big fistful of hair

maddie has discovered that she can keep me where she wants me...by my hair! i was playing with her on the floor trying to capture her laugh on video, but it wasn't working so i turned off the camera and set it down. then she grabbed a big fistful of my hair. when i turned the camera back on she turned her face to see what made the noise and that's how i got this shot. considering that i couldn't lift my head very high and i was just holding the camera out, i was pretty impressed that i managed to get both of our faces in the frame!


we picked matt up this morning at the airport and unfortunately maddie fell asleep before we got there. but who could blame her since a typically 20 minute drive turned into an hour thanks to the rain and traffic. i was disappointed because i really wanted to meet him at the gate and i know that he was looking forward to seeing madelyn. when she was awake (for the first 40 minutes of our trek to the airport) she was really fascinated by the rain and kept looking around as it hit the windows.

after we got home, matt only had about 10 minutes to play with maddie before he had to get ready and leave for work. this picture is maddie being a couch potato while waiting for daddy to get home from work tonight. she was sitting up and laughing at me while i snapped off pictures, but i liked this one best because she is over the whole sitting up and being photographed thing...

once matt got home, maddie was really ready to eat and go to bed so matt kept her distracted while i heated up the milk for her bottle (matt feeds her nighttime bottle as part of her bedtime routine). his fingers must taste better than mine because he does a better job at playing pacifier than i do.

love.

Isn't it amazing the strength babies have in their fists? And it seems to hurt even more when they have just one or two hairs.
