Fireplace

Thank you neighbors for the bear hat and the faux-fireplace. The space heater really keeps us warm.

Getting Cooler

The weather is cooling down and the sweaters have come on here in Michigan. Madeline loves her woolie pants from grandma.

Dr. B. watched us nurse and told us that we were doing great. Before the weigh in, she patted Miss Maddie's naked tummy and exclaimed "This is an example of successful breastfeeding!"

Hanging out with Mom

Madeline and I spend a lot of time these days just hanging out. She sits in my lap and we check e-mail together. What a gal!

Oregon in Michigan

Madeline celebrated her 3-month birthday (and emergence from newborn-hood) at the Oregon-Michigan game in the Big House in Ann Arbor along with 100k-plus other football fans. Talk about a coming out party! Also, Grandpa Dan was in attendance to witness her first full-fledged body roles the weekend of September 9th. Madeline rolled from her belly to back not once but three times in a row! She must have been excited for the game.

Pre-game Nap: Luckily we were able to find a green baby-size tshirt at the last minute in Ann Arbor. Who would have thought? Those Wolverines really didn't know what was about to him them!

Madeline and Uncle Taylor

Yes, Maddie, that's right. Oregon scored ANOTHER touch down. Go ducks!

Check out that scoreboard - 39-7!
