10 weeks old

Madelyn Skye will be 10 weeks Wednesday and is doing fantastic. Words cannot describe how much I love being her mommy. Just out of this world amazing. I get rewarded everyday with her big beautiful smiles that light up her whole face. She is learning to coo and laugh out loud. She has the sweetest voice. She loves playing on her mat that her daddy bought her a few weeks ago. It plays music every time she kicks it. She knows that if she kicks the piano it will pay music. She is the strongest baby I've seen especially her legs. Put her on her belly and she actually moves herself. It's crazy. Way too young... she needs to slow down. She loves baths which will be great this summer-- I hope she loves the pool. She's just full of life and a hyper, happy baby. Madelyn is both a mommy's girl and a daddy's girl. If someone is talking to her, she'll keep looking to make sure I am still there. And she absolutely loves her daddy holding her. So sweet. And we have learned that Madelyn loves Barney... hahaha it's too funny. We will sit her in her bouncer in front of the TV and her legs and arms start flailing as she stares and smiles. :)

8 weeks

Madelyn had her 2 month checkup Friday and got her first set of shots. OMG That broke my heart into pieces. That "pain" cry was horrible. David and I both cried. Her little legs were so sore this weekend, she had a bellyache Friday evening and actually vomited (scared me to death), she was fussy into Saturday and running a small fever but Saturday afternoon she wanted to smile, coo, and play... which made me feel better. I literally wanted to bust out crying because of how bad she felt. Pitiful baby girl. On a good note though, she weighed 11lbs 3oz and is 22.5in long. Chunky Monkey!!!!!!!! And while waiting on the doctor to come in Madelyn rolled from her belly to her back for the first time! Too smart. The doctor said she is growing and developing perfectly. :)

Before her 2 month checkup

About  8 hours after her shots. She was so pitiful.

Sunday was Mother's Day- My very first Mother's Day... Precious. I had such an amazing first Mother's Day. David made me a mold of his handprint with Madelyn's handprint in his palm. It's so precious! I absolutely adore it. I told David I would like for Madelyn and him to make me something for Mother's Day each year. Handmade means so much to me and I'd like that to be one of our family traditions for Mother's Day and Father's Day.  I got flowers and an awesome new mattress and bed frame, too. Crystal, Donnie, and the kids came over Sunday evening and we had lasagna for dinner and birthday cake for Dakota. I hope my beautiful mommy enjoyed her Mother's Day as well. :)

I absolutely LOVE being a mommy and I thank God for choosing me to be Madelyn's momma and David's wife. This is the best job ever-- a stay at home mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
