No photos please

This is how I found her sleeping a few nights ago!

We have a babbler!

Please excuse Peppers annoying squeaky toy at the end (worst purchase I ever made)

I love my daddy!!

Maddie loves her daddy so much! This is what a typically night of them together would be:

a little TV time (probably sports center)





maybe a little nap in daddy's arms




bath time



Seriously, I have only given her one bath since she was born! The little turtle is a toy that squirts water (right now I think Alex may enjoy playing with it a little more then her.)

Alex is such a great father and I am so blessed to be able to share mine and Maddie's life with him!

Don't have a lot of time to write today, but wanted to share this picture with you all!

Family Photo

On Madeline's first day at daycare last week they requested a family picture of us to put up on one of the walls in the nursery. This made me realize that we had not taken one since Christmas! We take so many pictures of just her and I forget to get any with us in them. I think we have more pictures of her with Pepper than with me.

So this last weekend I made Alex where a solid color shirt and had his sister (thanks Lindsay) take a picture of all of us - enjoy! Now if we could just get Maddie to look at the camera - maybe next month!

New skills!

It seems everyday now Maddie is surprising us with new things she can do! Sunday night she was on the kitchen counter helping me make dinner and all of a sudden she starting bringing her toy to her mouth to chew on. I was so excited and so glad I was able to get a few pictures before she got bored (sorry the quality is not that good.)

She also is so much more vocal every day - I am going to have Alex try to get some of our "conversations" on video camera so I can post a clip.

And I forgot to try to get her weight last night but will try to remember to tonight!

3 Months Old!

Madeline turned three months old yesterday and I can't believe how fast they have gone by! I also can't believe how much she is growing - she has already moved up to size 2 diapers!! We don't go back to the doctor until next month so I am going to try weigh her tonight to get a rough estimate of how much she has gained this last month. Until then, enjoy this mini-photo session we had last night, you can really see the rolls she is starting to get (and her big feet that we have to get size 6-12 month socks for)!

(Oh, and unfortunately Maddie and dad's night together wasn't so exciting - I ended up not leaving the house until 7:30 and she fell asleep shortly after that. I will have to make sure to go out earlier next time so they can have some more play time together!)
