Maddie's first turkey day! So many pictures... here are a few. It was a good day with both sides of the family... lots of laughs and lots of food & drink! And of course Maddie was her usual happy self.

Singing

Maddie loves singing in the evenings. You would think that a bath would calm her down but instead it seems to liven her up.

Teething

We can't see any teeth yet, but her gums have been really hard, swollen and red.

She used a teething ring for the first time this week. She would only lick it and then lick her tongue across her lips.. such a silly!!

Maddie learning to drink?

Maddie is learning how to hold her own bottle. She turns toward it when she hears it being shaken up, she reaches toward it & grabs for it.

What is Aunt Kim teaching Maddie? One day a bottle of formula and the next a Killians. Shheeezzz!

Our Little Rock Star

Tom and I have always said that whether we would have a boy or a girl - we were going to have a little rock star. So when Tom had to play on Saturday night and we couldn't go see him, we decided to send our support by taking some "rock star" pictures.

You have to know Tom to appreciate how cool it is to see Maddie posed with the gory Metallica banner. (A side note - my poor girl is cursed with her Mommy's chubber thighs!)

Our little girl is gradually learning how to sit up on her own... a few more weeks and she'll have it mastered.

Those dimples!!

She doesn't have the ability to throw up the "horns" yet, but soon enough!

Fall Leaves

A busy weekend... Mandy, Bailey and Mom came over for the weekend. On Saturday morning, Mom helped me rake leaves, mow the grass and clean out the flower beds while Mandy watched Maddie. And of course we had to get some pictures of the munchkin in the leaves!

The next facial expression looks exactly like Tom... sorry dear.

I love this little coat. When did my shopping sprees change from buying clothes for me to trips to Babies 'R Us?

Tom had to take Lenny to get his stitches out (in Philly) on Saturday. I swear Lenny is the miracle dog - thanks to this surgery, he acts younger than Zoey! After we took these pictures of Maddie, he thought the pile of leaves was for him, so he started stomping through them and peeing all over it. And then I had to bag them all up. Nice... thanks Len!

Sleeping Angel

Babies are so adorable when sleeping. She's putting on some weight - notice the wrist rolls forming! At her 4 month checkup about 2 weeks ago she was 14 lbs 8 oz. Length was 25 1/2 inches. She even got a shot without making a peep! Getting to be such a big girl.

Maddie Waking Up

She is just too cute! She is pretty much the happiest baby ever... despite being hungry and soaked after a 9 hour sleep, she is still smiling and laughing! Have no idea where she got this from... maybe the mailman b/c it certainly isn't Tom or me!
