Human Pinball with Baba and Gigi

Here's Madeleine playing the part of human pinball between grandma and grandpa before deciding to make a mad dash for the (wrong) restroom. Thankfully grandma caught her just in time.

High Roller with FamDamily in Vegas

Here's Madeleine with the famdamily on our first day in Vegas.

Chuka Chuka

It comes out sounding like "Chuka Chuka Ani Shah" - but Madeleine loves serenading us with her version of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" whenever possible.


Hiking with Catbackpack

Much like her Aunt Sheree, Madeleine is into rocks. Lots and lots of rocks. She still struggles to classify the igneous versus metamorphic rocks - but at least she looks good with her new catbackpack.

Vegas, Baby, Vegas!!!

Spending the Thanksgiving weekend in Las Vegas with the G family and our high roller in a stroller.

It's actually a reasonably family friendly place - words I never thought I would use to describe Vegas - but it seems like every fourth person here is in a stroller (and not just due to old age!)






Checking out the view from the high roller suite at the Mandalay Bay resort. Madeleine loves staring out at the lights on the strip and has one of the best cribside views in town.






Hitting the town with our new cat backpack from Gigi (her name for Granny G) and Baba (her name for old dudes) Steve.





Riding a giant stone lizard at Red Rock Canyon.




Madeleine and Gigi




She loved holding hands with Gigi and Baba at the same time even while in the stroller.





To the tiger in the zoo Madeleine just said pooh-pooh. Ditto to the white tigers at the Siegfried and Roy Secret Garden at the Mirage.




Party girls hitting the town in Vegas

Animal Noises

What sound does an obnoxious dad with a video camera make?

(At the end of this clip, someone learns a valuable lesson about stubbing their toe on the door - as you can see from the facial expression)

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Took a few minutes but eventually we decided the slide would be fun.
