Moving, moving, gone!

Well, our little sweetpea turned 9 months and is on the go! She started crawling and we haven't been able to stop her since! Madison finally got her little belly off the ground and made her first few moves on Saturday. It took her a few days, but now she's really got the hang of it. It's so funny to watch her, she'll crawl around a bit, then stop and situp like she's soooo worn out! :)

Another recent milestone for her has been pulling herself up completely on her own. Yep, that's right, all by her big self! A few days ago, we were laying in bed and we hear a rattling in her room. Well, low and behold, guess who's sitting up in her crib! Yep, little Miss Smiley has sat up and is now making noises with the crib rails. She also loves to do this while she's standing up in her crib.

Her second tooth finally came in all the way. Now, we've got two little shining pearls :)

Not much new with us.....
Darren has been hunting quite a bit on his days off. When he's not in the woods, he's out in the yard working on removal of trees & brush from the yard, hanging Christmas lights, etc.

I've been doing a lot of project inside the house. We finally finished painting the living room, kitchen & Madison's playroom. I picked a sweet marzipan (yellow) for the lv room & kitchen. Madison's playroom is a soft lavender/gray mixture, Tunnel of Love. How approriate! Now, I'm working on getting everything back on the walls...re-arranging some. My next set of projects will be the bathrooms...they desperately need some color, too.
Recently, I joined a mom's group for Ft. Benning/Columbus moms. Madison & I went to our first playgroup today and met some really nice gals and their kiddos! It's so nice to finally get out of the house and meet some new people! :) And you should've seen Madison with the other kids...she's a little social butterfly already !!!

We are heading out in a few weeks for the holidays to visit our families. We'll be in IL first, then venture down to IN. We hope to see everyone on our trips. :)

We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year!
