Madelyn is 9 months old! She is getting so big. At her 9 month check up on Monday, she weighed 18 pounds and was 25 1/2 inches long. That puts her in the 75th percentile for weight and the 25th for height (on the Down syndrome growth charts). She has a second tooth coming in too! She has been really happy and laughing a lot lately. The last two days she laughed and babbled the whole way home from grandma's house. It cracked me up! I don't know what was so funny, but she was entertaining herself. She has the cutest little laught- it sounds like a 1/2 laugh and 1/2 cough. Maddie has also started grabbing my face and then giving me a kiss. She wraps her arms around my neck for a hug too. Here are some pictures of Maddie getting ready for bed!
We took advantage of the beautiful weather this weekend and went to the park Saturday afternoon. Madelyn fell asleep on the way there and slept the whole time, so we didn't get to play on the playground equipment. Bella had fun though!
Here is Maddie's squinty-eyed smile- she does this all the time now and I love it!
Richard and I are doing a program at church called "6 Dates." For the six Saturdays during Lent, we meet at church to watch a short video and then go on a date! Maddie's Grandma Debbie came over to babysit Saturday night while we went on our first date. She loves spending time with her Grandma Debbie!
