The 4th Month

Everything has been going great this month. Madeline graces us with a laugh from time to time and has started making a much broader array of noises. Gramie Franie came and took care of Madeline for 2 weeks while Jef and I were at work and now Madeline is in daycare. She seems to be doing really well and has big smiles for her caregiver. Madeline is now in size 6 months because she is so long. We have her 4 month checkup tomorrow and I am excited to see where she is on the charts. She definitely takes after her daddy in that department!

First Laughs

This morning I was changing Madeline's diaper and playing with her on the changing mat and she let out her first real laugh. Jef and I looked at each other stunned and amazed. It was the most wonderful experience and I had to hold back from crying. Jef went and grabbed the camera and we got a little more out of her.

The 3rd Month

We have tons of pics from this month and it was really hard pairing them back. I've returned to work and Jef is now home with Madeline for 2 weeks, then I'm off for a week and then Grandma Frannie is here for 2 weeks. The days are going by fast and Madeline is getting smarter and smarter every day. She is smiling and laughing like crazy and is talking up a storm. Her favorite songs are Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and Puff the Magic Dragon. Enjoy the pics!

This shot was extremely difficult to capture

Jef thought tights went over onesies

It was a slightly cool day out
