Welcome to the World
My dear friend Cori welcomed a precious baby boy, Brady Matthew, to the world yesterday. He is a big boy weighing 8 lbs 14 oz and 21 inches long. We can already tell that he has Cori's nose :) I feel so lucky to have been a part of his birth. Congratulations Cori and Happy Birthday Brady!!

Newest Pilot on the Block
I think Madeline should be the San Diego Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association's official mascot. What do you guys think?

An Update
I can't believe how fast the last 8 weeks have flown by. Things here have been going really well as Erik and I are settling into our new role as parents and we are starting to get into a routine. I am getting used to being a SAHM, which I can now officially say is the hardest and most rewaring job in the world. I have a new respect for my parents, for all parents really. Being at home with Madeline is wonderful and I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to be able to be home with her. And it sure has made life more interesting. Just going to the grocery store is an adventure with a little one.
Madeline is now 8 weeks and has grown and changed so much. She is becoming so alert and loves to give her mom and dad these funny gummy smiles. It's amazing to watch her becoming so aware of the world around her. Even after the hardest day, when she gives me one of her smiles it just melts my heart. At her one month check-up she weighed 10lbs 3oz and was 22 inches long. At 6 weeks she was 11lbs 8oz! She is already fitting into 3-6 month clothes. I have a big healthy girl with the chunkiest thighs in the world :)
We have been working for 4 weeks now to get Madeline to consistently take a bottle. She is a finicky little girl and has wanted her meals straight from the tap. Smarty pants! Well thanks to my wonderful, persistent, patient husband Madeline is now taking a bottle every time without fussing. I see a glimmer of freedom, or at least a night off, right around the corner. Yay!
Maeline has also amazingly enough been sleeping 7-8 hours every night for the last two weeks. Can you even imagine how excited Erik and I are!?! She goes to sleep around 10pm and wakes around 6am. She does really great at night although she doesn't really like to be put down for naps during the day. But we're working on it.
In other news, I starting running again last week. Man, has that been hard! I'm not used to being so out of shape. Seriously, my first run was the second hardest run of my life. The first hardest was the marathon I ran. It's a bit depressing but I'll get back to where I was. I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight but it'll take awhile to back to where I was physically.
Erik has been competing in a paragliding competition called the So-Cal XC league. There is one more week of the competition this year and so far Erik is in 2nd place overall, and 1st place in his division! Way to go Erik!!! We are going to drive up to Santa Barbara next week for the last weekend of the comp and Madeline and I are going to cheer for Dad. Hopefully next year Erik and I will both be competing.
