Back to the grind...

Well, mommy is back to work which means that Madison has gotten to meet some new people and make some new friends!  She started at her in-home daycare yesterday and so far is adjusting well to the new schedule.  Here are a couple of pictures that Beth has sent to ease my nerves and brighten my day!


So far Maddie's smiles don't come cheap....she must be having a good time!

I'm told she already has a buddy.  Here she is checking him out.  Do I sense a new boyfriend??  Watch out, daddy!! :)


She is the youngest out of the other children as of right now so she has some observing to do for a little while yet but before we know it she'll be running around and playing with the others in no time!

All Good Things...

Well, this is the last week of my maternity leave.  While I am ready to get back to work and into our "new normal" routine, I am going to really miss spending so much time with my little peanut.  Below are just a few of my favorite pictures that were taken throughout the summer.  Enjoy!


Oh so tired...


First trip to Ankeny!  Stopped at Hardee's for a late lunch, just hanging with Grandpa Charlie!
 

 Lazy morning with mommy!

Taking a snooze in her harness while mommy does some chores around the house!

Gazing at herself in the mirror.  Oh such a pretty girl!

Took a day trip to visit daddy at work!  She was a hit among his co-workers.

BIG yawn!

Relaxing with Grandpa Roger while car shopping with mommy and daddy....very tiresome!

 Such a big girl in her bumbo!  Watching Friends with mommy!

Always ready for a fun shopping trip with mommy!

Precious moment with daddy!

Entertaining some friends with a card game night!  (Daddy's hand must not have been so good!)

Ready for a fun day of shopping and errands with mommy!

On the morning of her 2 month check-up!  My little reindeer all clean after her bath!

Post 2 month check-up.  She is a healthy 13 lbs 7 oz and 23 inches long!  She is in the 90th percentile for both height and weight.  She got three vaccinations today and made mommy really proud! 

 Relaxing with Grandma Marilyn on her front porch on a beautiful afternoon!

Getting snuggly with Great-Grandma Alice on the deck! 

Monkeying around with her favorite cousins Connor, Danielle and Caitlin!
