Miss Independent! (40 weeks)

I love taking walks with my Daddy and my Daisy!


Have I said before that I am SOOOOO busy?!?!

Is this a girl happy to be walking or what?


Mommy does her best to stay one step ahead of me, but I usually still get around her. I love eating dog food (unfortunately, she bought a baby gate and now uses this to keep me in the lounge while she is getting breakfast in the kitchen), I am growing with my need to feed myself, I love to go but HATE the getting there (I cause a fuss in the car seat these days), and my Daisy and I are best friends.

Mmmm, bananas (Mommy still has to put it on the fork, but I do the rest).
PS. Like my morning hair? :)

We were lucky enough to have Daddy around for a few days this week. He hung out and played with me because he had a back procedure on Tuesday. Mommy and I hung out in Cambridge. We visited Tesco, had a picnic, took a nap in the car, and just waited for Daddy to be ready to come home. He was more numb this time so walking was a bit amusing. He used my stroller to guide himself out of the hospital and to the car so that the nurses wouldn't make him stay any longer (although Mommy told him we needed to hang out a bit more). Hopefully we get this back pain resolved so that he can feel better and doesn't have to start all over with new doctors with our upcoming move!

Daddy is so much fun!
(Wonder why I have "no fear"?)

Mommy and I went to Ms. Misty's for dinner on Thursday night. I got to play with her "boys" Gizmo and Duke (doggies) and had lots of fun!


My 5,6,7, and 8th tooth are coming all at once and Mommy's jewelry makes a Great teether!


This weekend we went and shot my 9 month pictures at the Botanic Gardens. Mommy hopes that I gave Teresa at least one good picture because I was much too busy eating rocks and flowers to look up and smile! For example, while Ms. Teresa tried to interest me in some bubbles, I was WAY more interested in the machine making the bubbles!

My "curious" look.


Well, that is all for the week. Below is my favorite game, played on a daily basis. Whether using a blankie or the curtains, I can rock it!

Love you all!
Madelyn and gang

Love those pics of Madelyn in the air! Holy cow...that girl can fly! When baby gets busy, mom gets twice as busy... You've got yourself a toddler! Much love to all you Meltons!

Oh my goodness Madelyn you are getting so big and I miss you a ton. You are certainly Miss Independent! I can't wait to run with you this winter--in warm Texas. You are so great at flying--I know some great-grandmas and great-great aunts(Irma)that would be really nervous if they saw you flying so high!! Way to go daddy!!

Hugs and Kisses--talk to you soon!
