Catching Up: 7 Months, 8 Months, and the Move

Well, time has gotten away from me once again! In March Madilyn turned 7 Months, and now she just turned 8 months! She is getting so big and developing the cutest personality! She loves to laugh and talk. Mostly she says "Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba", but she also can say "Mama" and "Dada". She loves going on walks in her stroller as we explore our new neighborhood. She is adjusting to our new home, but really misses her cherry blossom tree from her old room (We are working on painting her a new one!) Madilyn loves trying new foods and thinks it is so cool when she gets to put her cereal puffs in her mouth all by herself. She is still working on crawling (getting close), but she discovered that she can travel across the room by rolling over and over. She loves playing with toys and story time.

Our big move went smoothly and we are enjoying exploring our new town. We have so many friendly new neighbors, but do miss our friends back in Colorado. We have a few weeks until Lucas starts school and are really excited for this new adventure!

6 Months and Big Changes

On February 15th Madilyn turned 6 months. I can't believe she is already half a year old! She brings so much joy to our lives! She is now sitting up by her self and rolling over. What a big girl! She loves to play with toys and we love to watch her discover. We have entered the dreaded teething stage and feel so sad for her when her mouth hurts. We love this cute girl so much!

 

Our family has some big changes coming up. We are moving to Spanish Fork, UT. Lucas is going to pursue a computer science degree at UVU. We are really going to miss Thornton, but we are excited for this next chapter in our lives!

 

5 Months

Madilyn in now 5 months old and her cute little personality is shining through! She has discovered that she can grab her feet and that they are fun to suck on! They must taste good, because she really goes to town on them! She is learning and growing so much. It is so fun to watch her play with toys and discover the world around her. She loves to spit and make loud dinosaur noises (not sure where that came from, but it is pretty funny). We are working on sitting up and rolling (she almost has it!) So far she has tried rice cereal, peaches, and apples and loved them all! Madilyn is such a happy baby who loves to laugh!

 

 I could not get her to stop eating her dress!!

 

She had so much fun over Christmas when her cousin, June, came to visit. They were so cute holding hands and talking to each other.

 

We also did some family pictures on New Years. They aren't professional, and there are shadows all over, but at least we have them!

 

4 Months

So this post is kind of late, since she is now closer to 5 months than 4, but better late than never!

Madilyn is such a happy girl! Every morning when I go into her room to get her she greets me with a huge smile! She "talks" so much and loves to laugh! Madilyn has gotten very good at tummy time and has even scooted a little across the floor. (Only like 6 inches, but still.....)

She has hit a growth spurt and has finally outgrown her 0-3 size clothes.

 

She also loves her feet!

 

 

 

We decided to take her to see Santa. It ended up being bitter cold outside, so we had to keep her wrapped up. She seemed a little confused as to what was going on!

3 Months

Isn't it funny how when you have a baby all of your blog post center around the baby? I'm ok with that! People are probably more interested in the little cutie than they are in us, anyway!

Madilyn is now 3 months old! She has started to talk up a storm! She loves making coos and buzzing her lips. She laughs a lot and is just one happy girl!

We have made a complete 180 with bath time. When she was a few weeks old she would cry all through her baths. Now she enjoys them and cries as soon as the bath is over.

She has been sleeping all night in her big girl crib (mommy was sad to no longer have her in our room. If only she could stay so little!). She usually sleeps 8-10 hours through the night (which she has been doing since she was 6 weeks!).

Madilyn has such a cute personality that is showing through more and more. She brings us so much joy! She absolutely loves the tree we painted on her wall. I often will find her just talking to the tree and laughing when I go in to get her from her naps.

Mommy likes to sing to Madilyn when she needs to be calmed down. It used to calm her down and help her fall asleep. Now when mommy sings to her, she still calms down, but instead of going to sleep she will coo as if she is singing along! It is the cutest thing!

 

 

For Halloween, My brother and Sister-in-law got Madilyn a cute little Snow White costume. She was the cutest little Snow White I have ever seen!

 

 

 

2 Months

On the 15th Madilyn was 2 months old! It's amazing how much she has grown! She is almost out of her NB size clothes, and has moved up to size 1 diapers. She loves to talk (cooing sounds and squeaks) and is smiling more and more. At 6 weeks she started sleeping through the night! She loves music, books, and rhymes. When she was 8 weeks she stayed the night at Grandma and Grandpa's house while Mommy and Daddy celebrated their Anniversary. She was perfect for them! We love her so much!

 

On September 29th Madilyn had her baby blessing.

 

 

 

 

 

To celebrate our 2 year anniversary, we went to dinner at PF Changs and stayed the night at the Marriot Renaissance Hotel. Lucas gave me 2 long stem roses for 2 amazing years!

 

 

 

1 Month

Wow, time has gone fast! I can't believe my tiny little girl is already a month old!

In one month she has pooped on mommy, learned that bath time isn't as terrible as she thought, and enjoyed lots of snuggles from everyone! At 1 month her NB size clothes are finally not too big on her! Madilyn is a girl of many faces. We love to watch her make the funniest faces. She has started to make cooing noises and lift her head on her own. She usually only wakes once during the night! She even has laughed for the first time! We sure love this precious little girl!
