Big Girl Clothes


Jeff and I have been noticing Madeline getting bigger and bigger every day. It really does seem that there is a marked difference between morning and evening. When I dressed her for the baby shower a week and a half ago I thought she had grown enough for me to try a newborn size dress... I was sadly mistaken, it hung like a potato sack. Today we tried a newborn outfit that was given to her by our friend Jenny on the day she was born and it fits perfectly! In the same breath we rejoice over her growth, the chubby cheeks, thighs, the little belly that is forming, and we mourn the passing of the beginning phase... our sweet little baby girl is growing up already and we are trying to cherish every moment. Here is a picture of her very first "outfit", the rest have been sleep n plays (pajamas).



Our dogs are somewhat exasperating at times but are also hours of entertainment. They are constantly in competition, what one has the other wants (i.e. food, rawhides, toys, socks and, the important one, beds). We have a large dog bed for Ruger, bought mainly because we allow Otis on the couches but not Ruger due to their sizes. A daily occurrence lately has been our little 8 lb dog steeling the big dog bed from our 50 lb puppy... causing no end of distress for our big puppy. In an attempt to alleviate this stress we bought a small bed for our small dog. Immediately upon bringing it home what you see below is what happened... always wanting what the other has :)

So glad Madeline is growing and doing so well! The dog bed picture is great. They sound just like siblings.

That picture of the dogs is great. And as always, Maddie melts my heart.
