Elizabeth is Catching Up!

We finally went to the doctor today for our 9 month appointment, and our little Lizzy is catching up to Madeline! Elizabeth now weighs 16 pounds, 14 ounces, and Madeline still just a few ounces ahead at 17 pounds, 4 ounces. Big girls (though actually pretty small for their age, but they were early, so that's ok!)

Last week we had a visit from Grandma and Grandpa Carlson! Our daycare provider was on vacation, so Grandma was generous enough to come spend the week with the girls! (And Grandpa joined in the fun halfway through.)

The highlight of the trip was the girls first visit to Wrigley Field to see the Mets (our team, of course) play the Cubs! Thanks so much to the Flannerys for the great seats!

As is usual for our trips to Wrigley to see the Mets, the Cubs won. It was a cloudy afternoon (which had been preceded by three days of rain), but that actually ended up in our favor - for a late August afternoon, it was only in the low 70s, so very pleasant!

When going to the games, it always helps to know the folks operating the signs, so you can have your name in lights! (Gary and I were up there too, but we missed getting a picture of it... oops!)





Also when going to the games, it helps to bring small cute babies to get yourself on TV!



That there at the end is one VERY tired Madeline. Elizabeth took a short nap in my arms during the first few innings, but Madeline wouldn't sleep at all. Poor thing was exhausted by the end of the game.
