It's been a fun past few weeks. We're feeling slightly more settled (still not fully unpacked), but are trying to enjoy our time here before the weather gets too cold to do much else. I'm guessing we'll have plenty of time to complete the unpacking, hanging of pictures on the walls, and organizing once the temperature drops and the snow starts flying.
Mike and Maude started their ECFE class last week. It looked like Mike was the lone dad in the bunch, but the teacher called him this week to let him know a dad had joined their group. It doesn't sound like they've hung out or bonded or anything like that yet, but I think Mike is glad to not be the only dad there!
The week before last, we went with a group of five couples to the Pizza Farm in Wisconsin. The farm grows almost all the ingredients for the pizzas right there. We set up a huge picnic area, ordered lots of different pizzas and had an amazing time. There were two other babies and a two year old so Maude loved having others there close to her size.
Yesterday we went to an apple orchard and a pumpkin patch. I'm not sure Maude thought it was as fun as we did, but we loved showing her all the apples, pumpkins and other squashes. She found a few that were just her size. We also got lots of cute pictures!
In other news, Maude is really into clapping and is just starting to figure out waving. The first time we noticed her waving was to the nurse that had just given her two shots. I think she was waving goodbye, letting her know she'd had enough of her. Her appointment went well. She's now in the 50th percentile for height, weight, and head size. She's 17lbs, 1oz and 26 inches long. I think she also picked up a cold while at the doctor's office. It's her first real cold and I hate watching her struggle to breath. Poor gal. She's handling it fairly well and I hope it's short lived.
Enjoy the photos from the past few weeks. As I look at them and compare to photos from just a few months ago, I'm amazed at how much she's changed.
