adventures in being 16 weeks old

i did a better job of getting the camera out this week to make up for my poor performance last week. our poor second child will never get this many pictures taken of them.
i haven't put her in a nightgown in a while and forgot that it's hard to wear a nightgown fashionably and sit in a carseat.

but it's not hard to be fashionable and strike a pose when you're sleeping in a onesie.

i'm not sure exactly what is happening in this picture because randy took it. it appears to be some sort of face off between madeleine and her stuffed lion toy. a fight to the death? perhaps. who knows what goes on while i'm not home.

i have a confession: sometimes i take pictures of madeleine, not because she's engaged in any activity that is worth capturing in time, nor is it because she's making a cute facial expression. it's just because she's wearing a cute outfit that i really like. this may be such a picture.

i love this picture because it kind of looks like she's pretending to sleep. she really was sleeping though, she just had this smirk on her face.

backlit? perhaps... but still cute.

this is madeleine's first time bowling. i tried to get the bowling balls in the back so that you could tell that it was bowling and not just her sitting in her car seat. she didn't like bowling too much. it was too loud for her, and her dad and i tried not to touch her the whole time because, although we are not usually germaphobes, let's face it, bowling alleys are not the most sanitary places in the world.

this is a frequent scene in madeleine's crib.

madeleine has gotten very good at standing up. with a little help from her parents, of course. this is an adorable dress that beth's mother-in-law gave us. it is 6 months. where did my little newborn go?
