One of my best friends, Mady and I also took a trip this past weekend to San Antonio to visit our other best friend. It was Mady's first girls trip and she had a great time! Our other big news is we got a new car this week. After a couple of trips out of town we realized our car just wasn't big enough so we traded it in for a GMC Acadia and I love it! I never thought I'd be able to drive a big car like that but it drives surprisingly well.

As for our little girl, she is a mover and a shaker these days. She can army crawl like a pro and gets anywhere she needs to go. She gets up on her knees a lot more now and crawls on them for a little while and then gives up and goes back to her army crawl. She also is pulling up a lot more. On the coffee table, bookshelf, toys, crib. She has such a look of accomplishment once she pulls up to standing. Mady can also wave, shake, kiss, drum, dance, and somewhat clap. Clap to her means hit her hands against her legs. My favorite has to be her dancing. When she hears music she starts bouncing up and down. It's so cute:)
Her favorite word these days is dada. She says it all the time and as much as I try to get her to say mama, dada is all that comes out. Her daddy loves it of course! They say dada is a lot easier for them to say so I'm giving her a pass...for now ;)
She's still a great eater and loves everything. She eats three meals a day and soon I'll start giving her little finger foods. As for sleeping we are doing great in that area too. She normally has two naps a day around an hour and a half and sleeps about twelve hours at night.
A couple of weeks ago Mady's first tooth started cutting through. Luckily, it didn't seem to affect her too much. She still slept normally, and we didn't have any fever. The reason I had a feeling she might be was because of all the drool coming from her mouth. When I went to feel her gums, sure enough it was the bottom one popping up. The second tooth on the bottom started coming up this past weekend so she now has two teeth! I'm so glad that it hasn't been too hard on her because I've heard such sad stories of other babies while teething.
No doctor appointment this month, but there will be one next month when she turns nine months! I can't believe that. Where does the time go?!
