Madelyn has grow so much in the past month. She is no longer a tiny little newborn. She smiles all the time and has become very vocal.

Smiling little face

Madelyn is all smiles all the time now. She is such a happy little girl. Her sweet little face just melts our hearts. She is finally sleeping in her room and every morning when I go to get her she gets the biggest smile on her face when she sees me.

Happy July 4th

This year we had two July 4th celebrations. Last Sunday we went to my parents church for the July 4th celebration that they do every year. I was a little nervous when we got their because our table was right in front of the band but Madelyn went right to sleep when the band started. We had great food, watched the children's parade (next year Madelyn will be in it) and then went outside for an amazing fireworks show.


On July 4th we went to The Club with Aunt Sarah, Uncle Brian and Madelyn's great granddad (Papa) and all her grandparents except for My-Myee G (who is still in Brazil with cousins Aubrey and Paisley) Madelyn misses her lots and can't wait for her to come home. We had wonderful food and a great band at The Club. Thankful it cooled down outside so we spent some time outside on the deck over looking the city then it was time for the fireworks. Madelyn loved all the noise as she watched the fireworks. Hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th!

First professional pictures

Spencer and I took Madelyn to Portrait Innovations last Friday for her first professional pictures. She did so good. She was asleep when we got there so we have some precious sleeping baby pictures. The photographer was really good and got lots of great pictures, some serious faces and some smiling faces- all of them are beautiful. We had such a hard time deciding which pictures we liked best- next time we will definitely take somebody else with us to help decide. Here are a few that we got.

2 months old

Madelyn has been here 2 months already! She has grown so much since her 1 month picture that I took. She will now take a paci but not just any paci- just the huge green one that covers half her face. She also loves to sit in her boppy next to someone on the couch.

We have been so busy in May and June. May 30th was my parent's 40th anniversary. We had a big party for them which they really enjoyed. June 1st was Spencer's 28th Birthday. I wasnt ready to take Madelyn out to dinner so we went to his parents house for his b'day dinner. We had a wonderful steak dinner prepared by Uncle Dave and cousin Ashley.
Madelyn has grow so much lately. At her last doctor's appointment she weighed 9 lbs 7 0z. She got her first set of vaccines (4 shots) which she was not happy about but only cried for about 30 seconds. Spencer and I were very proud of her. I have been trying to get her on a schedule but that has been easier said than done. We have bath time every night at 9 pm. I'm not sure if she likes her bath or if she's just scared (she always has a scared look on her face but doesnt cry). That's the only part of her schedule that stays the same, everything else seems to be up to Madelyn. Hopefully we can be on a better schedule soon.
Madelyn has had lots of first in the past few weeks. She had her first trip shopping, her daddy dragged us to Best Buy to get his B'day present for the next several years- a big screen HD TV. Madelyn and her daddy love the new TV. She put on a swimsuit for the first time. I think she feels like me about wearing a swimsuit- not exactly thrilled about it. She went to her grandparents pool for the first time. She does not like the pool yet. It was too hot for her so I dipped her feet in the pool and she started screaming. Hopefully next year she will feel different about swimming. Madelyn has been smiling at everybody lately. She has also become alot more vocal too. It's hard to believe she's almost 2 months old.




Madelyn sleeping in her bassinet- she hasnt slept in her crib yet. I like having her right next to me knowing that she's OK. Spencer says that she has to sleep in her room starting tomorrow but we will have to see if I can do that.
