Busy week recap...

Here is my little sweetie all ready to go to FNO so that mommy and daddy can have a date night.

I just love baby sandals!

We started on rice cereal and drinking from a cup this week. I think it is going really well! Well until she decides to spit it everywhere and laugh:)

Here is my little dumplings ready to go to KDO training.

Madelyn has learned to hold her cup all by herself, not for long but she can do it!

Today we spent lots of time outside

We met friends at the splash park, then played outside while the pool water warmed up and then played in the pool.

Best part about the week coming up is Papow will be here!

Walks

We have been going on lots of walks since it has cooled off to 90 from the 100s

Here's Maddie ready for one of our walks...

We got out the exersaucer last week and Maddie really seems to like it.

Here we are at a friends house last week having fun in his exersaucer

Maddie had a 4 month well baby check-up and shots.
She got 2 shots and 1 oral vaccine.

4 months

Madelyn Grace

You are 4 months old today.
I think you weigh about 14 pounds, you have your 4 month appointment next week and we will find out for sure then.
You are wearing size 2 diaper.
You are wearing 0-3 month clothes and some 3-6 month clothes even though they are still a bit big.
You have made your own schedule and it's working well for us. You wake up for the dat between 9-1130. Depending on what time you wake up you take 2-3 45 min naps and are in bed between 730-8. Lately you have only been waking up once at night between 3 and 6.
You like your car seat and will sleep in it as long as i cover you up and make it dark.
You have learned to roll over now so you are sleeping on your belly.
You still suck your thumb a lot.
Tummy Time happens a lot easier now since you can roll yourself over:)
You really like watching The Backyardigans. When it's on you just kick and laugh and talk to the tv, it is so sweet!
I really think you are teething, you drool a lot and suck on your lip but I don't feel anything yet on your gums.
You are still wearing size 0-1 shoes.
You have really started laughing a lot lately. It just warms my heart to hear you laugh.
In the past few days you have really been talkative during your bath!

We have had a busy week but Maddie didn't seem to mind. She slept well in her car seat and played with her elephant.

Here she is blowing bubbles...

I love Maddie more than I thought I could love such a small being.

I think she is still is still teething but I don't feel anything yet. Lots of chewing on her hand and anything she can get in her mouth.

Not feeling well...

We weren't feeling well today. So we had lots of cuddle time.

Fun new things...

We have lots of new things going on and I don't want to miss them or forget so I blog them...

Little Miss Maddie not only likes to suck her thumb but she likes to get both of them in there and chew on them. It's sooooo cute!

A friend let us borrow a bath ring for Maddie. She loves bath time so I thought this would help her be able to splash in the water a little more but she's not quiet ready yet. She enjoyed it but she needs to be able to sit up a little more first.

Here are a few pictures of her in the bath ring.

Tuesday night Maddie was watching me cook and chewing on her thumbs so I gave her this chew toy to try. She seemed to like it!

Then yesterday I found Maddie like this during nap time

And today like this, 3 times...

So we can roll over now!

The fun part is she hates tummy time so I guess she will quit doing it or learn to like it!

First time in the pool!

On Monday we drove up to Missouri to visit some friends and they let us borrow their little pool.

Maddie wasn't crazy about It at first but quickly grew to like it

Here we are getting ready to get in the pool

Here we are in the pool

This was how we stayed cool while we were outside since the temps have been 100+ for several weeks...
