Madison Kate you are in the double digits now! Only 2 more months till you are one and it makes this momma sad and happy all at the same time! 

Oh how I wish time could stand still so neither one of us grows older! ;) You change so much every month it's so fun to watch and such a blessing. I still can't believe you are ours!!!

Here's what you have been up to:

-You are finally sleeping through the night again. Daddy "ferberized you" he says!
-You have your 4 front top teeth ALL coming in at the SAME time! They aren't quite in all the way but they are close! Oh how teeth make someone look so different! ha! And you have another bottom one coming in.

-You are becoming a whiz at crawling!

-We cleaned out the dining room and now it's your very own playroom that I can't wait to decorate! 

-Your typical open mouth smiling faces have now turned into crazy faces! You will make the most random faces and noises! It's hilarious!

-You had your very first Valentine's and daddy got you your very first flowers! 

-Tinley, Aunt Heather, Uncle Josh, and Gigi came to visit! You loved touching Tinley and checking her out!

-You no longer want to lay down in your baby tub so we got you a bath tub chair for you to sit in.

You absolutely LOVE the water and would stay in there for hours if I let you and if the water would stay warm. 

-You are still doing amazing at school! I am so glad you are loved so much every day at school! You are also making a few friends at school. I think your favorite friend right now is Jackson!
-You just started blowing your lips together and will do it constantly!
-You have discovered you can walk with your little walker toy.

Here is what you are up to:

-You are crawling!!!

-You started standing up in your crib! We had to definitely lower it asap! 

-You are not sleeping very well...I think you might be teething! Oh how I miss you sleeping through the night! 

-You and Bailey are becoming good friends fast!

-You started eating organic baby food from Whole Foods. Mommy still makes your food but you eat like the organic baby food from the store a lot better! Avacado is still your most favorite food!

Here is what you were up to:

-You have definitely become way more independent. It's so fun to see you play and wonder what you are thinking! 

-You want to crawl so bad and are up on all fours just waiting to start moving! I am not ready for that! I like that you just sit there and play and do not move! 

-You have started pulling up in your crib trying to stand but haven't quite gotten that far yet. 

-You have your front two bottom teeth and it makes you looks so much older!

-We had Christmas at our house for the first time since everyone was out of town. 

-We did fly to Virginia to see your Great Grandma Phelps! That was your first airplane ride and you loved looking out the window. You did great going there but coming back you were very tired and a little cranky on the plane. 

-We bought you a swing for Christmas and you love it! 

-You still love going to school and they absolutely adore you there!!! They tell me everyday how much they love you! 

-You also visited Santa Clause and to my surprise you did not cry but had the biggest smile! I hope you do that next year! 

-We also rang in the New Year flying back home from VA! You did not stay up till midnight neither did your mommy or daddy! 

2013 brought us the best gift we could have ever asked for! It was a the most perfect year and we are so blessed you came into your lives! We love you very much! 

Here is what you have been up to this past month:

-You can sit up on your own and play a little but you can't crawl away just yet. 

-Poor thing got your first eye infection but you were a pro at those thick nasty eye drops! 

-Your laugh is contagious and so is your smile! 

-Since you are sitting up better you can now sit in a grocery cart all by yourself and you absolutely love it! 

-You tasted real food that mommy has made for you! Your favorite is avocado! 

-I was so excited to take some family pictures because I just knew you would smile....boy was I wrong. You cried the whole time but we did get a few good pictures. 

-For your first Thanksgiving we went to see Gigi and Pops in San Angelo. We also had a little Christmas with them too. You also met your cousin Tinley for the first time too!
