The Latest...




I'm sure Madeline is so sick of my camera at this point...but I'M THE MOM! So there. Maddies favorite thing right now is her little "blankie buddy" (Thanks O'Malleys)...she loves to grab on to it and lick it like she's a cat. We love our little weirdy. She turned 14 weeks this week and as much as I hate to say it...it's happening SO fast!
Right now we're working on bedtimes at night...she likes to stay up late with us, but I like my husband and want to spend time alone with him...so....again...I'M THE MOM! We've let her cry it out a little bit, but as tough as it is, I need to remember the great advice I once heard...to not listen to the crying as much as what she is saying through her crying...meaning that when she wails it just means she's exhausted and doesn't know what to do with herself.

This weekend we are headed off to Michigan to see our friend Dan get married! We are excited because a bunch of our friends are heading up and staying in hotels...and I get to visit my dear friend Kristin who lives up there as well for a bit. Madeline is coming with us, and so is my mom...who was gracious enough to offer her babysitting for the weekend!

I love the pictures! She is the cutest baby girl, second only to Lily ;)

I can't wait to meet her and see you this weekend!

What a beauty! Sorry I haven't gotten back to you! We'll catch up this week I hope.

She is such a good combination of you two, but I think she is favoring Daddy?? Not sure. Faith is a little wierdo too, she licks everything like a little puppy. Your baby girl is so pretty.
