Miracle Grow

She must be eating it when my back is turned...... Maddux had her 9-month well-check this morning. My girl is still growing at a crazy rate; she's in the 95% for height and 70% for weight. Obviously she did not get that height from me....at this rate she'll be taller than me before she starts school! No shots left Max very happy, but still tired. She was snoring (loudly!) ten minutes after we got back in the car.

Mad Dog is still crawling and pulling up every waking moment. She's going through a little bit of a clingy stage right now, but she still loves her independent play. This has landed her a collection of forehead bruises, however. Maddie loves to pull up on chairs and Eli's train table, but sometimes she gets overconfident and lets go too early, landing her head on the wood. Her newest trick is sitting in her crib before and after naps. She appears to be asleep, as the monitor is silent, but when you open the door, she is sitting up (usually facing the wall where her name is), holding her blanket and sucking her thumb. You can barely make it out in the picture, but here she is!
