The latest...

Madelyn is much more alert and awake these days. At night she sleeps about 5 hours from 8:00 PM-1:00 AM and then wakes up every 3 after that. In the daytime she's unpredictable but sleeps a lot as well.  A few days ago I was kissing her and she laughed for the first time. I love that sound! I've been trying to get Brian to hear her but of course she hasn't done it again. I really enjoy dressing her up like a little doll.  She and I are going to have so much fun doing girly stuff :)


Oliver amazes us with the things he remembers sometimes.  For example whenever we drive by Best Buy he yells, "guitar!" because Brian has taken him there a few times to look at guitars.  Or whenever we drive downtown and he sees the State Capitol building, he yells, "Papa's office!" because it's near Brian's office. One day I braved it to the post office, got in line with the side-by-side double stroller and gave him a lollipop so that he would wait patiently and keep his hands off Maddie. So a few days later I said, "Oli we're going to the post office" and he said, "wapop", meaning lollipop and I just started laughing and said, "Yes, mommy will give you a lollipop when we get there."

Our 2 Month Old

Madelyn is two months old and weighs 10 lbs 6 oz.  Last night was the first night she slept seven hours in a row! Hooray!!!  All you parents know what a big deal that is.  Hopefully in a few more weeks she'll be able to sleep the whole night.  We can not wait to be fully functional again :)  Life is crazy these days but we wouldn't trade it for the world.

She's getting chubbier and cuter


She likes the swing and even takes long naps in it. Oli hated it.
I know she's not doing anything but I want to remember these little moments :)
