Happy Fiesta!

The last couple of weeks have been very busy. We got Madelyn a jumperoo and she loves it! She looks so cute & little sitting in it. She likes to watch anything with lights, so she sits in her jumperoo smiling & laughing & watching the lights flash. We also have been putting her in her Bumbo chair which she also likes. Now that she has realized there is a different vantage point to life, she gets pretty restless when we have her laying flat. She seems to prefer "sitting" or being carried where she can look over our shoulder. She has also started rolling onto & sleeping on her side over the last couple of days. I think she is going to completely roll any day now.
Madelyn also had her first "homework project" - she had to make a shoebox float for their fiesta parade. Of course, she needed a lot of help from mom and dad on that one, but I must admit, it does look like a 3 month old made it...lol.

In other news, Dan got a promotion to work to Managed Repair Rep - he is very happy & excited about that, and David & Toni broke the wonderful news that Madelyn will have a new cousin in December!! We are very excited for them & wish them well.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! The last 2 weeks have been pretty busy for us. Last weekend we had a "Thanksgiving in March" dinner at my mom's house, which was awesome! Then to celebrate Easter we all had an Easter picnic at Rimkus park. It was a lot of fun to watch Caitlin hunt for eggs and throw confetti around and yell "wee" every time. Next year it will be a lot of fun to watch them play together.

After we got ome from the picnic, Madelyn got sick & threw up all over me, the sofa, and the floor. 3 outfits later she fell asleep and slept for 8 hours straight. In the morning I was very concerned to find that her diaper was bone dry she had not urinated at all over night. We quickly fed her, and today she seems to be doing fine - no vomiting, no fever, good appetite & normal urinary function. We are keeping a close eye on her today. Despite all of that, the Easter bunny did stop by out house last night, and gave Maddie a basket full of candy (for mom and dad), bubbles, a stuffed rabbit, rice cereal for when she starts solids, an infant gum cleaner, and some shoes for when she is a little bigger. She wasn't really very excited about her visit from the Easter bunny, but I am sure she will be next year.... :-)
