Stuck in the Airport

We missed our flight back to Chicago...I do not want to talk about it. So here we are hanging out on the floor in the Denver airport.

In Denver

We arrived to Denver safe and sound, and a litte sleepy.

Chatty

Monday Fun-day

Today is President's Day and Romeo spent it home with M. They played all day, but Rome tells me she was still a little out of sorts from her shots. Here she is eying him suspiciously as he takes photos for the blog:

Later in the afternoon, Grandma and Grandpa Hereau came over to play, and took all of us out to dinner at Bricks. I should have brought the camera and taken photos--we had so much fun. Next time I guess, though we are running out of chances to do all of our favorite Chicago things.

A Visit with Nannie

We had a busy weekend, beginning with the arrival of Grandma and Grandpa Schmieder on Friday. They came to Chicago with a car full of empty boxes and packing supplies so we can start packing up our apartment. But we did not start packing yet--instead we spent the weekend visiting and spending time in North Riverside visiting Nannie. Here they are chatting:

After a nice lunch at the Scottish Home, M took a nap in Nannie's arms. 

It was a great visit, and we hope to make it back there again before our move to Denver. 

14.6 lbs, 25.5 inches

We had M's 4-month check up today, and she has almost doubled her birth weight and grown 5 inches in that short period of time. Even though she also had a round of immunizations at this appointment, here she is playing with Romeo this afternoon:

We are so lucky to have such a happy, healthy baby. 

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

It was in the 50's today here in Chicago, a surprising February treat. I took M for a walk to the conservatory, the zoo and the park. As you can see from the photo, she loved being outside.

New Tricks

We took these photos a few days ago. M started putting her feet in her mouth every chance she could, and I wanted to catch it on camera. Here she goes, caught in the act: 

She also can sit up, although not without assistance. Here Romeo is helping her sit: 

And here she is trying to stay up. 

Books and Belly

We try to read books to M each day, but she prefers to chew rather than turn the pages. I suppose this is typical. Here she is today with her little library behind her. 

She is just in her diaper because she likes to roll from her back to belly on her changing table. So, after I change her diaper, I set her on the floor to put on her clothes. And then she rolls away from me :)  

Happy Valentine's Day!
