My Little Squishy Baby

Can I just share a few things about being Madelyn's mother? It will be just a few things because she has been asleep for 2 and half hours and is due to wake up any minute.

You may notice from pictures that Madelyn has become a little chub. It makes me laugh every time I pick her up because she is just this little ball of squish. She has started smiling and almost laughing. I know that we are going to get a good laugh out of her any day now.

Now that she is almost 11 weeks old she is becoming a little more predictable and a little calmer. She is sleeping better and longer at night and her naps are becoming more predictable. She has slowly moved out of her fussy baby stage and is becoming more cuddly and playful. Yes, it is very fun.

Here is a picture of Maddi with her little friend Juliet.


On another note, This past weekend we had our friends, JC and Katrina stay with us for a few nights. We were finally able to meet Juliet who is now 9 months old (see pictures above). She is one sweet little girl who has the most darling face when she gets excited (see the 2nd picture above). Juliet was so enthralled with Madelyn. (I love it when little babies get excited to see other little babies. I have a darling clip on our camcorder of Juliet kissing Madelyn. It is pretty darn cute). We were also able to do a few fun things like go out to dinner at the Pizza Factory and go to the All You Can Eat Ice Cream Fest at the Utah State Fair. (Yes, it was very fun and I like icecream a lot).

It was really fun to have JC and Katrina here from Virginia, and we're so happy that they were able to spend some time with us while they were here. (JC/Katrina, please please please consider moving to Utah. Don't you think it would be fun.)
