Guitar Hero

Even Noelle has been bitten by the bug!

Sweetest girl ever...my nice Evynn.

Cara and Natalie

Noelle has the best time with her friends Cara and Natalie...

BONUS: Noelle loved wearing the little bonnett from Madeleine's blessing dress. If she ever converts to the Amish faith, she'll fit right in.

Woo-Hoo!

I left my camera at Auntie's so no pictures but we had a couple of fun days at Great Grandma and Grandpa Jones' house in San Luis Obispo while Daddy worked. Noelle loved them both, especially Grandpa. If she was not right under his feet (which made me incredibly nervous) she was asking where he was.

Friday night we celebrated Great Grandma Honey's birthday at Auntie's with the whole family. The main attraction was their new Guitar Hero. It was a blast! As my brother, Matthew, put it, "It's the new crack!"

The highlight? Madeleine was so worn out from all the fun and being passed from person to person she fell asleep on Auntie's bed at about 11:00pm, then slept until 8:30am. Holy Moly! When we got home we just left her in the car seat on my side of the bed, I kept waking up peeking in on her and she just snoozed right along. Last night was not a repeat, unfortunately, but we know she can do it!

Madeleine's Blessing

We had Madeleine's Baby Blessing on Sunday at Church (Superbowl Sunday! Not intentional.), it was such a sweet Day. Her Daddy gave her a beautiful blessing, which she peacefully slept through. We had most of our dear friends there with us and we are so appreciative of their love and support. Sorry, we did not get any pictures with them...I always do that! Lunch at our house afterwards was great, we love spending time with everyone. Noelle is especially thankful for Jacob, they have way too much fun together.

Sweetest Baby Girl...

Daddy and his GIRLS

Can't remember what but I am sure Aaron was saying something silly...

Yes, my eye disease is flaring up some. I will have a health/Graves' update tomorrow!

2 Months

We went to Madeleine's 2 month well baby check this morning. She was so very, very mad when I woke her to take her clothes off, the whole time she was getting weighed and measured she screamed her little head off. She then promptly peed all over me when I picked her up, sure showed me! She was all smiles and cooing for the rest of the exam. Until it was vaccination time, that is, not so much fun. 5 shots for such a tiny thing! I'm sure the screaming could be heard in the next building. By the time we got back home she was sound asleep, that was interrupted by more incessant screaming. Julianna rescued me with some Tylenol and she seems to be feeling better. Poor baby girl.

Stats:

Weight: 12lbs 14oz - 87%

Length: 23 Inches - 68%

Head: 15.5 - 63%

Family Fun Time!

We love it when Daddy gets home early and we have time to play!

Great-Grandma Jones

Aaron spent a few days working in San Luis Obispo last week, so he got to visit with Grandma and Grandpa Jones while he was there. Grandma Jones is the most amazing quilter, her work is unbelievable. Here is the quilt she made for baby Madeleine. I wish the picture showed all the detail it's beautiful!

For Aunt Amy...

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I just love it. The picture doesn't even do it justice.

Chunk-A-Licious

That's what she is! Yesterday Madeleine turned two whole months old. Where on earth has the time gone? This baby weighs 12lbs 11oz! She's gained 4.5 pounds since birth.

She does not have her official check-up until Thursday but I had to take her in to see the Ped today because of her stinkin' eye. Her left tear duct is blocked which causes it to keep getting infected. The medicine was no longer working so we went in to get something else and to get it cultured again. The new medicine actually seems to be making it worse. Ugh! Yes, I am doing lots of massage to the duct trying to clear it but no luck so far.

Meanwhile, enjoy these pictures of this sweet, chubby thing. She gives us the biggest smiles that take over her face but for some reason the flash of the camera tones them down. We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE you sweet baby girl!

I Hate It When...

The dishwasher is full of clean dishes and the sink is full of dirty dishes! Unloading the dishwasher is the absolute worst!

BOO!

I gotta just do it and get it over with.
