In the Rain Forest

What is Madalyn up to these days?
-She will be 12 weeks old tomorrow and will be 3 months old June 21st (our 3 year anniversary!)

-she is now sleeping about 7-8 hours a night. She is going down somewhere within the hour of 10. Some nights it's 5:30 when she gets up, yesterday it was 8:00 when she woke up and we had two days of 7:00 this past week.

-Our bedtime routine begins with a stroll around our yard, then if it's time to eat, she gets her bottle, if not then we take a bath and then get our bottle.

-She's becoming so alert and holding her head up very well. She's smiling and cooing more and drooling more. :0)

-She is still loving anything that moves and loves to be outside, which is hard to do until late in the evenings with the weather as hot as it is.


One day I got a surprise email from one of my cousins, and they had sent Madalyn a gift card to Amazon as a baby gift. I really wanted to use the money wisely and get things that she would need for her next stage of development in line of toys. One thing that was on my registry was an activity center and I didn't get it. So, that was the first thing that I ordered for her and I'm so glad that I did. She has really started to enjoy it. The theme of the activity center is a rain forest and it plays music, has lights, and different toys that rattle and she can play with. Every day Madalyn gets time in her "rain forest". She starts off on her back and then she has some tummy time. She has really started raising her head more on her tummy now. She's always done it, since we got home from the hospital when someone holds her, but you can tell she is developing more and more.

Last night, Kevin was watching the Carolina baseball game and had both his girls with him. I think it looks like Madalyn is cheering in this picture.
