9 Months Old

As you all saw our Madison turned 9 months old last Saturday. She defnitely did some growing up this past month. She is keeping me very busy and helping the deployment go by quicker. It seems that just when I need it she'll just start smiling really big at me or start fake laughing. I can't help but get a smile on my face as well.

Update time, this past month she:
*weighs 16 lbs. 1oz and is 26.3 in. long and the Dr. said perfectly healthy :)
*learned to crawl..yay!
*learned to pull herself to standing and also will try standing with her bottom up in the air and her hands still on the ground ( it's so cute)
*said "mama" indiscrimintely as well as other "words"
*had to say goodbye to her daddy :(
*loves to hear his voice over the phone, I can tell because she gets this really big adorable smile when she hears him
*flew on a plane for the very first time to Texas
*had her first cold
*likes to grunt and kind of make a growling sound (it's hard to explain) :)
*spent her first church service in the nursery

Being silly.

Her and Rufus playing with the same box. :)

One of her favorite pasttimes....standing on anything that she can pull up on.
