4 MONTHS! 4 MONTH!

Did you see that title? 4 MONTHS! REALLY! Our baby girl is 4 months old. She now LOVES to talk and blow bubbles, she would rather be siting up than laying back, she's eating solids, she rolled over once, but really hasn't since. She sleeps on her tummy, so we kind of feel she hates it during the day b/c she's thinking it's time to go to bed. Tha'ts just my opinon ;).

Her 4 month stats:
15 lbs, 14 oz.
25 3/4 inches
Both 75% in both :)

I'm way over due on photos, so enjoy!
























The taste of applesauce :)

uh oh -- she's on the move...

Maddie rolled over this past weekend :)....Next she'll be on her way to crawling ;).

Luckily I got all of it on video...as she was rolling over my card was full, so I'm glad I got most of it...Enjoy!



4 months stats and photos coming this week!

28 days organizing challenge

oh yes! You read correctly. I found this Blog from another blog I read daily. Needless to say, it's what I've been needing for a room in our house....Actually EVERY room in our house. BUT, let me just stick with one room first ;).

This is our Office/Guest/EVERYTHING room! AND, as you can see Maddie has found her way into this room as well. Therefore, it's in much need of some organizing! Let the games begin!

Here are the before pictures:

3 months

Maddie is now 3 months old! (technically not until the 26th), but I'll save that post for her pro pics :). It's been almost a full year since we found out about a baby. Wow, has that year FLOWN right on by!

Maddie is getting tons of personality now - she smiles (a lot), laughs, coos, and of course cries :). She is determined to sit up and she's starting to hate lying down any sort of way while she is awake...oh boy :).

She's still sleeping through the night - woo hoo! Last weekend she was sleeping 10-12 hours. Those were also the days she decided not to nap or only take cat naps.

She weighs 13 pounds, 8 ounces and about 23in. long -- This is all my measuring and weighing ;).

I will be taking her 3 month photos soon, so watch out for those.

Brant and Jae news -- Brant has been interviewing for a new job, and actually has one today, so we are praying he gets the job. It will be a wonderful opportunity for him. Goooo Brant! :-). As for me, My photography business is back up and running. Have my first wedding this weekend, so we'll see how it goes. I am in the middle of deciding if I want to continue with weddings right now or just stick with portrait sessions, so we'll see.

So, now we leave you with photos of Maddie from the past month -- enjoy!

And we're back....

Back to work! :(
Back to blogging more! :)
Back to the Real World! :(
Lots of Sighs...

The first day back to work wasn't bad at all! I think it help taking her straight from bed to car seat...so I didn't have to see her looking at me and smiling. That made things much easier! However, the second day she was awake and smiling...It's sad when I have to wake her up to feed and dress her -- and that was the 7th hour of sleeping.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful New Years! now that I'm back to work, I'm sure I'll be blogging more, so there is some good news at the end of the tunnel :).

Enjoy the newest photos--
