Sorry that it's been a month since we posted any pictures or updates. It's busy season for Eric, and when he's home, it's hard to post one-handed (with Maddie in the other!). Madeline, "Peanut" as we often call her, is doing great. At her January checkup she was in the 75th percentile for weight and 90th percentile for length. Lisa is a great mother, and really cherishes her time with her daughter.
If you happened to miss it, I posted baptism pictures on my last posting. Check the sidebar for the previous entry!
Here are a couple of pictures to catch up on:
Eric's high school friend Karn knitted this hat (and 8 others!!) last year as baby presents. It goes well with our little strawberry.
January 13 was our 2nd wedding anniversary. We had a nice dinner at Kincaid's while Madeline stayed with Godmother Judy.
"Big Sister" Bailey says she's not getting enough attention, so this one's for her!

Lisa and her mother took Maddie to see her Great Grandma Blommell.

Ain't I a cutie???
On January 19, we baptized Madeline at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Osseo, MN. This is the same church at which we were married. Maddie was very peaceful and quiet for the whole ceremony- even when the water was poured over her head. All four grandparents were able to attend, as well as her Godparents, John & Judy Schulte, Lisa's brother Gregg, and neices Erika and Kristin Schulte. Here are a few photos from the event:
