Toothless Wonder

Right before bed. She actually is pretty hyped up before bed and then the second I start feeding her, she's out! And yes, she still has no teeth at 9 months. Apparently I did not get teeth for quite a while either.
Happy prisoner.
Mom and Dad came to visit. We hit up Homewood Park for some swinging
First family photo in a while. Lance was with up a pretty limited amount of time. Thankfully the exam is next Thursday and then it will be over (for now).
I got up but had a hard time getting down. I got overconfident the second time and thought I could get down going forward-needless to say it was not a good idea and I have not crawled on top of this since.

New Videos

First Football Game
This was the first televised game of Alabama's that Madeline got to watch.

Sitting Up and Talking
This was from a couple of weeks ago when she first figured out how to sit up on her own. Now she's crawling everywhere! Why do they always find the things they aren't supposed to touch, like the fireplace and cords, the most interesting? She's trying very hard now to say "Dada," but mostly its still just "Mama" she says. Like at night when she wants to get up she will say "Mamamamama" over and over. Your name is crying form just doesn't sound as sweet.

Finally! A New Post!

Love this outfit we got sporting the Alabama logo, but so sad that its almost too cold to wear it!
Went to walk at the park where some geese got in a fight in the distance
Met Daddy for lunch at a park on Saturday so we could swing!
For those of you that keep up with my blog-this is ugly turkey duck!
Not as much fun on my own as it is with Daddy
See!
She is such a ham! Every time I bring the camera out this is how she poses. P.S.-Can you read her shirt? GO BUCKS! #1 (by default, but who cares!)

So guess how you make a baby puke up the entire contents of their stomach? Feed her elbow macaroni! I was trying out more finger foods and this one was not a hit. She kept trying to swallow the little pieces I had for her whole which caused her to gag and the rest was 30 minutes of clean up history that I would love to forget. That was the first time I can say I saw her projectile vomit. Yuck!

Madeline is pulling up on everything and getting into whatever she can reach! I'm going to have to put everything 3 feet or higher in my house! Madeline hasn't been sleeping well either. She keeps hitting all these milestones which cause her to wake up and "practice" and then she cant get back to sleep. Lance and I have been practicing some tough love and it seems to be getting better. Now that I know what its like to sleep again all night, I'm not as nice or understanding when awoken anymore! Speak of the devil...woke up after another shortened nap (sigh)...

Happy Birthday to Me!

My sweet sister, Tonya, sent me a cookie basket! Delicious!
Last week my "adopted Mom" Dana, and her two boys, Mill and Sam, came to visit. My freshman year of college (9 years ago-yikes!) I was Dana and Alfred's adopted college student. They still call me "Sister Teresa."
I crawl, but mostly backwards at the moment! She even will turn herself around so she can move in the opposite direction.
Madeline can stand hands free for quite awhile. She pulls up on things too. I will try to put a video up of this soon. No cruisin' on furniture yet! Thank goodness, because I still need to child proof everything!
Cracks me up when I come in and she is sleeping face down. Not too sure how she breaths!

Well, I'm 28 today (blah!). I feel old. Turning 30 never really crossed my mind as something that would one day happen. Two years now feels very soon! Lance will be 27 on Saturday the 6th. I can't write long because Madeline just woke up and is getting into everything! I cannot sit her down and leave the room any longer (boo hoo!) otherwise I will come back and she will be eating the furniture or getting into something (see below).
