9 Months Old & 6 teeth

Hey everyone!
Sorry for the lack of updates. Have been traveling for work the last 3 weeks, so haven't been able to post much. Have quite a few updates though!!

Maddyn now has 6 teeth- yes, you read that right...Tooth #5 and #6 both came before her "9 month birthday". It's crazy!!! She now has all 4 top front teeth and her bottom two. The doctor says it looks like she's starting to cut her 12 month molars too, since her gums are so swollen. A mouth full of teeth so early... yikes - let's hope that doesn't mean lots of braces! Ouch!

She's still crawling, standing, walking while holding on to things, and babbling up a storm. It's amazing how "grown up" she seems. She doesn't feel like a baby any more, that's for sure. :(
She is doing better at eating now. We're still on a 100% organic diet, but she is doing table foods (pancakes, pastas, fruits/veggies all crumbled up and Stage 3 jar foods) and it is going a little better.
We had her 9 month appt last week and she is still off the charts.
Weight: 22lb 6 oz
Height 30.75 inches
Otherwise, her appt went well and she's doing great!!

I took her 9 month "pro" photos last weekend, but have to upload and edit them. So I should have them in about two weeks. In the meantime, I have lots and lots of photos I loaded onto Shutterfly for you to take a look at!!! Here's just a teaser:

Dave's Birthday and more

I've just finished uploading more photos from Dave's birthday and other gtg's we've had lately. I'm finally caught up on photos! I just have to finish the ones from my 30th birthday party now.
I have some fun videos of maddyn to upload, and will try to do that this week.
Here are some of my favorites that I just put on Shutterfly!

No Way! Another tooth!

I know the doc said they'd come quickly, but wow. We got another top tooth in last night. That's a total of 4 teeth and she's not even 9 months yet! The odd thing, is that her two top teeth are not the two middle ones!! I hope that is not a bad sign, lol.

More pictures being loaded to Shutterfly now! Slowly but surely, I'm getting them up!

More teeth = more fussiness!

Well, our great little sleeper has decided she spoiled us way too long. The nights of Maddyn sleeping for 11 hours straight have not been consistent any longer. They upped her medicines yet again, hoping that would help. It has. However, the doctor told us that her gums are very swollen and to expect to see 4 more teeth (faint) very soon. 5 days later, a new tooth popped! So Maddyn now has 3, and it looks like 3 more on the way. Well, at least we hope- the teething has made our happy baby very fussy this time around, and so the quicker the better :)

She's still crawling up a storm. She's starting to "cruise" (Pulls herself up and walks by holding onto things like furniture). So we babyproofed the house pretty well this weekend. Hopefully we're set for awhile- but I'm sure she'll find something we missed!

This weekend was filled with good times with friends and family. Dave turned 33 yesterday (9/1), though if you ask him, he'll tell you he's 25 ;) We had a doggie GTG with some friends, a BBQ, and went to the zoo! Needless to say, more photos. I'm working on getting them up on the shutterfly site. I just posted more last night. There are still plenty more to come. I'm trying to find the time, and hope to have it up to date by this weekend. We have another crazy busy weekend ahead, so I want to make sure I have room on my memory card (so I need to delete the old photos!)

Hope everyone had a great labor day weekend!
