Some random January posts

Here are a few pics from the past week or so, it's been a crazy few weeks full of snow and unfortunately, illness. Madeline had another pretty bad ear infection, but she seems to have recovered!

I have no idea how this look evolved, but it did....

Admiring her belly. And shoes.

Chasing after poor Otto.

We were putting away the Christmas decorations (:-() and Madeline had to wrap this garland around her as a fashion statement.

All dressed up for the snow.

It was almost taller than her!

Still not totally sure about this snow thing...

Hmm, maybe it will taste good?!?!

Eh, she's still not impressed....

Now we're talking - hot cocoa, nice and warm!

Seeing her kitchen for the first time!

Madeline's "big gift" this year was her kitchen set, from my mom and dad. She woke up from her nap, and Josh, the incredibly patient person that he is, had spent hours assembling it. The following three pictures are sequential ones of her reaction!

I think she likes it!!

Christmas Day

Playing dress-up with Nanny, who made her the most adorable dress-up trunk ever!

With Nanny and Uncle Collin.

Maybe, before she's 21, we'll get one of all of us smiling at the camera! This is pretty funny though! And yes, that's a rockin' tinsel tree behind us!

Christmas eve

We went down to NY to my Aunt Lisa's house for Christmas Eve festivities. It was a great time!

This was Christmas Eve day and she's opening her ornament. I posted this pic since it's good representation of her gift-opening face, which is sometimes paired with "Oh my goodness!"

Clapping with Auntie Joy.

We got to visit Great Grandma!

Ready for the party!

Kisses between the bars

I had to post this video for all of you non-Facebookers out there. I was able to catch part of this cute moment between Josh and Madeline.
