3 months old this week

Madelyn is three months old this week. I had her weighed today and she is 12 pounds and 5 ounces. It is hard to believe that it has been 3 months. Time flies.

She is a very very happy baby. She oohhs and aahhs all the time. She wakes up at 8am and goes down at 8pm. I do wake her at 10pm for one last feeding, but I plan to get rid of that feeding this weekend. She is an awesome eater and sleeper and she loves to play with her siblings. She watches both of them as much as she can. She is sharing a room with Lizzie and it is working out pretty good. This week started off a little shaky. Cody turned 33 on Monday and came home with a little cold. The lack of sleep from the weekend and trying to act 21 again caught up with him (he really didn't try to act 21). On Tuesday he felt so terrible that he stayed home and worked from here. A day of rest helped a ton. It was back to work on Wednesday while the kids and I went to Bible Study and came home to tutor.

Wednesday evening I walked into the living room to see this. Is this considered child abuse because Wesley loves it!!! We have come to the realization that it is a lot easier to run after and catch him if he is in overalls. They are awesome. I can carry Maddie in one arm and Wesley in the other.
Maddie loves to play on the floor in the playroom and when she does, the kids think that they get to lay down right next to her. When she starts crying...they all run. :)

Wesley is still obsessed with shoes and feet. He does walk around in his daddy's boots and does a pretty good job with it. He is all boy!!!

Friday morning I took this picture. They are growing up so fast. Lizzie can completely take care of herself, it seems. She dresses herself, undresses herself, goes to the potty by herself, picks out her own food, sets the table, starts the dishwasher, helps fold clothes...and so much more.
Wesley now has 8 teeth and is going to need a haircut very soon. His sweet little curls are getting too long. We keep putting it off because they are just so darn cute. I got him to say 'hot rod' today which made his daddy so proud.
Maddie is rolling over, sucking her thumb and is very observant. She smiles and laughs, but can be very loud when she wants something. She is the baby and we all know it. :)

Happy Birthday Honey!!!!

33 years ago today Cody was born on the same day that A&M was born (just read that it was A&M's birthday today on facebook). After 33 years he is still playing tough guy... ...and there are moments of sweet guy...
...rough guy...


...and family guy...


...and then there are moments where he is just still a kid. I thought that this picture would not get me in trouble like the one of him playing dress up with Lizzie or the one of him riding a stick horse around the house. :)

Either way...he is MY guy. Happy Birthday Cody. I pray that you have a wonderful day and that it is full of joy. We love you!!
