School Pictures

Maelin had picture day the other week. The teachers schlepped all the babies to the school gym and each one posed for individual pictures, followed by a class picture.  Maelin of course had a blow out in her cute dress so wore a spare outfit that we carry in the diaper bag.  Also, I just want to point out that the white shirt is cotton....the glimmer on the pics below must be from the quality of my scanner......she does not own metallic clothes :)

When we got the proofs back, Brett and I laughed uncontrollably, first, school pictures have not been updated since we were in grade school and the background settings are all still the same.  Second, Maelin's facial expression made us laugh even harder.  We like to believe she is thinking "are you kidding me right now?" The best picture of the bunch is Maelin and the Tree....no seven month old plays in the woods and pops out behind a tree!  We did not order any, we figured the proof sheet was enough.  In fact, these were such a hit at the school, one teacher even has Maelin and the Tree as her screen saver, it makes her laugh every morning she turns the computer on.

Sloth like baby

As most of you know, Maelin is often called buggy.....however, I'm beginning to think that sloth may be more appropriate.  We are fast approaching the seven month mark and she has rolled over only twice.  Though she is not moving, she does lots of other things very well, such as eating, drooling, sleeping, blabbing, grabbing, throwing, sitting, reaching, laughing and crying.  We have been terrible picture takers lately, so thank goodness daycare documents Maelin's days fairly well.

 A mess after painting....not sure she got any paint on the paper and there is no denying the girl loves to eat

Fire Safety Week 

Last weekend we ditched the baby and headed up to Wisconsin for the Badger/Nebraska game.....lots of fun catching up with old friends and roommates.  We pulled off an awesome win against Nebraska and followed up on Sunday with a Packer win.
