8 months

Maddie will repeatedly crawl to this spot under the table. She just wants that speaker stand.

All she wants is to be with Emma.

Tomorrow Maddie turns 8 months and I really can't believe how old she is getting. She's leaving the just-do-nothing age and now is non-stop on a mission. She started crawling last week, and each day she gets faster and more adventurous. We already had to lower her crib at little because she pulls herself up on her knees and peers over the edge (usually yelling for us to get her), and now pulls up on her knees on every and anything. She's getting lots of bumps on the head already.
She just started imitating our sounds, she makes a kiss sound and tries to make a raspberry. Just today she was copying Bill and saying Dada. Even the little milestones of life are making me sad how fast she is growing; like her Swaddler diapers are almost too small...

A quick list
