Where to start with all the updates! It seems this past week Madelyn decided to reach all sorts of milestones. The biggest milestone being CRAWLING!!!! We thought for awhile she may skip crawling since she she was an all-star roller and has started to pull herself up heading towards walking. However, last week she finally started getting on all 4 and rocking. This weekend she finally started crawling. She has not mastered it yet and does it the most on hardwood or tile. As excited as we are to watch her learn this we quickly are learning how she can move anywhere now and nothing in the house is off limits! Let the fun begin!
The second big update is she said her first word. She beat the odds and went with MAMA ( I'm sure you can imagine the grin on my face!) Derek needless to say spends most of his time with her saying dada over and over again hoping it will be coming any moment now.
This past week my cousin Elly came to spend her Spring Break with us, or should we say Madelyn lol! I absolutely LOVED having her here! It meant so much to us that she gave up her last Spring Break to visit us. Not to mention how wonderful she was to Madelyn all week taking care of her. I tried to convince her to stay and be our nanny but sadly she left yesterday to head back! Mads was very sad to see her new bud leave. Of course her Aunties sent many adorable gifts so that Madelyn is going to be very stylish this spring and summer! She is one spoiled little girl.

So glad we got to spend St Patty's with Elly!
My first St. Patrick's Day ( thanks Aunt Natalia for my cute outfit)
Tomorrow Madelyn will be 9 months! This weekend I couldn't help but think it is going to be time to plan her first birthday before we know it! As much as I want time to slow down it seems each week she enters a new stage that is more and more fun!
