Madeline's 7 month pictures

Around mid March we started seriously thinking about selling our house and moving to a larger house. A home down the street from us sold in a day for well above what homes in our area had previously sold for, so between the hot market and crazy low mortgage rates, we figured it might be a good time to see if this was a good thing. The initial home values a few realtors provided were lower than we wanted, so seeing this house sell for such a top dollar made the prospect of selling ours more realistic. Thus, for the last few months, we've been shopping the listings online and seeing a few homes in person to confirm that we could afford a new, bigger place. When we decided this was all feasible, we started getting our place ready to hit the market. Since then, all of our efforts have gone toward getting the house on the market while things are still moving quickly. Thus, Maddie's 7 and 8 month pictures are a few weeks late (ok, I still need to take her 8 month pictures, hopefully tonight!)

Anyway, I managed to find a bit of time in mid April to snap these. Our sweet girl is growing so quickly!



Convincing her to stay on the rocking chair is now getting more difficult, as she's so antsy to be on the move.






Molly wanted to take part in the photo session. Maddie really loves watching her, and enjoys crawling over to her. She's also starting to drop more and more food for Molly, so they're getting to be good friends :)







At 7 months, Madeline would get up on all fours and rock back and forth, and had started army crawling to get where she wanted to be. She could make forward progress, but more often than not would scoot backwards and end up quite upset when she'd back under pieces of furniture!
