Arkansas Trip

10.06.2011

My older brother, Greg, got married last Saturday to the beautiful Crystal!  We spent about a week down in Arkansas visiting family and friends.  We had a fun time seeing everyone and I know MJ loved being spoiled! 

Madelyn did really well on her first airplane ride.  We went from Seattle to Dallas and then Dallas to Ft. Smith.

We spent a lot of the week eating at places we don't have here....SONIC, (good)mexican, CiCi's Pizza, Sweet Bay, Chik-fil-a, and Western Sizzlin.

We were able to get down to Conway and see Tim's grandparents along with our friends Katy and Mitch.

Madelyn: 6 Months

9.20.2011

Madelyn,

Happy half-birthday!  You are six months old!  Crazy!!

Here are some of your stats for the month:

-Weighing 15lb 12oz and 25 3/4" tall

-You are now in size 2 diapers and you're wearing mostly 3-6 and 6 months clothes.

-You are trying your best to crawl...almost there!

-You continue talking and squealing all the time.  It is soo high pitched!

-You were dedicated at church on Sunday.  We pray for you every night and hope that we can be good examples for you.

-You are still eating about 8 oz. every 4 hours. You're also eating rice cereal, carrots, squash, peas and prunes.  You'll start green beans tomorrow!

-You sleep between 11-12 hours at night.  Going to bed at about 8pm and waking up between 7am-8am in the morning.

-We finally saw you roll from belly to back, but still haven't seen from back to belly yet.  It will happen soon.

-You've been in the nursery at church since you were about 4 weeks old.  We thought we'd start you early, get you used to being held and watched by someone else.  Every week when we pick you up, the nursery workers say you are such a treat to have.  We are blessed with a well behaved baby.


-We are also blessed to have TONS of friends volunteer to watch you so we can go out.  You are very good with all of them!
