Swinging is fantastic!

Peekaboo ........ I see you

Time to stop cleaning the floors

After three months of cleaning the floors, I thought it was time to give mummy a break from soaking all of my clothes and start crawling on all fours. Following in my brother's footsteps I have been a commando crawler since I was eight months old, but I have discovered I can see more and get around faster if I crawl on my hands and knees. Look out!

This video shows my first attempt so please don't judge my technique - degree of difficulty - 10.5.



I've also figured out that pulling myself up onto anything I can is the best - it is amazing how much more you can see from up here!!

Sleeping beauty

Mummy and Daddy are so happy with me. I started sleeping through the night about two weeks ago. I like it too - I get so much more sleep! Yippee!

Bathtime fun!

Life and times of Madeline - 10 months .... almost

So it's been a while since I last updated my blog, but so many things have been happening - hey I'm almost 10 months .......... life can't get much busier.

So here's an update: I started crawling at the end of November .......... I like commando style as it helps mummy clean the floors. I'm such a helpful little gal! However, I realised there is no future in it (no money) so I am thinking about progressing to full blown crawling, but am still teetering on the edges while I make my mind up.

So I passed my first Christmas with flying colours as a Christmas fairy. Mummy and Daddy thought it would be really funny to dress Jackson and I up - I am sure we will hate them for it in years to come, but everyone thought I looked cute so that is all that is important.

I got lots of presents, but between you and me, eating the wrapping paper was the most fun!

I now have six chomping teeth to chew on everything with - Mummy's arm is especially yummy. I have other teeth that have been teasing me and hurting lots, but they still haven't come through yet.

I have been playing lots with my boyfriend Toby - he is 3 weeks older than me and we hold hands.

In November I went to my first concert ever - B52s, The Proclaimers and Mental As Anything. I have no idea who any of these bands are but it was really fun and really really loud.

Summer has been fun. I really like the beach and eating sand is great!

That is about all I can muster up out of my baby brain right now, but I hope you've enjoyed reading. More updates soon.

Teeth, teeth and more teeth

I have six new dangerous weapons to chomp on Daddy's finger with. That's right - four teeth came through at the same time and hurt so much. But they don't hurt anymore as they are now through. Six down and 14 more to go - yikes!
