2 months old

Where has the time gone! It really feels like just yesterday I was checking into the hospital to be induced and now my baby girl is 2 months old! Madelynn really is coming into her personality and I love it. She is such an easy baby, which is nice because most of the day I am dealing with Jack and Olivia still. She sleeps quite a bit still, but is up at night for a few hours until about 10ish when she is wrapped and fed and put to bed, where she will sleep until about 4 or 5am for me (nice, huh?). She loves her swing, her Baby Einstein baby gym (she'll talk to the star above her and kick and squirm and it is so cute) and smiles for every one. Madelynn loves her binky, falls asleep in the car seat every time, really only cries when she is hungry or tired (or Jack has thrown a toy at her again), and is such a snuggler!Madelynn had bronculitis, which is a fancy way of saying bronchitis for kids. She had to be on a nebulizer for a few days whenever she got "wheezy". The mask looked like a fish and Madelynn smiled and cooed through her treatments, unless she was sleeping through the whole thing.Jack loved getting his picture taken, and even more, he loves to see the picture on the camera after I've taken it. And yes, he does have a knot on his forehead thanks to his forehead meeting the concrete floor at Costco. What picture of Jack would be complete without some sort of bruise, scrape, black eye, etc?Madelynn and her Einstein gym. She loves her "friend" the star, and then talks to the animals on the mat for tummy time. Notice Jack and Olivia's feet/hands next to her. They were as enthralled with the play mat as much as Madelynn was.Isn't she adorable?! The shoes were Olivia's "purchase" (I didn't notice she had put them in the cart at Walmart until after I'd gotten home and paid for them and then lost the receipt. Olivia told me "I thought they would be cute for baby Madelynn!" How can I argue with that?) and the headband I bought online. It's interchangable, so I can put whatever flower or bow I want on the band. I also got a band in black and one in white. She seriously was so cute I couldn't stop taking pictures of her!
This is Madelynn's perch while I am in the bathroom getting ready in the morning. She stays here while I shower and dry my hair. Usually she is sleeping through most of it but many times she also just watches me or Jack will try and entertain her (while I watch closely to make sure he doesn't try to pick her up or sit on her).I love this picture because Olivia is pushing Madelynn's face towards to camera and telling her to say "cheese". I have my kids (well, Olivia) trained so well. Olivia always wants to hold Madelynn and I love what a big helper Olivia is. She really is such a wonderful big sister and it's amazing to me how old she is now. Maybe it's because Madelynn looks like a mini-Olivia, but I definitely am realizing how fast my kids are growing up and how time really does go too quickly.
