I have something to tell you

And lastly...



As you can tell I feel very passionately about this.

I have a question...

Do you think all these ruffles on my bum makes me look fat?

Look at what I can do!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I got to visit with lots of family yesterday. I first saw my Uncle Donny, Aunt Cathy, cousin Renee, cousin Laura, Great Gramma, and Aunt Loraine. I was a very good girl and Aunt Cathy played with me while my Mommy and Daddy ate.

Then Grampy, Gramma, and Uncle Mikey came over to Mommy and Daddy's house where Memere and Grandpa were already helping with Thanksgiving dinner. Here are some pictures of my little family. Look at how cute I am in my green velvet dress!


Uncle Mikey even held me!


Uncle Matt, Auntie Alicia, and cousin Thijs stopped by afterwards too! Unfortunately we didn't take any pictures of that because we were having such a fun time!

After everyone left, I talked with Daddy about my day.



Check back a little later to see a new trick I can do!

Exersaucer

Mommy and Daddy have given me this new toy! It has so many things on it! I don't even know what to do with it all!

Houdini!

I sleep in bed with Mommy during that last hours of the night. This morning, though, I surprised Mommy by sticking my hand out of the miracle blanket! She couldn't believe it and couldn't figure out how I did it since it has special flaps that hold my arms down. When she looked closer she noticed I had taken my arm out of my sleeve and slipped it through the whole in the neck! Silly parents underestimate me!

Gramma came and visited!

Gramma had the day off on Monday, so she was able to come down and spend some time with me. We had lots of fun playing with my stuffed toys. Daddy came home in the afternoon so Mommy could go to work. He and Gramma gave me a nice bath in the afternoon.

My Visit to Newburyport

I went to visit Auntie Alicia, Uncle Matt, and cousin Thijs's house today. Memere and Grandpa were there too! I had a great time smiling at everyone. I was so excited that I hardly took any naps today because I didn't want to miss anything. I was so pooped that I slept the whole way back home.

Mommy and Daddy were excited to hold baby Thijs. The don't remember me being this small.



Thijs has more hair than me! Auntie Alicia and Uncle Matt gave him a haircut already because it was growing into a tail in the back. I suggested he should get a mohawk.

Uncle Matt got to hold me as well. He even danced with me while the whole family sang one of my favorite songs. It was so much fun!



While we were up there, we also found out cousin Thijs is a jello jiggle baby too! Mommy got to use her technique on him while she was there. He doesn't need as much shhhing and jiggling as I do, though. I think he just hasn't learned how to milk everything for all it's worth. I tried to give him some pointers, so we'll see if he starts making Auntie Alicia and Uncle Matt work a little harder. Hehehe!



Uncle Matt and Auntie Alicia also have this pet dog named Cali. We really liked meeting one another although I think she wanted to eat my diaper for some reason. ????



Before we left, Mommy wanted to take a picture of Thijs and me in our burritos. Thijs was pooped out, but I was lively and alert as ever. He also still can use the Swaddle Me blanket, but I gave him some tips on how to get out of it!


Thijs slept in his swing as we left and Mommy took a picture of him. Isn't he so cute? I can't wait to grow up with my cousin!

Check out Memere's post about today as well. She has a video of me eating my stuffed elephant which is one of my new games. I'm kinda nutty that way!

Check it out!

Cousin Thijs has his own blog! He's super advanced for a 9 day old!

One big post with photos!

So we have lots to catch up on since Mommy's 'puter crashed. I'm able to use Daddy's work 'puter so I can upload some photos for you.

Last Sunday I was baptized. I got to wear Gramma's Christening gown and Mommy made me a headband. I didn't like sitting behind the tall people because I couldn't see what was going on, so I made Daddy stand with me and walk me around so I could get a better view.

This picture is of the actual baptism. Memere and Grandpa had to stand in for my godparents, Uncle Matt and Aunt Alicia because they were at the hospital having cousin Thijs.
These next two photos are me modeling my new headbands that Mommy made. I saw some online and asked Mommy if I could have them, but she said they were too expensive at $18 each, so she made some for me instead! I think they look just as good!


This is me sitting up with the help of Mommy. I can hold my head up really well now.

These next three are when I met my cousin, Thijs. I don't remember being that little, but Mommy says I was.


These last photos are of me in my Halloween costume. Mommy let me wear it all day!

I've been tagged!

Just an update on the 'puter first. It seems Mommy and Daddy are done their research and have ordered a new 'puter. Hopefully it will be here soon.

Next, I've been tagged by my boyfriend, Owen. I'm supposed to tell you about 8 random things about me. Let's see if I can do it.

1. I have headbands with big flowers on them that Mommy made me. Again, I'll post pictures once the new 'puter is here.
2. I had junky eye like Owen did, but it only lasted 2 days. Mommy was very happy she didn't have to deal with it for longer.
3. I have acid reflux and have to take this yummy strawberry medicine twice a day.
4. I'm so good at taking my medicine, that when I had to take the rotavirus oral vaccine the nurse said she had never seen a baby take the medicine so fast and so good. Go me!
5. Mommy calls me a lot of things other than Madeleine: Jello Baby, Big Baby, Silly, Fussbudget, and Kizzy.
6. I have worn away a small patch of hair on the back of my head from moving my head around when I'm lying down.
7. I love watching TV especially the Red Sox.
8. One of my favorite activities to do is sing with Mommy. She's bought me a lot of CDs, so I'll have to do another music review soon.

OK that's all for now! I don't know anyone else really so I can't tag anyone.
