Four months

Happy four months to our joyful little baby! She has become a super-drooler, and just recently began really grabbing objects. Every day is a little adventure!

In the Pumpkin Patch

Last weekend, we went to New Jersey for the day. First stop was lunch with Dave's parents:

It was a gorgeous fall day, so we headed out to a nearby plant nursery/farm store, called Richfield Farms. Poor Maddie is too young to protest being put in nonsensical cutout scenes:

We also visited their pumpkin patch, which turned out to be an empty field where they had placed cut pumpkins. I fear the Great Pumpkin would have found it to be a very insincere pumpkin patch!

We were joined by Julie and Shoobo on this beautiful day! Dave and I were saying how we would enjoy the memory of spending this time with them for a long time.

In our continuing Jersey adventures, we visited Julie in Edgewater, and then went to the food court at Mitsuwa for dinner! Dave enjoyed the trip down memory lane, and baby enjoyed being doted on by Auntie Julie:

We'll have to do it again soon!

Three months

Already behind, and I only have one child! Well, better late than never – here are a few pictures from Madeleine's third mensaversary:

It was only a few weeks ago, and she's already changing! Her neck is much stronger now, which makes it easier for us to handle her. She loves kicking and scootching around, and she is very sociable: she smiles when you approach and gives a little wiggle! Awww.
