOOO big!" We have not been practicing this little game at all, and on Friday, she threw her hands up in the air while she was sitting in her high chair. So, I decided to respond to her actions by exclaiming how big she was. That's all it took. She was hooked! As are we. It is ridiculously adorable to watch her little arms fly up into the air and frame her cute face, as it looks back at you with a smile that can't be beat. :) She is showing me how big she is in this picture, but holding on for safety's sake!
Speaking of smiles, if you look at Maddie smile these days, you will notice that she has two more teeth trying desperately to poke through her gums. She is about to start sporting two bottom teeth, one on either side of the two existing teeth in her mouth. Who knows how many more are just about ready to make their entrances. But for now, it looks like we are about to have 4 total.
Happy 10 month birthday, Maddie Mae! We love you!!
