01.30.09 - All smiles

What do you think she's dreaming about?

01.29.09 - Hangin' with my mom

One day I think we'll look back on this image like we look back at some of our own baby photos. It has a certain Polaroid quality to it.

01.28.09 - Our two girls

This was not tonight's photo. But as I was blogging another shot, this happened. After five weeks, Harley is warming up to her sister.

(And her blankies.)

01.27.09 - Burning the midnight oil, again

For Daddy's sake, these photos need to start coming before 11 each night. At least she's always awake for the photo!

01.26.09 - Content

We're working on keeping Maddie content during the evening hours. Tonight we built a fire and hung out in the basement. She was pretty well behaved but is a little restless as we speak.

01.25.09 - Dinner and Nan & Pop's

Maddie sits with Nan at the table following her first big family dinner, a gathering with Angie's maternal family to celebrate three January birthdays and an anniversary.

01.24.09 - And so it begins ...

Maddie makes her first Target run. At least she's not old enough to ask for anything yet.

01.23.09 - Wild hair!

Maddie's hair is crazy!

01.22.09 - First walk

Maddie is bundled up for her first walk through the neighborhood. Well, Angie and Harley walked. Maddie slept.

01.21.09 - At least she didn't poop

Maddie's a month old today! We marked the occasion by going to Kelsy's studio for some family portraits. All we particularly wanted was a photo of all four of us. After that, it was up to Kelsy to do whatever she wanted to do. She had a few naked baby portraits in mind. She warned us that Maddie would probably pee on us or the floor. "All babies do," she told us. Certainly not Maddie - she's perfect!

This is Angie holding the blanket under Maddie's bum the first time she sprang a leak. She got me, and my new shirt, the second time.
