madeline 9 months!

madeline had her 9 month check up today. i can so not believe she is 9 months!! time has flown by! she is looking good. still small (not even on the chart). she only gained 3 ounces in 2 months, but she is on developmentally. so the dr is going to check her out more fully in 3 months. at a year she has blood taken anyway, so they will just make sure everything is ok. i am sure she is fine! she is just tiny, like the other 2! (hana only weighed 16 pounds at a year... and was running around.) i am not so worried :)

madeline's new abilities :)

• can get just about anywhere crawling.

• can push up to sitting from laying down/ crawling.

• pull up to standing, she has done this several times. she pulls up on the couch, on the leapfrog table, and on me!
  

• has stood for a couple of seconds on her own without falling.

• has no fear. will be standing on the floor holding on to the edge of the couch. she will let go and leap in my direction... hoping i will catch her. i always do!

• she waves her hands. not always at the appropriate times... but still waving!

• she will point to your nose if you ask her to!

• has some serious separation anxiety... only from me!

• don't forget her 2 teeth!!
  

if you click on the picture you can see her tiny teeth :)
