1 month!

I typed this up last week and then forgot to post it! Oops!!!


Madeline turned 1 month old on Monday! I can't believe a month has gone by already! Here are some 1 month tidbits:

• 7 lbs 14 oz.
• 20 1/2 inches
• She eats like crazy (hence the the HUGE weight gain)
• She can sleep 5 hours...if she wants to (key words if and want!)
• She is awake and alert more often
• Her favorite position is to be laying on your chest
• The light in her bassinet seems so really sooth her and be the key to end the little fussing she does
• She grunts a lot and makes tons of cute little noises

Another note, Chris wakes up to her fussing and noises WAY before I do! He scared the tar out of me at 3 this morning when he was standing between my side of the bed and the bassinet reaching for a burp rag on my nightstand! I thought the moms were the ones who woke up to everything and the dads slept through it all! Guess it shows how tired I truly am!

I am taking monthly pictures of Madeline next to this teddy to show how much she has grown! Here she is at 1 month!

Snack Machine

That is what I feel like, a snack machine. Madeline weighed in at 7 pounds 14 ounces! She gained over a pound in one week! Quite the eater we have on our hands!

As I was doing my normal blog reading I came across a new blog (on Layle Koncars blog) that is having a big kick off next week. It's called The Scrap Review and can be found here: http://www.thescrapreview.com/ . (Sorry guys, I have yet to figure out how to post a link word, where you type the name and if you click on it it goes to that site). Layle and as few of her friends report and review everything from adhesives to trimmers to big ticket personal cutting systems. Their launch starts March 1st and includes 7 give-aways!

Here are a few pictures of Peyton! Don't ya just love the wranglers and hat? So darn cute!

Silly Boy!

Peyton like to keep Madeline company when she's on the floor! He can be quite the silly boy these days!

Peyton is just crackin' me up with his manners. Chris told me 'Thank You' for something the other afternoon and Peyton busted me for not saying 'Your Welcome' back. He also gets quite upset if Chris tries to sneak a bite of what he's eating. He'll start yelling 'no Papa, no' and whine. But if Chris interrupts his whining and asks him for a bite he is more than happy to share! lol... Gotta love the minds of 2 1/2 year olds!

Last week I was able to finish a card (sorry the picture is crooked and not the best!) and layout! WAHOO!!! Here they are!

More pics!

Chris had the day off yesterday so he went with me to get Madeline's first vaccine and PKU test done. She did pretty good, not much crying. She weighed 6 lbs 12 oz!

Here are some cute pictures I've gotten in the last couple of days.

Peyton was keeping her company during her tummy time! It was so cute!

This is why....

I try to take a shower when Chris is home!

You may ask where his pants are? Well I've learned to pick my battles and wearing pants while at home just isn't one of them, haha!!! Yes, those are my shoes, he pulled all the shoes from underneath the bed and found pairs, then pair by pair put them on and walked into my bathroom where he left them and went for another pair! If the picture was better you could see at least 4 more pairs of shoes in the bathroom. My FatBaby boots are his fave! Prior to that he was trying to take his sister for a 'spin'. Literally, he started to push her bassinet she was in in a circle! Like I said I choose my battles. Don't really care about the pants, but spinning sister is a battle I won!

Random...

A couple random tidbits:

Chris and I noticed right away that Madeline has Grandpa John's (my Dads) sneezes. She seems to have at least three or more right in a row just like him.

Hiccups happen at least a couple times a day. Poor girl, they last quite a while too.

Here is a picture of Madeline...aren't you all impressed? She has pink on and I even put a little pink headband on her!

She Gained & New Version of Old MacDonald

I took Madeline to the doctor again yesterday for a weighing and check up. She weighed 6 lbs 1 oz! WAHOO!!! Her Doctor said she looked great!

Chris and I were in the living room and watching HGTV when we heard Peyton singing Old MacDonald as he was looking at his books. It went something like this...

Old MacDonald had a farm, EIEIO,
And on that farm he had an Octopus, EIEIO,

Old MacDonald had a farm, EIEIO,
And on that farm he had a shark, EIEIO,

Old MacDonald had a farm, EIEIO,
And on that farm he had a fish, EIEIO....

And so the song goes.
How cute is that?

I forgot mention a week long crop at Scrap 4 Life (there is a link to their site on right hand side of my blog). The Design Team Member (Jennifer) putting it on has some awesome challenges put together! Scrap 4 Life is a friendly and fun site! Come join us, there is still tons of time to participate and play!
