madison - 9 months

Madison is 9 months old and on the go! She hasn't quite figured out how to get around on her knees, but she has learned how to "army crawl" in order to get to her desired location. Madison has always been a snuggler and a hugger, but now she is giving kisses...big, open-mouthed, slobbery kisses that we love!! A couple of weeks ago, Madison started clapping her hands all on her own, and we think she has waved to us a time or two. At least we think she is waving. When we wave at her, she holds her hand straight up into the air as if she is waiting for someone to give her a high-five. She smiles really big and squeals when we acknowledge her accomplishment. This month Madison signed "all done" for the first time, and she almost has the sign for "more" figured out. We have enjoyed watching Madison's little personality develop and see who it is that God has created her to be.
