A blog for Maddux: A little late, just like you. : 10 Months Old

You have been a busy body this month-lots to report.

You dance whenever music is on and sometimes on command.

You clap your hands and feet together when you are excited...usually in anticipation of food.

I left you for my first weekend away to celebrate Aunt Alyssa's bachelorette party. This is the picture your dad sent me Saturday morning.

You love to get into things you know you are not supposed to be in. Dog Food is your go to.

You have started pulling yourself up on anything that you can, but your favorite is the window.

We celebrated your dad's birthday and first father's day.

When I sneeze, you meltdown.

You are like a little gopher. Crawling around with your mouth open ready to bite an unsuspecting victim. It probably didn't help that we egged you on at a birthday party when you chased Brayden and Avery as we laughed and filmed it.

You love Pouncer and have taken to chasing her around to ~~smother~~ give her hugs.

She pays me back by coming in when I am rocking you and you are on the verge of closing your eyes. She meows to announce herself and then jumps up on the rocker and puts her furry tail right in your face to wake you up. You proceed to squeal in joy with new found energy, she runs off, and we start the winding down for bed process all over. What you don't know is she sleeps on the rocker and guards you at nap time so she really secretly loves you.

Still a water baby.

You battled a cold again this month as well one front tooth breaking through. The second is right behind.

You have some new party tricks: High Five, Waving, and Pointing.

We say where is the fan and you point up, but I am beginning to think you don't know where there fan is actually located other than up.

High Five Action shot.

You love it when you "share" your food with us. You think it is hilarious to offer us food, but take it back when we get close enough to eat it. For now you can keep your mushy graham crackers, but that won't fly once you start eating chocolate. Consider yourself warned.

We watched the World Cup together....but USA lost. You took it pretty hard.

This month's theme: Designer Bib's

Babies first Selfie?

You love chasing Murphy around and loving on him. You rub your face on his soft fur and smile.

You are a side and stomach sleeper. You will sleep anywhere if we let you.

Sticky Belly Photo Shoot:

Started off strong, until you saw the pool (look at that devious plotting smile on the right.). You almost went in head first causing me to nearly drop my camera in the water trying to fish you out.

And so we moved to the grass in a feeble attempt to get some shots of you sitting still. You proceeded to have as little of your body touching the green misery as possibly. Nice foot elevation.
