Madalyn is down for her midday nap, so I thought I would take the time to do a little blogging. I don't think I've posted anything since she's been born!
She turned one month old last Friday and over the weekend she has begun to grace us with genuine smiles! She gets all excited and then gives a big smile that has a nice little cooing sound that goes along with it. The first time she gave me one she made me cry because it was just the most gorgeous thing I had ever seen! She loves giving smiles to Chris when he talks to her in funny voices. She's still quite the night owl, but getting a bit better.
In other news, Scout, Madalyn and I went for our daily walk yesterday (Chris was at home watching Sunday football)and we came across a group of deer. We were walking down the sidewalk and this deer came out of the bushes. She stood there looking at us, so we stopped and looked back. Then I thought, "Deer are harmless, right? I can walk towards it and past it." So I started walking towards it, and then it started to walk towards me, which made me think hat wasn't such a good idea. So we turned to walk back the way we had come and then the deer ran across the road. Two more deer jumped across the road after the first, and we then continued on our normal route. Scout was very interested in the deer. I'd love to know what she thinks of them. Does she think they are really big dogs, or other animals? It would be so interesting to get inside their heads and see what goes on in there.
Madalyn is starting to wake up, so that's my cue to sign off!
