Happy 3 months Madalin!

Wow the last three months have flown by in the blink of an eye. I can't believe that my little baby girl is already 3 months old, although when I look into her beautiful blue eyes and see how much she is changing, learning and growing I think she's gotta be bigger than that! Here are a few little Madalin facts:

She would rather sit up or stand than chill in her bouncy or swing (uh, oh like her busy mama and sis already). We have just recently put her in the jumper and she loves it. She is a chatter box, especially when she really gets going, it is really cute when she "talks" with her big sister. She has a ton of hair and it looks really cute with a flower in it. She also has the prettiest pouty lips and an amazing smile. Her smile quickly puts life into perspective, and can instantly alter your mood. I've noticed she has several different smiles: a sweet closed mouth grin; a big cheeks, squinty eyes smirk and, my favorite, a wide open mouth in the shape of an oval, like she going to swallow up your face, her cheeks show the twinge in her lips at the corners of her mouth and her eyes get really big. That is the smile I get most often from my happy, content little baby and I LOVE IT! She is still sleeping all night (knock on wood, don't wanna jinks it) from about 9pm to 7am and she takes two good naps during the day. Just like her sister and daddy it takes her awhile to wake up after nap. She snuggles and wiggles and burries her face and sleepy eyes into my shoulder. What a sweet, sweet girl. I love her and can't wait to watch her grow more. Happy Three Months Madalin!

Beach Babes

So Spring feels like it has arrived a little early. We have been fortunate to be able to enjoy the lovely outdoors this week with several days at the beach and a day at the lake to feed the ducks. I knew Caralin loves the beach and now it seems her sister really enjoys it too. I always bring a cozy seat for Madalin to sit in and she loves to watch the waves and the kids play. It is turning out to be our FAVORITE thing to do. Here are some pictures from our first days at the beach in 2010.
