Oh Joy!

Today, Madeleine's umbilical cord finally fell off. I was most attracted to the overwhelming odour it emitted, but my parents are grateful that it is gone. They weren't such fans of the smell. At 11 days, Madeleine has enjoyed several walks to Steveston, a ride on a bus, brunch at Joe's Grill (Mom and Dad's favourite and my source for bacon), and a Kathy's baby shower. I am very impressed. Here are some photos from the past day or so.


As you can see Madeleine is already a hat model. She received two very cute ones as gifts today. If you check out the side panel of my blog, you will see that she is taking to hats just like her big brother. She is putting up some real competition, but I still think I am cuter in my cowboy hat.
