New car seat

a

Madelyn will be 1 year old in less than four weeks. I don't know what we're doing for her birthday yet. Our families are so spread out that I don't know who will come to Madelyn's birthday party.
Madelyn is still crawling all over the house. I have to look down all the time so I'm not stepping on her. She's cruising the furniture now too. I think she'll be walking in the next couple of weeks.
Madelyn is getting too tall for her old infant car seat so I bought a new convertible car seat. The new car seat will be nice because Madelyn should have it for a couple of years. The new seat goes up to 70 lbs. The only thing that sucks is that now if Madelyn falls asleep in her infant car seat then I can carry the whole seat in the house. Now I'll have to wake her up when I need to get her out of the car.

Trip to Eureka

We went to Eureka for the second time in a month to addend another wedding. Madelyn did a great job traveling and being moved from one activity to another. We've been so busy as a family that we need to take a break and relax. Every weekend we have someplace to go and people to see.

We went camping at Trinity Lake two weekends ago, but I forgot our camera. This was our first camping trip with the three of us. A friend had a ski boat so Jeremy was able to do a little bit of wake boarding. I made Madelyn wear a life jacket near and on the water. She looked pretty uncomfortable in the thing. But the boat rides put her right to sleep.

We've been offering Madelyn more finger foods. She loves yogurt bits which are freeze dried yogurt drops that melt your mouth. Her favorite table food is spaghetti, but it is so messy because she now gets food in her hair.

Here is a video of Madelyn crawling and trying to get our cat Nina.

10 Months Old

Madelyn is now 10 months old! She is crawling and pulling herself up. And she is onto everything. For some reason she like to eat paper and grass. So now I have to watch her all the time! Her new trick is it click her tongue against the roof of her mouth. Her 7th tooth is cutting in right now. She has 4 teeth on top and 3 on the bottom.
