madison - 8 months

Madison is 8 months old! She has discovered her voice and knows exactly how to use it, especially when she wants to get our attention. Her happy squeals can quickly turn into very unhappy screams. Madison is also babbling sounds like, "ba-ba", "da-da", and "ma-ma", but we haven't heard any real words yet. We have added more foods to her menu such as yogurt, white potatoes, applesauce, kiwi, and cottage cheese. And, now that Mommy is working part time, Madison is drinking from a bottle at least once a day. She proudly holds the bottle all by herself! Something else that Madison is just beginning to enjoy is dancing, her own style of dancing. Whenever Madison hears music, she begins to lunge her torso forward then back, over and over again. She's pretty serious about it, until we make eye contact with her and her entire face lights up with a smile.
