Random Ramblings

Madigan has discovered the joy of her hands. She loves to suck on her fists, thumbs, fingers, etc. One evening Christopher was giving her her evening bottle and she managed to get the nipple and her pinkie into her mouth. Christopher removed the bottle and Madigan contined to suck on her pinkie. She got upset when nothing came out of her pinkie.

One night Madigan decide to stay up past her bedtime. Kirsten laid her in her crib and turned on her music. Kirsten went to bed. While laying in bed Kirsten could hear Madigan babbling and carrying on in her crib. This was soon joined by a thunking noise. After a few minutes of hearing this thunking noise Kirsten got up to investigate. Madigan derives great pleasure from lifting her feet straight up in the air and letting them fall back onto the mattress, thus the thunking noise. She would do this and then laugh, over and over again. Kirsten went back to bed and shortly after that Madigan fell asleep too.

Kirsten and Christopher went to a car seat clinic sponsored by the Beaverton Police Department. They got a gold star for correctly installing the car seat - well, Kirsten did because Christopher only checked her work. Afterwards they went to Village Inn for breakfast. Madigan was sitting on Christopher's knee being bounced. She loves this. Her pacifier came out and before Christopher could put it back she decided his thumb was good for sucking on too. Kirsten got a couple of pictures on her cell phone. The sight made Christopher and Kirsten laugh very hard.
