fall is here in wisconsin. we are going to a nature preserve today to view the fall colors before they all fall from the trees - hopefully we will get some good pictures of the leaves. i had my first glimpse at what the challenges of warm clothes are going to be with a very young child yesterday. it was around 55 and very windy so i thought that i should bundle maddie up a little bit before we went out to the mall. can i just say that baby jeans are very difficult to get on busy little legs! whoever thought that elastic just in the back
and a little snap in the front would give you enough room to pull them over a diaper underestimated things a bit - and maddie isn't even that big around! and after that i got to wrestle her into a cotton cardigan. she did look really cute though! but i think having to get her into layers everyday is definitely going to present its own challenges. especially when you think about how long our winters are up here. people had told me that i wouldn't need a coat for her until she out grew her carrier, but her feet are already at the very end of it, if not hanging over, so i feel the need to carry her in it as little as possible. plus, she really likes being able to sit upright in her stroller and look around when we are out and about.maddie and i went to the mall so that we could go back to jcp for another attempt at pictures. and it was like night and day from our first experience! there were so many great shots and they really posed her cute with her toys. i was really happy and will post some of the proofs once i get them in about a week or so. i was just so relieved to have a better experience - it gives me
optimism about future photo sessions.sids risks are so stressed on every single baby bedding product and in every book that you can't help but be paranoid about it. however, i finally decided to put her bumper back on her crib after walking in on her straddling a crib bar while laying on her stomach. i am still not really sure
how she managed to get herself into that position...now that the bumper is on, she came up with a new trick...getting one leg of her pjs unsnapped so that she can suck on her toes. now, i really can't figure out how she does that one!
love to you all.

That crib picture is the best!
I second Becky's motion! What a shot for the baby book! Does Maddie love her bumbo? Lorelai sure did. She still uses it, but now she's trying to perfect getting out of it, so I have to keep my eye on her. Good luck with the layers... one thing I won't miss down here. Although, I am envious you get to see leaves change. She's such a cutie!!!
