Update - almost 11 months!

Holy cow, where does the time go? We never even posted any 10 months info and now she's 11 months old this Saturday! Granted, now we're a tad busier now that school is in full-swing. Oh well, here we go:

Maddie's doing great - she's growing and learning at a wonderful and sometimes alarming pace; we can't believe our little baby is almost ONE! Scary! She's cruising, feeding herself finger food, and speed-crawling all over the house. Her biggest accomplishment - WE'RE SO PROUD - is her first word: "HI!" (accompanied by a wave!) She "hi"'s family and strangers alike, and it's definite now that she understands that you say "hi" when someone walks in a room (or when you notice them for the first time, whatever).

She's also doing fine, health-wise, too. She had her follow-up appointment at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia on Monday, and her pediatric gastroenterologist is very happy with her progress. She gave us a gradual plan for weaning Maddie off her medications, which we'll start this week. Maddie also got her flu shot on Monday. Such a big day for our little girl!

Birthday plans are in the making - sorry, no pony rides, bouncy rooms, clowns, or magicians. But we'll keep you posted.

Maddie in Blair Music Center

We traveled to LVC last weekend for Homecoming 2007. We ran into some old friends, watched the march down, pregame and half-time shows, visited some old haunts, and even ate lunch in the old dining hall! Maddie couldn't believe how much room there was to crawl around in the Blair Music Center lobby. We went to classes there every day as music students, and being there brought back some fond old memories. Seeing Maddie crawling around those hallways was a bit surreal, too.

Maddie Loves to Read!

This was taken September 29th. She loves a good book.

Long Time No Post!

Sorry, it's been quite busy!
Maddie, work, knocking down a wall in the kitchen, etc.

There we so many cute ones, but we settled on one with room for text - and a sweet ducky smile - for our little Halloween pictures:
