Ok Maddie, time to slow down.. mom isn't ready for a walking baby yet. I was just getting used to you crawling. She does a modified crawl on tile and the grass, guess she doesn't like her knees to touch so she gets up on her tippy-toes, butt in the air, and crawls. It reminds me of those large walking machines on Star Wars. :) She's super fast when she sees something she wants, usually something she isn't suppose to have, like dad's boots or mom's flip flips.
We bought her a shopping cart last weekend and now she's doing this! (Actually she was pulling herself up first but this actually gives her something to grab onto that she won't bash her head on.) Mostly she kneels next to it for now but usually if we're sitting close to her, she'll go to stand. Let's hope she remembers to use her coupons when shopping!
Yesterday we went to JcPenney Portraits to have her 9 month photos taken. I think I may make the situation worse by trying too hard to get her to smile, but she hates sitting on the "dot" and not being able to move. Combine that with hot lights and the photographer making strange noises to grab her attention and you get a cranky baby. I brought our little friend Hannah along because she always laughs when Hannah is around but not even that was working. Poor Maddie just sat there looking at us and just when we thought she "might" smile, she busted out in tears!
Funny thing is, she was in a great mood on the way there, and on the way back, little stinker! Anyhow, we did get a few cute photos (of course!) They should be ready at the end of the month and I'll post then.

Angela, how funny, I tried to take Ainsleigh the other day as well and she was not happy. We have to go back now and try again!!!
