"O"s and peas

Madeline slept for seven hours straight last night! So she was full of even more energy than usual this morning. Shortly after this picture was taken, she began banging on the clock radio.

She had an excellent day all around, but seemed especially to enjoy her meals.

Mmm, "o"s.

Then breakfast suddenly gave way to dinner and the "o"s morphed into mushy peas -- also a big hit.

No picture

Sorry!

Here are some tidbits about today:

Last night, Madeline had her best night's sleep in a long time -- she slept from 7:45-12:00 and 12:15-5:00 (and then 5:15 to 6:45 or so).

Also last night I made applesauce from the apples we picked over the weekend, put some through a strainer for her, and took a small container in to daycare for her this morning. Apparently she loved it!

The rest of her day at daycare was good, too.

This evening we left her with Kristin and went out for a nice dinner (after a stop at the library). They had fun together and read lots of books. When we came home, we played for a bit and then Madeline dropped off to sleep in no time.

After a very rough night ...

... talkative Madeline had a very happy day.
