little water bug.

We've wanted to take Madelyn into the water for awhile now.. this weekend we visited her Auntie Pat and ended up spending the afternoon in the pool. Mad seemed awestruck by the sun reflections in the water, and kicked her feet a bit.. but got a little nervous getting too far from the papa.

Momma & Papa @ Jack Johnson

When we got tickets to jack johnson we contemplated taking madelyn but decided in the end that it wouldn't be the best environment for her, plus it would give ryan and i some much needed alone time.. It was a long LONG night, especially missing our 'little bucket'.. but i think we both agree that it's nice to be able to go out and do things that don't revolve around baby toys and diapers. (it's still sooo hard though).

cousins..

Lael and Madelyn.

4 months..

Mad turned four months yesterday... At her check up she was 13.9lbs and 24.5 inches long. Her new favorite things include; grabbing and trying to eat her toes, rice cereal with apple juice, being tickled under her chin, talking (sometimes at 4am)... she loves sucking her thumb and as many fingers as she possibly can, and Madelyn likes hanging out watching TV with her papa (which will soon be nothing but football:)..
