9 Months!

Maddie had her 9 month doctor's appointment on Monday. She's doing really well. They were happy with her development; crawling, pulling up, babbling a blue streak. Growth-wise, she is pretty much dead-on 50th percentile. She had some lab work done today, standard stuff to check for anemia and other nasty issues, but that's just a precaution. (PS - Mommy lesson learned: Always take 2 adults along to get baby's blood work done, and have one sit in the back with baby on the way home. Otherwise, baby will pull the bandage off in the car and get blood on lots of stuff. Less than fun.)

In the news, she's figured out how to get from crawling to sitting, and vice versa. So now she can crawl everywhere, then sit and enjoy the view. She's also discovered the "Tupperware cabinet". It's a source of endless entertainment for everybody in the house. She's also learned to pull up with no help by climbing on Mommy, Daddy, and Max. We're waiting for the night she pulls up in the crib and can't figure out how to get back down. :-)
