You saw in my last post how we spent a majority of this month unfortunately. But in the last week we have seen our little go-getter return!
10 Month Milestones
Catch up! -- Maddie has lost some weight with her illness, so as you will see below, she has dropped in percentile for weight, but she has really picked up her eating, so stay tuned! She also feels a LOT better so she is EVERYWHERE. So it may be a little bit before she can eat enough to stay ahead of all the calories she burns moving. She loves those Gerber on the Go treats that Collin Bear introduced us to. Look at her go!
She also LOVES mangos (ha, I knew she was my child!)...and cheese puffs (these are NOT my favorite, every time she eats them she smells just like a little cheese puff!).
For now, she is still in the same size clothes and diapers she has been in the last few posts (6 and 6-9 month clothes and size 3 diapers).
Play time! -- Maddie loves to play. Some of her favorites are seen below and include her "rabbit" in the box, her box of shapes, straws, her talking walker, and her baby doll.
Her fine motor skills have always been pretty good if I don't say so myself. I think she took after me here, haha! But seriously, she has gotten really good at grasping even the smallest things. I mean to tell you, if there is a speck of glitter on the floor that girl will find it! She also LOVES books. She has a few favorites for the moment. Her top two are the "Baby Can Read" flip book and Peekaboo Sophie. This weekend, she saw her Peekaboo Sophie book on the shelf and went and got it for me! I'll bet we read those two books ten times a day! Her favorite place to play is in our laps, ha. She likes an audience that is for sure. The second she realizes she is not being watched she makes a bee line for one of our laps to ensure she has our UNDIVIDED attention.
I rest my case...
Story time with Daddy.
Oldies but goodies. Look at what girlfriend found! She never cared much for a pacifier and hasn't used one since she was about 3 months old. BUT, it was the new toy on this day! Ahhh, makes her look more like a baby, maybe I'll let her play with it more often ;)
She also loves to be "tossed" in the air. I know she HAS to get this from her Daddy since I have had to stop riding rides at Six Flags once I grew over 36 inches tall because there were no more rides I was brave enough to ride! I have lots of videos of this, if only I get my videos to upload here! One day I'll figure it out and do an entire blog about videos from the year.
Social Butterfly -- Madelyn is infatuated with children, of all ages. No matter where we are, if she sees children, she is mesmerized. This is about the ONLY time that this girl will sit still.
Temper Tantrums?! -- What? How could my little angel already be throwing temper tantrums?! But I am sure that is what these are...
Yep, anytime we take away something she wants (a mango, a toy, any light cord) we get these little fits. Oh, and so it begins... But, I will admit, this face is still pretty cute! :)
Bubble time Baby -- Madelyn loves bath time, but only if the water is just right...nice and warm. She is such a little delight to bathe, she just lies in the tub and enjoys the water. And I love the smell of a clean little baby!
10 Month Photo Shoot
The "birthday" girl on Friday before heading out to day care...
EVERYTHING is interesting to this child!
Ok, I must admit, this smile melts my heart, EVERY SINGLE TIME.
One happy camper, this girl loves her little Daddy.
Nana and Papa got Maddie this sweet little dress for Valentine's day...does it shock you that it is smocked?! ;) I can think of no better dress for my sweetheart than this dress.
Feathers get her every time!
My sweetheart.
How can we go from this...
...to this.
Remember what I was saying about tantrums?...we tried to take away her lovey here :)
Yes, more pictures...but it has been so long since she felt like taking pictures we may have gone a little over board today :)
On the move!
This is a look I frequently see, aren't I lucky?! The second she sees that we are away from her, she makes a bee line for us!
Playing with Daddy!
My TWO Valentines this year!
This child has no idea how much she is loved.
One of her favorite games to play with her Daddy. It is so cute, she growls as she tries to put things in his mouth. :)
And she's off again...
Book time!
10 Month Statistics
Length 27.5 inches 27th percentile
Weight 15.8 lbs 8th percentile
(I know, I know, but I don't think she looks THAT small...but no worries, I am watching her like a hawk.) Poor baby, she has experienced the joys of being a doctor's baby this past month. She has had her temperature checked (the real way), her lungs auscultated, and her ears examined more than most babies have their first year.
Head Circumference 17.75 inches 75th percentile
