I apologize...

I just can't seem to find the time to blog these days. I love playing with her so much and watching her grow. She is getting so big!!! She laughs, rolls over and grabs anything in her reach...especially her toes!!! I was trying to hold her and mix a batch of cookie dough and she was all about getting it in her little grasp!!! I even have a hard time taking pictures of her because I don't want to stop playing to grab the camera!!! I know, I'm obsessed but I just love her so much. Here are a few pictures from the last little bit and a video of her rolling over!!! As soon as I can get it on camera I will post a video of her chuckle!!! We love this girl and I apologize...It won't happen again... :)

First month on earth

I can't believe she is a month old! She is definately big enough to be a month old, I am just surprised at how fast it actually has gone! And how much things change in just a month. For example...ask me on July 11th how many kids we want and I would say "one please". Ask me a week later and the answer would be the same. But a mere 3 weeks later I would sign up today for another! (okay, maybe not TODAY but definately in the near future :) Madie has been so much fun. She is a really good baby and loves to smile and look at her new world. She is a water baby-loves the bath and SCREAMS bloody murder when it's time to get out. No doubt she will be the "But I'm not even wrinkly yet!" kid in the future. I took her swimming and she slept in the water on my chest the whole time! It was awesome! I thought I would post some pics of her first month on earth commemorate!Are you my mother???

Hi world!

That's my name...don't "WEAR" it out! (Ha Ha I'm cheesy)

Meeting Auntie Erin for the first time

Meeting cousin Bryce for the first time...He was so excited. I got a half hug with the words "Where's baby Madeline???"

First attempt at a smile :)

Meeting Maggie (my big "sister") I know...cheesy

Hanging with Dad

At the Park...I want to know what she is thinking!!!

About to start screaming since I took her out of the bath

This is when she looks most like her dad...

Lion Roar!

Again, I so BADLY want to know what she is thinking when she makes this face, she does it alot!

Meeting Auntie Kristin for the first time

Holding her hair as she falls asleep

I LOVE this picture...She's a hat girl for sure!!!

I'm a mommy!

I know this is SOOO overdue it isn't even funny but what can I say? We have been busy! Madeline made her debut into the world on July 11th @ 8:09 am. Kinda fitting since I was addicted to Slurpees (Cherry Coke to be exact) throughout the entire pregnancy! She will now receive a free Slurpee every year on her birthday at participating 7/11's. Thats right folks, every year on 7/11, you too can receive a free small Slurpee at a participating convenience store near you! She weighed in at 8lbs., 6oz. and was 20" long. Definitely her fathers' daughter! The doctor was awesome and made sure I knew that I had "A pretty good sized baby" RIGHT before I began pushing..."Thanks Doc!" Labor was fast, about 2 1/2 hours total. She wasted no time :) Well enough about the details, lets see some pictures!!!
