9 months in, 9 months out

At nine months old, Madelyn has now officially been with us as long outside of the womb as she was inside the womb. Wild! Her latest tricks include:

1. Singing. We've been playing a lot of music lately, and every now and then she'll just stop what she's doing, open her mouth very wide, and belt out an enthusiastic "ahhhhh" right along with the song. Typically, this is accompanied with some voracious drumming on whatever flat surface happens to be in front of her.


2. Dancing. Maddie's dance of choice is the twist. She does this torso-hip twist thing with her forearms and hands straight out from her sides that is just too cute.

3. Roaring. Nana taught Madelyn how to roar like a lion when asked "what does a lion say?" We have yet to catch this on video, but when we do, we'll post it. It is HILARIOUS. Sometimes, it's more of a newborn cub than a lion on the hunt, but she does it almost every time you ask.


4. Eating. Madelyn is very interested in food these days...but only if it's on Mommy or Daddy's plate. She'll eat her pureed stuff, but give her some blueberry pancake or a bite of peach or a taste of Rice Krispies in the morning and she literally "mmm's" her delight.

Maddie's got mad skills! Now she just needs to pick up nunchuck skills, and bow hunting skills...

Glad to hear about the drumming!
