Lately

We haven't been blogging much lately since we've been trying to get pictures of this...

And after a full day of making this cutie smile we do a little bit of this...

Update

Madilyn had her one month checkup on Friday. At her 2 week appointment she weighed 9 lbs 2 ounces so when the nurse went to weigh her I thought she'd be about 10 lbs. I was wrong. She's now 10 lbs 8 ounces. I almost couldn't believe it. In 4 weeks she gained 2 1/2 lbs. She definately likes to eat and rarely goes more than 2 hours without a meal. Needless to say sleeping is rare around our house. Besides eating, Madilyn likes taking baths, riding in the car, taking naps with daddy, and staying up late at night. As the picture shows she's not really sure if she likes her bouncy seat yet, but I'm hoping that will change. In other news, yesterday it was 84 degrees here. I thought it was crazy, but I gave in and turned the AC on in January.

I'm One Month old

Here I am in my little bed waiting for Santa to come. I even hung the stockings all by myself. I tried to see Santa by staying up all night and not letting anyone else sleep. I was spoiled with presents from all of my grandma's, grandpa's, aunt's, uncle's and cousins.

During the past month, I had a lot of visitors:

Grandpa came and held me for a few days.

Grandma showed up the day I was born and stayed and held me for a long time. Grandma was a life saver by cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, and even changing my diapers and just about anything else that needed to be done. It helped Mom and Dad get some much needed sleep.

Even my Uncle Jeff came into town for a few days to see how I was holding up. He went to a Mav's game with Dad, but Dad the whole time thought it was a Star's game.

Grandma and Grandpa Hall came for Christmas to see me too. Here they are with my cousin Claire. They held me when they weren't passing a cold that was going around.

Here I am on Christmas Eve with Mom and Dad. We went over to my cousins house for dinner. This is my dress I got from Uncle Jeff.

Here I am in my towel after I soiled my diaper and clothes. This was after my first real bath on the day that I turned a month old.
