|the days slip by|

matt asked me if i wanted to drop off madeline at daycare today, so i could go shopping (i have the day off). i couldn't do it. it seems like i don't have enough time to spend with her as it is... and even though i would love to get some free time, today wasn't the day.

so, matt took a half day, and the three of us went shopping together. of course, we bought her things. we can't resist. but there were great clearance sales at the baby clothing outlets, so she's set until her next big growth spurt. plus, she can't live in PJs/sleepers forever. it's about time we got her some real clothes. although, i must say that zippered and footed sleepers are terrific for little wee ones.

she has learned how to squeal, and she is practicing frequently. we call her "banshee baby" now. she was "wolf baby" when she was born because she would grunt and growl. and then she was the "vampire baby" because we never took her out to see the light of day, and she liked to suck on flesh. she has already led a very exciting life.

oh, and she's rolling. it's going to be time to babyproof soon!

i made her promise me that we would never fight.
