Maddilyn: 11 months

Maddilyn is 11 months old and counting.  Only 18 days until we celebrate the day she was born. That was one of the most exciting days of my life. How much life has changed since that day, for the better. It's hard to remember what life was like before Maddilyn. She is such an important part of our family.

Maddi loves emptying the clothes out of Kimee and Audrey's dresser. It is a bit frustrating when clean clothes have just been folded and put away, but she loves it and it keeps her busy for a while. But no more folded clothes in the drawers for awhile. . .

She even tries to put a few back in!

As you know, Maddi loves eating. She really likes bananas, and not just little pieces cut up. She gnaws off of the entire thing. Her two teeth do the job! In the last week or so Maddi has stopped eating baby food. I guess she's had enough of that and only wants the real thing.

Maddi fell asleep in her high chair at dinner time. But Audrey couldn't believe she was really asleep.

So Audrey put another piece of Eggo into Maddi's mouth, just to see if she would eat it? I'm not sure the logic on this one, but it did make for a funny picture.

Maddi has missed her afternoon nap a few times recently, so here we have her again, asleep in the high chair at dinner time. So cute!

This month went by too quickly, and now it's just a countdown to when Maddi turns one. We are so excited for her birthday! We are going to have a huge party to celebrate this wonderful little girl. We are hoping for nice weather on the 13th so we don't all have to be inside :)
