January & February!!!!

January!!!

Look How Big I'm Getting!!

January was another busy month for us!! We started the month off with Madeline's baptism on January 8th at St. Mark's Lutheran Church.  We were happy that Maddie was baptized by Paston Diane before she left!

                                      
After Maddie's baptism our family came back to our house for lunch.  We were so thankful that we were able to spend this special day with all of our family and a few close friends :)

We also made a trip up to Grafton Mass. to visit Aunt Chellie & Uncle Andre, oh and how could we forget their fur baby (horse) Walter too!  It was great seeing them, Elmo may say differently when talking about Walter.

Maddie even celebrated her 3 month birthday at their house!  She gave us all a gift by actually taking a bottle (this was the last time she actually took one too)

Showing off by taking the bottle!

A few days after 3 months Maddie found her voice and hasn't stopped :)
It was also a sad month with the loss of our beloved coach Joe Paterno but Maddie said her good byes in her own way.


Maddie was excited at the end of January to see Aunt Bonnie and meet Cousin Jayme, Dan, Becky & Jeremy too. We tried to convince them all that Maddie needs cousins, but no one seemed to listen to us though.

February!!!!

Well February didn't exactly start so great, Maddie was sick for the first time :(  I wish I could say it was just a sniffle or a cold, but no she had a high fever and ended up Bryn Mawr hospital.  I will have to say it was the worst day ever since no one could tell us exactly what was wrong but after two days when all the tests came back, it was just a virus.  She definitely gave us quite a scare.  No worries she is doing great now!

But we decided to hibernate for a few weeks to keep the cooties away.

Maddies First Valentines Day!

Best Valentine Ever!!! How can you not love this smile?

Aunt Coll-Doggy comes to visit!!!!
Colleen came to visit over presidents day weekend and we loved her company too, the weather was great and we went down to Reading Station to get ice cream yummy!!!

Maddie is 4 months!!!
Maddie is growing like a weed!! When she went to the doctors for her 4 month check up she weighed 13 pounds 1 ounce and was 25 1/2 inches long.  She is such a biggie girl and has so much to say too!

She also started eating cereal too!

Last Weekend of the Month
Last weekend in February was a busy busy one as we traveled back to Liverpool.  Best of all Maddie got professional pictures take at Firefly Studios by Mallory.  I highly recommend her she did a great job and her prices are fair too.  We will share more when they come available.

                                  
We also enjoyed spending the weekend with both of our families too!  I am so happy that our parents are not too far away and that we can spend the day with all of them together!

One of our favorite pictures of the month!

Hard day at the office! (or I didn't sleep all day)

As the month comes to an end March 5th is creeping ever closer.  I am thankful that I have found Ms. Dimea to watch Maddie but I know it will still be hard to leave her.  I hope she figures out that bottle too!

The best part of Leap Day is I got an extra day to spend with Maddie :)
