3 months old!

I cannot believe that my little girl will be three months tomorrow!! Every day gets better and better. Madelyn is sleeping fairly well during the night, smiling on cue, talking (cooing), and even grasping her little toys. Though her nighttime sleep is good, we are still working on a nap schedule...she can get pretty cranky if she doesn't get her naps in.

An exciting update about Maddie's hip! We visited the doctor last week for a follow-up ultrasound on her hip and everything looks good. Madelyn doesn't have to wear the harness anymore. I think she is much happier and I am loving playing dress-up with all of her cute clothes now that she can wear them more easily.

Trying to get a seven, five, and three month old to look at the camera isn't too easy...


Chillin' with one of her favorite toys...a stuffed lion that is just about as big as her!















This picture just cracks me up!



Madelyn is so happy in the mornings!















Acting silly with Grif...




















I am definitely in love!! :)

Cousin meet Cousin

This past weekend, my brother Andrew, sister-in-law Liz, and 18-month old nephew Benjamin, came in to town to visit and Meet Madelyn for the first time. The weather was great and we had a really fun time just visiting with each other and exploring some of the city highlights.


Ben seemed a little a more interested in Madelyn's toys than with the little infant inside. He did show a special interest in Griffie as well, our little Yorkie. Ben would run around the house, calling Maddie and Griffie "Buh Buh"- aka-Baby or Barney(his big yellow dog at home). He is at an adorable age. It's hard to believe that Madelyn will be at that stage before we know it! Yikes.

Maddie is really starting to love her bathtime and Aunt Liz snapped a few shots one morning.


















We had fun around town, eating Chowder, visiting the market, and playing at the playground.



On Sunday we went to church; Maddie and Ben looked so cute all dressed-up:)



























Liz and I had a fun time dressing up the little ones in matching outfits that Liz found before coming out to Seattle, unfortunately, the photo shoot didn't exactly go as planned!!
