Since returning from Detroit, Joseph and I got colds that we are still trying to shake. Luckily Madeline managed to only get a small cold that lasted a few days, and Joe hasn't been hit at all. We had planned on watching Mason when Ashley and Mikael were in town the first weekend of December, but since both Joseph and I were not feeling well, the visit was cut a bit short.
First, just a few pictures of Maddie hanging out in the high chair. She really seems to enjoy this vantage point when I'm cooking and/or while Joseph is eating at the table. Lately she's starting to pay more attention to us while we're eating, so I think she's going to be ready to start cereal very soon!
As a neglected second kid, Madeline doesn't get to spend too much time on the playmat or on the floor doing tummy time. Thus, she still hasn't rolled over on her own yet (if she's on our bed she flips over almost instantly since she gets a little help from the "ruts" in the mattress...). When Ashley and Mikael were visiting, they pulled out the playmat constantly for Mason, and it made me realize I need to do a much better job of getting Maddie on it daily! It's just a bit challenging between watching Molly and, more importantly, Joseph, and trying to keep the house running.
Mikael gave the kids pony rides, which Madeline loved!
Joseph showing off his giant stocking that Santa gets to fill! My mom is still in the process of making one for Madeline, since she had two grandkids show up in the same year. So next Christmas we'll have the two massive stockings flanking Joe and my more modest sized ones!
Ashley's great at trying to get pictures of all three kids whenever they are together. Usually Mason is super smiley, but during this visit he was much more contemplative and serious. I love that Madeline was the one cracking grins during these photos!
For reference, Madeline was 12 weeks old here, and Mason was 22 weeks old.
