All About Daddy (Day 16)

Family photo - Mommy and Daddy match!


Aunt Connie gets observed closely by little Maddie.



Maddie opens her eyes for just a second for Aunt Alice. She's so warm and snuggly in her new swaddle blanket!


Grandpa holds Maddie close while Grandma stands close by. Doesn't Maddie look so little next to her Grandpa?

Today was a busy day for Daddy. He stacked a face cord of wood in the garage and winterized the wave runner while Mommy and Maddie danced around the house to music from Uncle Kevin, Aunt Lorrie, Jessica and Amanda and took a nap. Daddy also made his special blueberry pancakes for Mommy! Later, we had lots of visitors - Grandma and Grandpa Freise, Aunt Connie and Aunt Alice. We talked by the fire, had a glass of wine and did a video conference with Aunt Julie, Uncle Jeremy and cousin Eva. At Maddie's last feeding of the night, she was very upset afterwards and Daddy walked around with her for over an hour trying to get the gas out. By then, it was time to feed her again, and this time she fell asleep for a whole 3 hours. Whew...at least Daddy was able to get some sleep after his busy day!
She also wore her first dress today, with baby legwarmers to keep her legs warm (we know it's not the 80s, but these are very trendy for little ones). The dress was given to her by our close friend Uncle Rob. He picked it out himself!




In 30 short seconds, Maddie shows that she is hungry, tired, wants to dance, and then gives us a little surprise ending. What a show!
