300 days and counting.

You know how they say that time flies when you're having fun? Well it's truer than you could know.

Baby M at 3 days.
Baby M at around 300 days.
Madeleine spends some quality time with her Pa(w).
Learning to crawl, could walking be far behind?
Nice shirt Madeleine!!!!!!
I've had enough of winter, but if it means that I get to see Madeleine with some more sweet tuques, I'll endure.
Look out Madeleine, that madman is trying to eat you!
Oh wait. Hang on. That's no cannibal, it's he-of-few-words Neil, together with la belle Ms Lewis. Yoo-hoo, Madeleine camera's this way!

Lots of pictures, few words.

Hello there loyal dog blog readers. In spite of my recently acquired ear injury, I soldier on!
Lost is coming on right now, so no witty narratives today but enjoy these shots taken with the new camera.

New Hobby!

Well we all know that balls and sticks are meant to be chased and chewed, but humans have found what they think is another productive use for them: something called bowling. The premise I gather is that you throw the ball at the sticks in an effort to knock them over. This is apparently fun. Anyway, Baby M thought she would give it a go.
Here is Madeleine pondering her next shot.
I guess bowling with your family can be kind of fun, if it's done only once in a blue moon. Here's the official team photo.

New Camera!

So the camera that I ordered for Christmas finally arrived. My Momma always said if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. Well let's just say that I won't be saying much about Future Shop On-line.
So check out the fade portrait feature the new SLR can do! Cause I'm good looking no matter what, I volunteered to go in the background for this one.
But the most wonderful thing about Madeleine, is she's the only one.
Man alive is this one sweet.

On Saturday for the first time in a long, long time the weather was actually decent. No rain, snow, fog. Just beautiful sun. I took advantage and gave the ol' college try at an artistic photograph. What do you think?
Is this cute or what?
This one ought to be a postcard!
Not too sure about Dad in the SLR high definition. At least the sunglasses hide his wrinkles!
Man's best friend!
To sniff, or not to sniff. That is the question.
Babes!

Blue eyes
Baby's got blue eyes
Like a clear blue sky
Watching over me
Blue eyes
I love blue eyes
When I'm by her side
Where I long to be
I will see

Blue eyes laughing in the sun
Laughing in the rain
Baby's got blue eyes
And I am home, and I am home again.

10 Months and Counting.

Madeleine blows out the candles on her delicious 10 month birthday cake, with a wee bit of help from her mother. Pa(w) and Nana with Baby M.

Stop the press! I can see the headline now, "Fantastic Basset Hound Catches Man Growing One Foot in One Second on Film!" Pulitzer here I come!
How strange, I never got presents at monthly intervals. What gives?
Madeleine shows off her birthday outfit.
Madeleine with her Mom.
Madeleine with her Dad.
Madeleine with Opa and Grandma.
With Opa.
Although it may be unwise to overload my loyal viewers with ANOTHER cute Madeleine outfit. This trio of pictures was simply just too sweet not to post, so enjoy!
