Madeleine is Ten Months Old!

What a special day for Miss Magoodle--it's 10/10/10, and she's turning 10 months old! She's had quite a month for herself, working hard on communication and mobility.

Little Miss Chunky Thighs is wearing size 9-month shirts and 12-month pants. She's still in a size 3 diaper.

Her hair is really starting to grow, so bows are becoming a wardrobe necessity. Too bad she doesn't think so--she just pulls them out and sticks them in her mouth most of the time.

We're also starting to get her used to shoes, which she isn't very fond of, either.

Moo waves all the time--especially to Big Sister--while she's eating. She takes a bite of food, then lifts up her right arm and waves while she chews. She's also clapping! This just started about a week ago, and she loves the attention it brings her. She has remarkable timing as well, and seems to know exactly when to start the applause.

Mooskie has graduated to professional crawler. She can really move--fast. Her balance is also becoming much better, so now she lets go of whatever it is she's pulled up on. She's still too wary to try taking a step, but she has no problem pushing toys and light pieces of furniture around and walking behind them.

We've also discovered another allergy....eggplant! She broke out in splotches again, but they weren't nearly as bad as the egg reaction.

We've been working on drinking out of a sippy, but aren't having much success. We've tried around 5 different types of cups, and wouldn't you know, the cheapest kind is the one that's giving her the most luck. I think it's because it leaks so she doesn't really have to try hard to get any water out of it.

Happy 10-month birthday, Miss Moodle!
