Watch this slide show and you will see Mattie standing! She makes me so nervous pulling up everywhere! She is getting the hang of it though. Look at my new fire place. I had to barricade it with the ottoman and trash can. She is still persistent at trying to find a way to get to it.

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Just an update on Mattie......

Mattie is crawling everywhere. Which means "spit-up is everywhere too! She has good reflux days, but she still has some pretty messy and bad ones too! No more army crawling. She is doing the "regular" crawl. She is pulling up on items now. She is not a pro at this yet so of course this makes me very nervous! She loves to hold our fingers and walk like a big girl. Wow! These past eight months has flown by! She is getting to be such a big girl, which makes me sad! Mattie is saying Ma, Ma and just yesterday she started saying Da, Da!
Last week we put Mattie in the big girl tub! She hated it! Then we decided to put her little tub in the big tub to ease the transition. We also had a few play sessions in the tub without water. Finally, last night she took a bath in the big girl tub. Just Mattie and her toys! I even put her on her tummy and she crawled around and fell twice, but she did not get upset. Let's put it this way, Mattie is not good with change, but give her some time and she does great!
We love our "Tink-Tink"! I will have more pictures up soon.

Mattie went to Haley and McKenzie's Birthday party! Haley turned 1 on October 31st and McKenzie turns 4 on November 13th. Mattie was "mommy clingy" but after a hour she warmed up and let her family hold her.
