Back To The Routine

And we're back! As I told you previously our computer broke. We just bought a new one last Saturday. We settled on a PC. A Mac was tempting, but we have heard that they often have issues, and we have had experience with Macs breaking down. I just couldn't risk it. One day I will get my long awaited Mac computer.

The holidays are over. I am sad that I didn't get a chance to post pictures. (Posting Christmas pictures now is tempting, but I think it is a little late.) The holidays were fantastic to say the least.

We are back in our routine. Spencer goes to work, I feed "M", change her diaper, put her down for naps and try hard to get her to laugh. When Spence gets home from work he also tries hard to get her to laugh. We succeed if she is not tired. (I will have to post some of the footage of her laughing. It really is one of my favorite things in the world. We have gone to extreme lengths to get a good hearty laugh out of our little girl. I would tell you our tricks, but it is just too embarrassing.)

I took the following picture of her the other morning. I wanted a picture of her in these cow PJs. You know how you just have favorite outfits that your kids wear? These cow jammies are my favorite jammies so far. Take a look.

Now tell me those aren't cute.

Yes, our little girls is still the squishiest squisher, and very proportionate. She was in the mid 90th percentile on all her measurements at her 2 month appointment and hasn't disappointed us yet.


As you can see, she is sitting up. She rolls over and can rock on her knees. She has started eating solid foods, which is going really well.

For some reason I find tremendous joy in feeding my daughter her vegetables. I guess it makes me feel like I am helping her to be "strong and healthy". I get so proud every time she finishes a jar of green beans or sweet potatoes. Oh the simple joys of motherhood.

Now, if we could just get her to sleep through the night.

I was SO glad to read your cute statement about feeding Maddie her veggies! What a sweet mother you are; indeed, the simple joys of motherhood are countless. That Maddie is surely darling, bright-eyed and obviously much-loved. We love her in the pink coat. Enjoy catching your blog once in a while. Love to all 3 of you from Tony and Judy Gundersen (Montreal Mission Office)

Lynns-
She is the cutest little thing. Love those pajama's. Good luck with the nighttime thing. I finally had to let Kylan cry a couple of nights. It worked great. He sleeps now.

Hey Lynns,

I think the 'header' picture of you and Maddi turned out pretty fine. She is a dolly in moo-j's but my vote is for her in her candy-cane striped flap-jams - but then who am I :).

Give our girl a squench from me no matter what she's wearing.

Love, Mom

What a little cutie! I am with you on the favorite outfits! Its just too bad they have blow outs and spit ups- a couple of hours in a cute outfit is not quite long enough :) But I sure love playing dress up. Aren't girls fun!!
