What does a Lion say?
Maddie has learned to growl (or roar) like a lion, and will growl when we ask "What does a lion say?"

Monthly Photo (11 Months)
And at the blink of an eye, Madeleine is 11 months old today! Where has the time gone, it seems like just a few days ago we were trying to take her 10 month picture!
Unofficial Stats:
Weight: Around 21 pounds
Height: Around 30 Inches
Maddie crawls like a champ and is so fast. We have finally baby gated the main stairs (and it has become a lot easier to watch her). She has even taken a couple of steps on 2 separate occasions! Despite us trying really hard to get her to take more steps, she prefers to crawl and will sit and crawl towards us rather than walk. She is however getting much better at walking with assistance if we are holding one or both of her hands.
In the past 2-3 weeks she has come to LOVE books and being read to. She will pick up a book and hold it up and loves to hear the same story over again (and gets fussy if you read a book she does not like!). She still loves to eat and meal time has become easier as she is eating more table food. We are even able to go out for a quick lunch or early dinner with her, as long as she is eating, she is content!
And here's some video of the whole process...

B A N A N A S
Maddie loves bananas!! Well she loves all food, but really loves bananas!
She has enough teeth she can eat the banana straight from the peel. We will eat the top half so she doesn't take such a big bite... but she ends up taking big bites anyways!

Maddie Plays Independently
Maddie plays pretty well independently. She will often find an object she likes, grab it in her hands, throw it away from her, then crawl for it. She will pick it up and repeat - over and over.
Here is a video of her with a half empty bag of baby wipes. She had been playing with it for about 5 minutes before I took this video of her. She then continued to play with it another 5 minutes or so after I took the video.
