Out and About

My winter suit is a little bit big, don't ya think?? But it does keep me toasty warm!

Here we are for my first stroller ride in the BOB! (Thanks, Grandma & Grandpa Behrens!!)

All that running really tires me out...

My Christmas Outfits!

Grandma Behrens took Mom shopping and they bought me the cutest outfits to wear during the holidays. Am I not adorable?!?! Here's just a few of the many! My favorite was the pretty dress. :)

Helping Daddy

Today Daddy helped Mommy clean the house. I decided to join in...sweeping's fun when I'm cuddled up next to Dad!

80 Degrees in December?

The weather has been REALLY warm here lately. So, Mom has taken me on a few walks around the neighborhood. I love riding in the stroller. I can't wait for my jogging stroller to arrive so we can go FAST...

New Toys

This weekend the men worked hard to put together my new swing. Apparently my toys have a lot of parts! And, I waited very patiently for it to be done!
Finally, it was done! I really enjoy swinging!

I also enjoy my new tummy time mats!!

Grandma & Grandpa Visit

Grandma & Grandpa Behrens arrived on Thursday and have been spoiling me ever since!

A Lazy Sunday...

Maddie Relaxing at Home

Our first night at home was rough, but you'd never know by looking at this peaceful child!

Maddie Goes Home

Announcing Madeline Marie Behrens!

After a long day of labor (13 hours!), Maddie finally made her way into the world at 7:51 pm on Tuesday, November 20th. She weighed in at 8 lbs. 5 oz. and measured 20 3/4 inches long.

Her head was a little cone-shaped and bruised, but otherwise she's a perfect little baby girl!

What a joy! We are so excited to have our little princess here with us!

Night Before Maddie's Arrival

We went to the Doctor on Monday and had a final appointment and ultrasound. According to the ultrasound, Maddie may weigh 8 lbs. 14 oz.!! So, Cherie is definitely going to be induced. If all goes according to plan, we will have Maddie on her due date of November 20th!

Here is Mom Behrens the night of November 19th...on the way to Presbyterian Hospital!

Mom Behrens

Here is a picture of Cherie, "Mom Behrens" at around 36 weeks. Maddie looks big! :)

Maddie's Nursery

Here are some pictures of Madeline's nursery. These photos don't do it justice, so you'll have to come see it in person to appreciate the wonderful job Dave did painting stripes!
