Look who's 8 months!

My little cupcake is 8 months!  Each month Madeline gets more and more fun to play with.  Her new thing is playing peek-a-boo (melts my heart!) and pulling herself up on everything.  She has done very well adjusting to having different people with her during the day when I'm at work.  With that said, she's very clingy with her mommy, and daddy comments on that constantly.  Maddy still isn't crazy about eating, and in fact often doesn't take a lick of lunch.  We just introduced her to cheerios, and that went surprisingly well. We try to introduce her to new tastes and textures as much as possible.  However, she just likes her Gerber organic banana raspberry oatmeal blend...and that's about it!

Peek-a-boo!!!

End of Summer Vacay

Here are some ways the family has been spending the last days of summer...as we all begin preparing for fall.

Soaking up the last of the summer sunshine

Baking and sharing pies after taking classes with Zingermans cooking school in Ann Arbor

Creating artwork for the kitchen hallway

And of course back to school shopping is a must...brown boots are a fall essential

Bye-bye summer!



I should mention today is labor day and we are home from a chilly (but always fun) weekend up north.  We have been inside all day baking pies and trying to stay warm.  Chili is currently on the stove and school starts tomorrow.  Fall is here?!?!
