Little Talker

Madi loves to talk! And we all know who she gets that from...Daddy! ;-)

Here she is talking up a storm to her favorite guy in the world. And then she gets too excited and gives herself the hiccups. She likes to do that a couple times a day.

Here she is chatting it up with Mommy!

Saturday Lunch

We snuck out this weekend for a bite to eat. This little cutie woke up before our food came and wanted her own lunch!

I decided to embrace the European culture and fed her in public...no nursing cover, barely a burp cloth, and no pillow. She did pretty good too!

The whole time though I felt like I was doing something wrong... I kept looking around to see if the police were about to jump out and give me a ticket (which would never happen) or to see if someone was giving me the stink eye (which also didn't happen- no one batted an eye or seemed to even notice/care).

I'm still not sure where I stand on nursing in public, but I sure wasn't going to make Madi wait just because I was shy. And afterwards she was great company!

More Grandma and Grandpa Visits!

This past week Madi got to meet another set of grandparents! My dad and his wife Mary flew out to Norway to help us around the house and meet their first granddaughter.

They arrived late in the evening so the initial meeting wasn't until the following day in pajamas. :-)

We took them to our favorite places around Stavanger like the butcher and the farmer's market and our favorite Norwegian restaurant Skagen. They also got to attend church with us where Madi was an angel (for the third week in a row!) and slept the entire service.
