Festivus

Here's the best of my many attempts to capture little Mad with our decorated Christmas tree (I'm holding her in my arms, which is what makes it so difficult...) We are excited to host my parents (Opa and Nana/Babka) for the holidays this year--I'm sure her first Christmas will be plenty memorable for all of us, even though it probably won't be for her!

Serenaded by Daddy

Daddy took an opportunity the other night to play a song for Madeleine, who used his guitar case for a bassinet! Quite cute. Daddy loves playing songs for her, and she seems to really like it also.


The light coming in the window yesterday was just lovely, and I took the opportunity to take some shots of my new favorite subject--here's one of the best of the bunch.

Happy Birthday!

That's right, our little Madeleine is now officially one month old!

We aren't doing anything to really celebrate, of course; we'll save that for the big 12-month festivities (cake is sort of wasted on her at this point anyway).

Here she is, in all her cutely glory, posing for her one-month portrait!
