3 Months Old!





I can't believe how fast the last 3 months have gone...wow! Madison is such an angel and here are some of her accomplishments as of right now:
-has slept through the night (at least 8-9 hours) for the last 3-4 weeks consistently!
-takes 3 or 4 good naps during the day (can't stay awake for much more than an hour at a time!)
-I can lay her down wide awake for naps and she puts herself to sleep with no crying at all...it's an absolute miracle!
-can hold her head up when laying on her tummy
-smiles at everyone who smiles at her
-gets a little upset if left in a room by herself, but as long as she can see someone she knows, she is very content
-starting to drool like crazy
-loves her binky
-loves bathtime
-loves to be outside
-hardly ever cries...maybe a couple minutes a day and that is if she can't get a burp out or she is super tired
-according to being on the scale with me, I think she weighs just over 14 pounds right now!

Madison has been such a wonderful addition to our family and the transition to three kids has been so much easier than I anticipated. I'm not sure if it is because she is such a good baby, or because there is a 3 1/2 year gap between her and Paris, or if it is because I am a little more relaxed/less stressed about everything in general, but I'm grateful! It's sad to see her grow up so fast, but it's so fun to see her learn and grow as well. Savannah and Paris continue to pray daily that Madison will grow up fast so they can play with her more!

Nellie! You'd better start praying the opposite--don't let her grow up fast, don't let her grow up fast! Because I know that Heavenly Father likes the prayers of sweet little girls, so he might just make her grow up too fast if you don't get your requests in! :)

She's a chubby cheeked doll--and sounds like SUCH a GREAT baby! :)

I can not believe that she is that old already!!! She is so cute!! Life is going good here. We hate the 3rd floor but other then that we are good! We sure do miss you guys! Kaden is always pretending to talk to everyone that he used to hang out with, like your girls! It is going to be a long summer for him with no kids his age! But we are headed home in July for a week and are SO EXCITED!
