12 Days of Christmas Photos: Day 10


I'm no Grinch!

Baby's First Tailgate


Madeline went to her first football tailgate yesterday, as Daddy's Wake Forest Demon Deacons prepared to take on the Midshipmen of the Naval Academy at the Eagle Bank Bowl at RFK Stadium.
A difference from Aggie games was that she was the only baby in attendance. However, Aggie babies were left to wonder, was Texas A&M even bowl-eligible this year? Is Madeline going to live a life of Wake Forest football games and Aggies making it to March Madness?

My first visit to KD!

Today I went on my first visit to the Kappa Delta house at the University of Maryland. Everybody said I was very cute and well-behaved. Obviously those KDs are great judges of babies! I am looking forward to rush in 2026! Here is a picture with Nikki, one of my Kappa Delta friends.

Happy Birthday Calla!




Today my friend Calla was born in Dallas. Her blog is here. I'm sure she will be making her own posts soon!
We have a lot in common. For example, we have the same taste in clothes. She has the same outfit that I am wearing in this photo, because her Mommy bought them for both of us. My Mommy bought some matching clothes for us, too.

Happy Thanksgiving!



Today was my first Thanksgiving and it was AWESOME! My Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Tommy came over for dinner and we ALL ate food -- even me! I ate some rice cereal and sweet potatoes. Mommy and Daddy have been holding out on me. Food is so delicious! Mommy tried to feed me with the spoon, but I'm pretty sure I can do it myself. After dinner, I was so stuffed that I took a long nap. Then when I woke up, Mommy brushed my teeth for the first time. I'm pretty sure I can do that myself, too.

Best pictures from Halloween

For her first trick-or-treating, we took Madeline to the Halloween parade in the Fredleys' neighborhood. This is actually my 3rd Halloween parade, and I guess technically Madeline's 2nd, since she was in my tummy at the parade last year. The Korn family also joined in the fun, and between the 3 families, there were 2 3-year-olds and 2 little babies, or a ladybug, NASCAR driver, horse, and bunny.
Madeline slept through some of the parade, then woke up a little confused about why we were taking a walk in the dark. When we got back to the Fredley's house to hand out some candy and have some grown-up treats, she was back to her usual happy baby self.

I am 23 weeks old!



I am now 23 weeks old! It has taken me some time to get this up because Mommy has been sick, so I have been taking care of her when we get home at the end of the day.

I am excited because tomorrow is Halloween! I get to wear a snuggly bunny costume and be in a parade!

Madeline is 22 weeks old!



Madeline is 22 weeks old and such a big girl!


She is very engaged in her world. She enjoys interacting with us and her toys. Madeline is fascinated by pictures of animals and babies.


The baby books say she should be making ma and ga sounds by now, but she would rather shreik. It must be because she has such an exciting life!

Madeline is 20 weeks old!





















Madeline is now 20 weeks old! She laughs and smiles and today when she sneezed, we said, "God bless you!" and I could swear she said "Thank you!" afterwords. Naturally, she is very well mannered!

Madeline showed us a trick she learned on her first day at daycare: sticking out her tongue and blowing out, trying to flutter it at us, to some success!

She still loves playing on her Gymini and of course thinks her parents are hilarious ... obviously she has a highly advanced sense of humor.
