9-10 Months Old

Sorry I've been a slacker!

So Madeline's just been keeping me SO busy that I haven't had much time to blog about her. Plus, we had a Facebook acct there for a while, so I didn't really see the need to.

Anyways....to get everyone up to date, she is getting so ready to walk, but she hasn't gotten brave enough to take steps on her own yet. My Filipino relatives say I need to massage her legs, but I keep forgetting. :o( Oops.

She can understand so many words!! About 25! Things like ball, doggie, kitty, night-night, names of her loved ones, "I'm gonna get you!" (in a playful, not creepy way...), clap your hands, and oh so many more. I'm amazed every day how fast she picks things up. Children's brains really are like sponges!

She is trying to say "uh-oh" but it comes out more like "uh-hmm". So cute! She jabbers all the time about something, but I have no idea what she's trying to say. She'll sometimes try to sing along or talk along with someone and instead of making noise, she'll just open her mouth and pretend to say something.

I hope you enjoy all the pictures I'm working on getting posted. We've had a few fun "firsts" recently.
