3!!!!

Last week, our little girl turned 3!!! We can't believe how quickly the past three years have flown by...and what a big girl our sweet little Madeline has become! Here are just a few things going on with our little girl at the age of 3: She is more than half way through her first year of preschool, knows her ABCs and 123s, sleeps through the night all night in her big girl bed, rides a bike, swims confidently with floaties, looooves to dance and sing, is crazy about playing dress up all day every day and we have the laundry to show for it, she loves to wear mommies knee high black boots, is obsessed with Katy Perry, has three blankets that she cannot sleep without, loves to brush and floss her teeth, loves to do her hair (like a princess), keeps mommy on her toes 24/7, is an amazing big sister, would prefer to play outside than watch tv, loves to read books, prefers water to juice and soda, rarely takes naps, loves camping, has tons of best friends, and is pretty much the best daughter we could ever ask for! Happy Birthday BIG girl! We love you!!!

4 Months

Our little guy is growing up so fast! Collin was 4 months old on February 26th...and let me tell you, A LOT has changed in the past month! Our perfect sleeping little angel has decided to throw a wrench in mommy's nighttime routine and has been waking up every two hours for nearly three weeks now. We've attributed this to everything from moving to a new house to teething to growing and to just being super spoiled. Mommy and daddy just can't seem to figure it out! He had his first visit to the chiropractor this week, which we thought was the miraculous cure we have been waiting for because he slept great that night, but the last two nights have been awful. We're starting to think he is just teething. He started eating solid food this month with the approval of his pediatrician who insists that he is just a hungry, growing boy. He sure does love to eat! So far, he's tried organic oatmeal with breatsmilk and mommies homemade organic carrots...yum! We're going to try homemade sweet potatoes tonight. Despite the challenges we have faced with this little guy over the past 3 weeks, we still love him dearly. He's just about the sweetest little thing in the world, even when he's up crying at all hours of the night. Let's hope that before our 5 months post our bedtime routine has returned to normal! =]
