10 Months!

Madeline Nicole has turned 10 months old! Double digits (Yikes!!!) I know I say this in every post but time has gone so unbelievably fast. I can't believe that in two short months I will have a one year old. Lets not even go there..... Madeline is so much fun! She is a firecracker! She loves to play and does not want to sit still for 30 seconds. She doesn't even want to sit and eat because she just wants to be on the go! She is so happy all the time and loves attention from anyone who will give it to her. She loves to play with other kids and doesn't want to be left out of anything. I have so much love for this little girl words can't even begin to express it. I feel so lucky to be her mom and that I get to spend all day everyday with her. She makes our lives so fun and busy and I don't know how we went so long without her.

Here are something Miss Madeline does at 10 months:

• She loves to wave. She waves at anyone and everyone!
• She still loves to point, I am pretty sure she wont learn to talk because she will just point.
• She loves to play the game: Cut the Pickle. She cuts the pickle with her mouth and then giggles uncontrollably when we tickle her. It melts my heart every time.
• She loves to hide from us. She loves to crawl in the smallest spaces until she gets stuck and can't get out.
• Her favorite finger foods are Gerber Lil Crunchies. She could eat the whole can in one sitting.
• She has several different smiles. Her newest smile is where she smiles with her mouth open and squints her eyes. Alan and I will do this back to her and it can on for several minutes.
• She loves to scream, most of the time it is a happy scream or I am so excited scream.
• She doesn't like when we take something away from her, she instantly throws a temper tantrum but can move on quickly.
• She hates getting dress, she cries,crawls, or rolls away. It takes a very long time to get her ready for anything.
• She also hates getting her diaper changed.
• She loves to empty boxes or bins until there is nothing left inside them.
• Her favorite places to play are the kitchen and the bathroom. We keep the bathroom doors closed but occasionally she will sneak into the bathroom and likes to unroll all of the toilet paper off the roll.
• She loves to play with the door stoppers. They keep her entertained for a long period of time.

I could go on forever! She is so much fun! Watching her learn and grow everyday is amazing. Madeline truly is such a blessing to our family. We absolutely adore her and can't imagine life without her! We love you Madeline!
