Hafee Birf-day Nate (and Puppy?)
Lindsay has been slightly obessessed with birthday since celebrating mine in January (19th), then hers (Feb. 15) and Nate's (her cousin) and Daddy's (Mar. 4th & 5th). She frequently will run into the room and say, "H-prize, Hafee Birf-day!" we were trying to get capture it a few days ago and this is what we got:

Rainy Sunday
This past Sunday it poured rain... so we decided to stay inside and have a family day. 
We stayed in our jammies and obviously did not comb our hair....
Shared our toys and built indoor tents...
Had meaningful conversations...
Took cat naps...
Baked sugar cookies with my favorite sous chef...
And snuggled a TON!!
Took cat naps...
I would say it was a pretty successful day.

Madison: One Month
I am a little late on this one, but we've had a busy couple of weeks :)
Our sweet little Maddie is already one month old!?! She is doing just great, and we are loving our life as a family of four. I am not sure of her stats for this month, but next month we are going to the pediatrician, and I will post them then.
**Eating...She has been putting on lots of weight, as you can see in the second picture, and she has a cute double chin and little leg rolls.... we love it!
We were worried about her for the first couple of weeks, because she cries and cries between 5-7pm (and later quite often) and will arch her back and get stiff-as-a-board and seems to be in pain. We asked the Dr. about it, and have been using gas drops which have been working so-so. She does spit up frequently, but it seems like more of an air-issue rather than acid reflux; it is really hard to get a good burp from her. I think between gas and over stimulation/overtired by the end of the night, she is pooped and just plain cranky. She is quite the snuggle-bug, and we have been taking full advantage :) *Sleep...Lately on a good night she has been giving me two 3-hour stretches of sleep, which has been great. Starting today we have been working on an eat/sleep schedule for Madison and attempting more daytime crib sleeping... let's just say the swing has been how I have gotten anything done these days...LOL. There is nothing wrong with the swing, but I think she gets better rest in her crib, without Lindsay and the TV for constant stimulation.
**Hair... Her hair has been lightening up, although I am not sure because lately a LOT has been falling out. I don't think she will lose all of it, because there shows signs of growth at the front. Her eyes are still dark blue.
**Alert... Maddie is very alert, and will push up on your shoulder to see what is going on. She isn't a fan of tummy-time, but likes to lay on Daddy's chest. Does that count? LOL
**Smile? She has been doing lots of tracking with her eyes, and making cute cooing sounds. She has smiled a couple of times, although I cannot rule out gas :) There looks like there might be a dimple on her right side.
Love you Maddie Girl!! xoxo
