Maddie turned 10 months old this week. She has changed so much in the last month. She has gone from rolling to pulling up and crawling in a matter of days! She is not cruising yet, but I think she is close. She also walks well when she holds our fingers and we walk with her.
Also, she has mastered finger foods. She eats bananas, pears, diced baked apples, peaches, beans, chicken, turkey, cubed squash and sweet potatoes. She will eat pretty much anything that you put in front of her. Along with puffs she has started snacking on baby goldfish, cheerios, little crunchies and yogurt melts.
Her first tooth broke through a few days before Christmas and a second one is about to break trough any day now. You can see her new tooth in the picture below.
On top of teething she has had a second ear infection in her right ear. Adam and I took her to the 'after hours' pediatrician on New Year's Eve. We didn't want to wait until Monday to get her into the doctor. I was pretty impressed with the doctor.
A big accomplishment this week is not using the pacifier. She mostly only had it during naps anyway. I have decided that we are done with that. She takes a lot longer to fall asleep and is fussy at first, but she eventually gets over it.
I will be glad when the ear infection, runny nose and teething are over (for now) and she is back to her sweet self.
She also says MAMA and DADA! Although I don't think she knows what she is saying :-)
