one month.

wow! madalyn turned one month on the 22nd...time is already flying!

she has fit so perfectly into our lives it's hard to imagine what it was like before....well...i did sleep all night, i remember that :)

anyways, we havent been to the dr since her 2 week appointment so no updates on stats. i do know she is an awesome eater and is growing like crazy! she is almost out of newborn clothes. and her hair! let's take a minute to discuss the hair. 

it's crazy!

long, dark and fluffy!

parker pets her hair and says soft...over and over again!

it sticks up at all different angles and there is no controlling it.

it make her look a bit like a crazy old man waking from a nap ;)

i love it...and her!

 she's a serious one...

 and a super hero

we love you, madalyn!

the craziness of life.

most of these pictures have no purpose...just the everyday craziness ;)

 big + little

 hugs!

 attack!

 ahh...its the end of the world

and a couple from father's day

we love daddy!

and we said goodbye to one of our playgroup buddies...we have been meeting for almost two years! we will miss bo and michele!!

part two....super late

hello. i had every intention of completing part two last week but...

we were enjoying our days with daddy (he just went back to work on monday) and spending time relaxing, sleeping, watching the world cup, enjoying playing at the park...

it was a full week :)

so where were we? oh yes, madalyn's first weeks of life!

she has been a wonderful baby! with garth and mary here we were able to get out a lot, which with a newborn could end in disaster ;) she, however, was a rock star and slept, eat and enjoyed all the adventures!

parker was in heaven with all the extra attention. grandpa and grandma were, too!

 first family of four pictures!

airplane? doggie? 

 such a cuddlier

 at the zoo with "C yia"

yes, they are holding hands by choice...so cute!

 piglets at the farm!

 working hard! (our backyard has never looked so good! thanks mary, brandon and parker!!)

 10 days old...heading to church

 let's roll baapa! (at ikea, of course)

 proud grandparents

 first helmet! had to wear it home!

 and then wear it for the rest of the day ;)

 we had such a fun time! what a great way to celebrate madalyn's first two weeks of life!

which brings us to today...

this morning we had some snuggles ;)

 i'm glad parker finds getting hit in the face so funny ;)

life lately. part one.

the last two weeks have been busy! we were blessed to have garth and mary come visit right after madalyn was born. parker loved having baapa and maama (grandpa and grandma) there to read stories, play chase, trucks...he was pumped!

so we were able to get out of the house and do a lot!

we went to a cute farm! below parker is chasing the peacocks with a carrot ;)

bunnies!

 eat this carrot...please

 he was super excited to meet this cow...then she licked him...not a fan of cow kisses

 goats!

 chickens! he had no fear and went right in and started to chat with the chicks and chase them about.

 and a train ride! he was excited...although his face says otherwise

we've been getting used to madalyn.

who has eyes...in case you were curious ;)

 proud big brother

 first bath!

 baby wrinkles

 no trip is complete without a ferry ride!

 cheese!

so cold! 

 and windy!

 all that wind made someone hungry!

part two tomorrow!
