{BABY} Madelyn's 2nd Month

Hello!  Wow, I cannot believe how fast the last month has flown by!  Madelyn (and all of us) have been very, very busy!  

{PETS}

She has been getting to know her furry brothers... 

Hanging out with Jackson

Sleeping with Reggie

Getting to know Mini Kitty

{FAMILY & FRIENDS}

She got to meet Grandma and Grandpa Shotton visiting from Kentucky!

 

Meeting BJ visiting from Salt Lake City and thanking him and his family for all of the baby stuff she uses ALL the time!!! {THANK YOU Johnson family so much - we MISS you guys!!!}

Meeting Sam and thanking her for fixing Daddy's hair!

Madelyn attended her first Miracle League game to see Uncle Jon get his trophy.  One day she will get to be his buddy!

We also had a very special visit from Aunt Carolyn from Indiana and her first Skype with her Portland cousins!

Madelyn also had her first "professional" photo shoot when Aunt Deena and Uncle Mark came to visit from Orange County, CA.

She also spent time with the Newf's and hosted her first Boxing Party!

{ABOUT MADELYN} 

EATING

She eats a lot but still is little but very long - she fits into 3 month clothes in length but not in the belly!

SLEEPING

She is a very good sleeper - normally she will eat around 7:30 PM, then 11:30 PM and then sleeping until about 4-5 AM then eat and play until about 7:30 AM then sleep.  We both consider this great since Brad will take the 11:30 PM feeding so I can sleep from about 9:30 PM to 4:00 AM!  She is still in our room and does not like her crib but it is so much easier to have her sleep next to us at night.

LIKES

Overall, it was a great month! She is such a fun loving little person and brings a lot of happiness to everyone around her.  Everywhere we go with her people comment on her hair - every. single. person.   

Next up is a visit from Cindy and Mike!  

{BABY} Week 33

Week 33... crazy that she will be here in March... luckily Geoff has been here to help prepare for her arrival - THANK YOU GEOFF!!!!  He has been painting, moving stuff and helping us make decisions which is awesome, since when Brad and I projects together it can get ugly... 

Home Projects + B&C + baby hormones = nothing good :( 

We actually went to Home Depot and chose three different colors of paint in less than 5 minutes - that could be a record! 

Also, Mary went to visit and help out her sister in Indiana so we have Jonny Boy to help us along... he is great at picking paint, lightening the mood and keeping us on our toes!  It has been a fun week with all of us working together!  

Here is Jonny Boy at Miracle League of Arizona - I cannot say enough about Miracle League.  It is the highlight of Jon's week and the people who work and volunteer there are amazing.  I will write more about this at some point but needless to say he had a blast! 

Jon with his buddy "Jackee" 

So here is the 33 week shot - please forgive the wet hair we were heading to Jon's baseball game! 

Deena - I added Reggie and Jack today!

Brad and Geoff agree my "belly" has grown 2 inches since this picture! 

Here is the work the men have been doing... 

While I have been working at my job, which I love doing.  It is a great mix of customer service, marketing and social media and I get to do it from home which is icing on the cake! 

Then, there has been the food!  We went to Scottsdale Beer Company, Z'Tejas, Four Peaks and Ray's Pizza!  But the best meal has been Brad's Smoked Ribs and Chicken at home!  Jonny Boy loves it! 

We have been super busy but loving every minute of family time!  I will add the BBQ Sauce recipe soon - it's too good not to share! 

Next up - Baby Shower! 

Love - Brad and Christi
