Madeline's Big Week

Madeline started at the babysitters this week. So far she just sleeps while she's there and eats too. She is getting HUGE! I think she weighs about 2 pounds more this week than she did last week at her doctor's appointment. I had to change over her closet and put away the clothes that are 0-3 months and get out the bigger sizes. Today she wore an outfit that is 3-6 months and it fit her perfectly. Our little girl is getting so many rolls and filling out quite nicely. When we were at the doctors last week they said her height and weight put her in the 75th percentile and her head size was in the 25th. That got me to thinking..... a lot of babies do have big heads and since Maddy's isn't that is the reason hats in her size aren't fitting. Oh well, I love the size of her head and think it's quite perfect, which isn't a surprise because she is entirely perfect in every way.


These boots were made for walking :)


Mommy and Daddy love her double chin :)

God Bless you Madeline!!

This past weekend was Madeline's baptism. She wore a beautiful white dress that we hope to keep and pass down to future generations and a cute little bonnet given to her from Grandma Sandy's friend Pat. She was so peaceful during the ceremony and only got upset when pictures were taking a bit longer than she would have liked outside the church afterwards. Aunt Leigh and Aunt Megan did great at the ceremony and Madeline is a very lucky girl to have them as Godmothers. After the church service everyone came back to our apartment to have a BBQ and then the boys went golfing and the girls had a makeover. It was a great day.





Since it has been so warm out Maddy has been enjoying pool time. She has gotten many stares and remarks from little children as to why she isn't wearing a top. One child said "Oh, no top, must be a boy". This is quite amusing to me and I refuse to give in to societal pressures and put a top on her. She enjoys being partially naked and she is a little girl for heaven's sake.

Madeline's No Hitter!

On Tuesday June 12th Madeline, her mom and her Nana Linda experienced a once in a lifetime moment of watching Justin Verlander of the Detroit Tigers pitch a no hitter against the Milwaukee Brewers. It was an incredible moment. Madeline stayed awake for the majority of the game and cheered on her Tigers with the rest of us bleacher creechers. She has been spending the week playing with her Nana Linda and now her Grandpa and Grandma Bonsall while mommy has now went back to work. She attended the Wednesday night Tigers game with all the Bonsall's and unfortunately her winning streak was broken. Up until now every sporting event she has attended the home team has won. According to uncle Scott and Grandpa Dave though her winning streak has continued because they were rooting for the the Brewers. Those funny yoopers like all those Wisconsin teams:)

Kickball Anyone?????



So lastnight was Madeline's very first kickball game. She had a lot of fun watching mommy and daddy's team totally kick butt. We mercied the team we played in both games and are ready for next week. Daddy was totally MVP of the game getting almost all the kickers out all by himself and kicking a homerun and mommy didn't do too shabby pitching. Madeline can't wait till next week. Check out teammate Tim's website for pictures and soon to be player profiles at www.timfinkel.blogspot.com.

This morning Madeline did some grocery shopping and then went to the driving range to hit some golf balls. She is looking forward to this week when she gets to spend Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday with Nana Linda and then the rest of the week with Grandpa and Grandma Bonsall and uncle Scott. Madeline has her baptism on Saturday and then her first Father's day with daddy. We will update the blog more then. Have a Great Week!

It's a Lazy Rainy sunday :(

I apologize for not updating the blog in quite awhile. I know all of you are going through Maddy withdraws.

For Memorial weekend Madeline made her very first trip to the Upper Peninsula to visit Grandpa and Grandma Bonsall and to see the rest of her extended family she hadn't met yet. The car ride although long was very pleasant due to her sleeping the entire way. We left for the U.P. on Friday morning bright and early and got to go see Grandpa Dave at NMU and then to see Uncle Scott's new apartment. Then Madeline got to stay all by herself with Grandpa Dave and Grandma Sandy while mommy and daddy went out for a few hours. Saturday was the big BBQ where Madeline met lots and lots of people. Too many to name here. She met friends of Grandma and Grandpas', extended family, friends daddy grew up with and so on. She was passed around from one person to the next all day and was told many times how beautiful she is. Of course we all already knew that:) All in all her first trip to Marquette was a blast and she can't wait to make it back up there in July:)

Yesterday Maddy got to go to Breckenridge where mommy grew up to a special friend Dani Raye's open house. She got to meet mommy's lifelong friends the McClintics and unfortunately mommy forgot to take pictures so there are none to post. We will most definitely see them again soon so we will get some then.

Today has been spent laying around and being lazy since it's thundering and raining out. Madeline hasn't seemed to mind and it's been nice for mommy and daddy to catch up on some sleep.

Hard to believe Madeline will be 7 weeks old this Tuesday. This will be the last full week I will be home with her and then back to work for mommy. Not looking forward to leaving Maddy but kinda excited to head back to work.

...... tried to upload photos but the blog site wasn't working, i will keep trying. Sorry:(
