Madeline is 10 months old!

Madeline, or "My Baby", as I like to call her, is now 10 months old!  She's getting so big, and is full of personality!  Her hair is blonde and curls around her ears.  She still has her 'pretty blue eyes' that I love so much!  She says "Mama", she waves and says "Bye-bye", and when she sees me, she says "Buh-Buh" (but I don't like when she calls me that!).  She plays patty-cake and can do the motion for the Itsy Bitsy Spider with me.  

She tries to feed herself with a fork and does really well.  She love to feed herself, so usually we just put her food on her tray.  She's drinking from a sippy cup, but doesn't like any juices or regular milk, so it's usually just water.  She does really well with a straw, too.  She eats just about anything we give her (or anything within her reach, including the "trash" for my trash trucks!).  

And she's on the move, too!  She's crawling and going FAST!  She is practicing standing up, usually when she's next to a big person or on their lap.  I know she's going to be walking soon, so I've already warned Mommy and Daddy that I plan on keeping my door locked to keep her out.  All the girls have to stay out -- except for my twins, Izzy and Sophie.  They can come in.

She giggles and laughs a lot, especially at me!  It doesn't matter what I do - she just loves my attention and gets so excited when I come to her!   She tries to get my toys.  I share with her really well, but I also know when it's something she isn't supposed to have, too.  And she just adores her bath time, too.  She splashes like crazy in there!

So... in honor of her 10 months, this post is mostly pictures of My Baby!
