Maddie 11 months and counting

Maddie is 11 months old. She's crawling and walking while holding onto everything. She can stand without holding on... so we know that walking will come soon! She can climb the stairs! She is so into climbing that we got her a toy with a tiny climbing wall, a castle platform, and slide. She can usually slide down pretty well on her own. Sometimes it's not pretty, but she doesn't complain. She is talking up a storm- we just wish we knew what she was saying. She has very definite sounds for Mama, Dada, Indie ("ninny") and Thank You ("tdak du"). She laughs and squeals a lot. She's happy and has made our lives s0 happy, too!
