Slobbers & all...

<~Our little sleepy shopper (before Strawberry Shortcake, we had to entertain her with a pillow)


Madison Michelle turned 8 months old last week and acting like such a "big" girl :)
She's jabbering in her own little language so much more now. She's even added a few real words...Dada and Mama. We hear Dada most often and Mama when she's upset.
Her first little tooth is pocking it's sharp little head up through her gums. We just noticed a second one right beside it. So you can imagine we've had some good days and some cranky ones. She has discovered it with her tongue and it's so cute to watch her wiggle it around. :)

Madison still hasn't crawled but has learned to scoot herself around the living room on her bum. When we lay her on her tummy, she scoots herself backwards. She does love to stand up (still with our help), but she loves seeing the world in a different view.

Speaking of different views, you should see her when we go shopping! Madison is now able to sit up in the shopping cart and thinks she is the little queen bee! We bought a cute Strawberry Shortcake shopping cart cover with attachments for her toys, so she is stylish and having fun!
No matter where we venture, this child attracts the attention! Everyone loves to stop and talk to her....she "talks" back and offers her big smile! :) Most people comment how beautiful her eyes are and ask if she's always this happy. I eagerly respond, yes! We're such lucky parents to have little girl with such a great disposition!!
