Standing Up & Loving It!

Sitting up on her own just hasn't been good enough lately - she always wants to stand! Looking at the world from this new viewpoint has been so exciting :-)

Most of the time Dad or mom has to help, but our little coffee table is just the right size to let her try it on her own! We just have to make sure Dad or Mom is right there to catch her when her legs get tired and she topples over!

Jumping

Madeline has really grown to love her jumper! It's one of her favorite parts of the day! She gets to let out all of the energy she has built up and really jumps like crazy :-) A perfect way to to get some exercise while it's still too cold to go and play outside.

Holding Her Own Bottle!

We've discovered a new talent... Madeline can hold her bottle all by herself! She still hasn't quite mastered how to get it back in her mouth once it has fallen out, but she's getting better at it all the time. Pretty soon Mom and Dad won't have to help at all!

Baby's Got Her Blue Jeans On!

Mom bought these blue jeans for Madeline months ago and they finally fit! Sure they are a size 3-6 months and Madeline is over 8 months old now, but since when have clothes ever fit her when the tags say they should ?!?! All that matters is that now we have a blue jean wearing baby and we think she's absolutely adorable. She's even wearing the black patten leather shoes - how trendy!
