She's 3 Months Old!





Well...I know I said that I would be posting more often, but obviously that didn't happen. Here is the 3 month update!!
Can I just start with, Madelynn is the most amazing thing ever! Kyle and I do not know what we would do without her!!

It is amazing the difference only 1 month makes. Last month she was still in the stage where if she wasn't sleeping she was crying, but now she is awake a lot more, and will just lay/sit around happy as a clam. We even get smiles when we are talking to her!!





Highlights from the past couple of months include:
- smiling A LOT
- Rolling over onto her stomach...she doesn't quite know what to do when she does, but will soon! :)
- Hanging out with daddy everyday...Mom is very jealous of this as she went back to work in mid-Feb :(
- sitting up (loves sitting and watching Fox Soccer Channel; according to Daddy)
- Sat in the Bumbo seat once (I cannot wait until we can use this more often)
- Sleeping in the crib (What a BIG girl!)
- Spending the night away from Mom & Dad once (we slept until like 7am only though because we wanted to get home to Maddy so bad!)
- Eating from a bottle (it was a rough transition at first, but now we are all good!)
- Weighing 12lbs!! WOOHOO!
- She took out and then put the paci in her mouth! (We have it on video...even if it was a coincidence, we have the evidence)
- Going to GBN to meet the cheerleaders and Megan (she definitely put on a show with those eyebrows!!)
-Spending time with all of the grandparents (She loves every second)
- Going to meet her 3rd cousin Ryan (they are good friends already...hanging out and going to the store together- that is them in the picture below! )
- Meeting baby Liam (yup her two friends so far are boys...what guy magnet)
- Loving the bath! (she is so good when she is getting a bath...she just HATES the second I take her out of there)
- Announcing her Godparents: Kevin Reeve & Stephanie Parker (soon-to-be-Reeve)
- Getting ready to dance with her dance shoes from cousin Jennifer, dance socks from Pam, and ballet shoe outfit from Steph...she will be ready in no time!
- Celebrating lots of holidays: Her 1st Christmas, Mom&Dad's Anniversary, her 1st New Years, Valentine's Day, Daddy's B-Day, Juice's B-Day, Steph's B-Day
- Mommy finishing grad school classes!! No more long Saturdays away from my favorites! :)

What we are looking forward to:
- SPRING BREAK ...mama will be home all week (only 2 weeks of classes left until then)
- Our first Easter
- Getting a Maya Wrap...we tried it out today and it was so nice; mine is on order right now
- Warm weather and walks with Madelynn ( I have been waiting for that since she was born)
- Lots of weddings this year!!
- EVERY SECOND WE HAVE WITH HER!!!


We will post some more sometime soon!! We have so many pics to share!!

Here is a video of the first time Madelynn put the Paci in her own mouth...she really worked at it and got it eventually!! Gotta love having the iPhone to capture these moments. More videos soon!!

  1. Thanks, Stef. I having been anxiously awaiting more pictures of her. She reminds me so much of another baby I once knew (hum, wonder who that could be...) Love you all, Sara.
