Sippy cup and doctors visit

Trying out the sippy cup for the first time

All bundled up and ready for a stroll
So excited to be at the doctor's office.
Madelyn had her 9 month appointment today. Our little girl weighed in at 18 pounds 1 1/2 ounces (30th percentile for her age) is 27 1/4 inches long (35th percentile) and her head is 17 1/2 inches (60th percentile). Looks like she is going to be skinny and smart! She got 2 shots and her finger pricked today but didn't cry long-she's tough. She was a little anemic today(her blood count was 30 and they want it to be above 33) so we have to start her on some different vitamins and go back in a month for a re-check.

Rainy Saturday

Best buddies


Wishing it was warm and sunny!

Sweet laughter

Photo shoot

Madelyn and I had a little photo shoot today

Outside

It was so nice outside this morning we decided to play in the yard for a bit. Madelyn loved being outside.



Then it was time to take a nap. I went to check on Madelyn and this is what I found.
Even with a paci in she smiles.
Now that she can sit up from laying down naps are a little more difficult.
