Memorial Day Wknd etc

Here are some pictures of family and little Miss Madison that were taken these last couple weeks of May and Memorial Day weekend. We tried to get out her new pink princess pool ... but the rain didn't help too much :( We did get to grill out, go shopping and still manage to have some fun! Madison is laughing, smiling, sleeping more (woo hoo!) and amazing us each and everyday. Hope everyone had a great weekend :)

Mommy & Me

I love Daddy!

MAJOR BREAK-THROUGH .... Mommy has only been waiting 3 1/2 months for this little one to like this expensive swing ... not only was she in it watching Baby Einsteins for 20 minutes, but she slept another 30. There is a God!!!

Memorial Day

Mimi & Me

I LOVE bath time now!

My first book I can hold ... or eat...

Great grand-pa and me :)

Happy Happy Happy!!!

Victoria Trip / May Pics

As you can see ... Madison is growing, growing, growing! We went to Victoria last weekend to see some of Chad's family and also had professional family pictures taken of us and with his brother's family (with Madison's cousin Maverick - 4 days apart). Surprisingly, pictures went well ... no melt-downs - YEA! Getting a 3 1/2 month old to smile AND look at the camera is next to impossible ... so we were just thrilled there was no crying :) We will post the pictures as soon as we receive them. Overall, she's a happy little camper and seems to have really matured at the 3 month mark ... and is starting to stick to mommy like glue! :-)

Playing dress up with mommy!

Maddy & Cousin Maverick ... too cute!

Playing on the floor with daddy :)

Not quite awake yet ...

I'm an Aunt :-)

Yea! My sister finally had her baby boy on May 12, 2009 after a long, hard labor at her home in MA. Tristan Rylee was 8.6 pounds and 19" long. Too Cute! We can't wait to go visit in July!

Mother's Day

Madison helped me celebrate my first Mother's Day :) She has really developed a sweet little personality - once she hit the 3 month mark a couple weeks ago! She has her smiles mastered and we've already heard a few laughs! Thankfully she is liking the car a little better (like the first 10 minutes rather than zero minutes....) and usually gets an A+ going out to eat and shopping ... but of course likes to be held 99% of the time .... which is ok with mom :) They grow up too fast!

Chunky Monkey!

Always happy when I wake up!

Waiting patiently at the restaurant :)

I sent mommy roses for Mother's Day :)

Ready to go!

Laughing at my new favorite toy!

3 months old !

Our little princess is already 3 months old!!! Madison is still changing and growing each and every day! She is now around 12 - 13 pounds and is learning to laugh :) (She almost scares herself sometimes when those funny noises come out!) We wish she'd laugh at us all the time ... but staring at really exciting things like the refrigerator or the ceiling fan are absolutely hallarious??? She's a perfect little baby except for not really liking the swing, car, stroller or naps over 30 minutes ... HELP! JK. On the bright side, she is thankfully sleeping 7 hours when she goes to bed at night :-) I'm waiting for that 12 hour strech .... anytime now would be great .... HA

Pretty Eyes :)

Always in a good mood when I wake up!!!

The swing ... Are my 4 1/2 minutes up?

Sign that I'm HUNGRY!

Playing in my gym

Out shopping with mommy!

HAPPY

3 month birthday ... any excuse to celebrate :)

My first mini-skirt ... don't tell dad ...

Easter !

I hope everyone had a great Easter! We had pictures taken with the Easter Bunny at the mall (of course!) and attempted to take Madison to church with us Sunday morning. Suprisingly, for a 10 week old, she did well since it was thankfully her morning nap time :) Here's some pictures of our family and little Maddy this past weekend ... the poor child only had like 4 Easter outfits :)

Madison & the Easter Bunny

Tired from waiting in line for a HOUR :(

Yes, we had to have a pic too!

2 months ... Correction

... well ... correction from below .... I tried to weigh Madison on our scale at home and it came out to 10 pounds ... but the little (or big) stinker went to the doctor yesterday and she weighs 11 lbs 1 oz. and is 23" long. She's already grown 4" in length since birth. I think she's going to be tall like Mommy! The ped. said she looks amazingly healthy and is right on target. She's very alert and can track objects from L to R with her eyes already and is starting to recognize voices too! We survived the dreaded "shot" day. She was a trooper and only screamed when they gave them to her (3) and was perfectly fine and happy once I picked her up :) Miss Piggy especially liked vaccination she got to drink ... yum! I think it was harder on Mommy than her! She also set a new record lastnight ... slept almost 5 1/2 hours STRAIGHT! There is a God.
