Hmmm, not what I thought my Thursday morning at work would look like...
Imogen was feeling a little under the weather today, so no day care for her, which meant no (or not much) work for dad. At least she wasn't feeling too bad, so I got some smiles.

6 Months Old!
Last Sunday, we decided to try new things, and have some fun, to celebrate Imogen's six month birthday. What better to do than put Imogen's high chair together and try eating rice cereal for the first time! Imogen liked her spoon.




After our solid food fun, we decided to go for a family hike at an old favorite, Eagle Creek. Check out the latest in hiking accessories - a baby on your chest!

Christmas 2010 - Part 3: Christmas Eve in Evanston
On Christmas Eve, Imogen met Aunties Annie and Katie, Great Aunt Julie, cousins Karl and Tracey and her second cousin Hannah Marie. Then she stayed up late for Christmas Eve dinner with Nana, John Papa, Aunt Emma and Uncle Anders.
Yea for Em and Anders, who are now affianced!

Imogen sure loves Auntie Emma.

Auntie Annie finally gets to snuggle Imogen.

Christmas 2010 - Part 2: Madison, the Athens of the Midwest (Basecamp for Hanna's family)
Next stop: Madison! Imogen met (Great!) Grandmother as well as the Houstons, Bauers and Jon and Tammy. Imogen also got to spend more quality time with Grandpa and Shiela.
Thank you to the Houstons for hosting dinner so that everyone could meet Imogen!

Everyone was very excited to meet Imogen, including Gracie the retriever! She even got the first smile ever out of Gracie's brother Gus.

The Matriarchy continues!

Imogen with her great aunt Ellen (who dreamed of Imogen 2 years ago, though her name in the dream was Michelle).
In the morning, we headed to Grandpa's. Imogen really likes music, and Grandpa plays the accordion - so it was a perfect match. Imogen loved hearing the songs Mom grew up singing in the bathtub, including her favorites: 16 Tons, Mama Tried, Kingston Town and Rickety Tickety Tin.

We had a wonderful time in Madison - Imogen got to meet so much family!!

Christmas 2010 (i.e. the Baby Road Show) - Part 1
We traveled to Chicago so that Imogen could spend her first Christmas with grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and other family. We wanted to introduce her to many people, so we had an ambitious schedule, which we dubbed the "Baby Road Show."
The first stop on the trip was to spend the night with Aunt Tina, Uncle Donald and cousins Annika, Peter and TJ, all of whom were very excited to meet Imogen!




The next morning, we got to enjoy some quality time just hanging out around the house...

Next stop, we traveled to Northfield to spend the night with Mimi and Poppa. My friend Christina came by for dinner and to meet Imogen.

Mimi, Nana and Imogen - a great shot with both grandmothers!
