Catching Up

Well, my plan to write at least every other day has not panned out as well as I planned. Madelyn is keeping me very busy these days, but I am by no means complaining! She is such a good baby! I thought I'd post a quick blog while she is sleeping to catch everyone up on what we've been doing lately:

July 1st- We went to have our first official family photos taken. We wanted them to resemble Anne Geddes pictures and we definitely got what we asked for. They are amazing! Madelyn did so well during the photo session, minus a few "accidents". She was naked for the entire shoot and we defintiely left our mark at the photo studio! Oh well, I guess that's to be expected when you are dealing with a naked newborn. Jenny Hollis, the photographer, was so wonderful and could not be happier with our pictures!!! Here are a few...

July 2nd- We took Madelyn to the doctor today for a weight check. She weighs 7lbs., 13 oz!!! Wow, our little girl is growing fast! I don't really know why I was surprised...she eats ALL THE TIME!!! I'm sure she will be well over 8lbs. at our next appointment. The doctor also assured us that the jaundice is completely gone and we have a healthy and thriving baby on our hands. What great news!

July 8th- Today was our 3rd wedding anniversary! I can't believe it's been 3 years

already. Our wedding seems just like yesterday in some ways and it seems like a century ago in others! We have been through many trials and tribulations these past few years. We've moved 5 times and have had 4 job changes between the two of us. Nevertheless, I am so happy to be happily married to my best friend and I couldn't have chosen anyone better to go through this journey with. We are truly blessed!

Events coming up-

July 13th- Madelyn's 1 month check up! Mommy is NOT looking forward to her getting her

shots, but I know it has to be done :(

July 16th- Mommy's 1 month check up!

July 17th- We are going on our first road trip since Madelyn was born! We leave for Waco
today! We will be in Waco from July 17th - 22nd and then we head to San Angelo

and will be there July 22nd - 26th. This might be quite an adventure with a

newborn baby on board! Wish us luck!
