4 months

Our sweet little girl is 4 months old!  Time really needs to slow down.  She is changing so fast.

Madeleine was very cooperative this month for her pictures and I couldn't narrow down my pictures any further!

• She weighs 11 lbs 9 oz
• On April 19th, at 13 weeks, she hit her father's birth weight (10 lbs 11 oz).  His mother is superwoman.  I can't even imagine. 
• She is quite the giggler - especially for her daddy
• Wearing 0-3 month clothes
• In size 1 diapers
• Is gaining an interest in things other than her parents holding her
• She spent two weeks being loved on by her RieRie while mommy went back to work.  I'm pretty sure they are both totally smitten with each other.
• Maddie is gaining interest in toys especially soft things she can pull to her mouth
• She LOVES to stand
• She  LOVES playing with her tongue 
• Maddie now officially has a stay at home mom (CRAZY!)
• She is sooo expressive.  Her eyebrows say so much.  She never leaves us wondering if she is happy or sad
• Madeleine has started doing some reaching for things on her tray while sitting in her bumbo (Rie Rie taught her that neat trick!).
• She sleeps great at night 7-9 hours but only catnaps during the day. 
• Maddie has started some separation anxiety from mommy.
• She visited the zoo for the first time (she was up for the gardens, slept through most of the animals, then had a total meltdown and we left!).
•  She fake coughs.
• After she sneezes she says Ooooo every single time.  It cracks us up.
• Met the Easter Bunny with her baby friends then celebrated her first Easter.
• Talks ALL THE TIME.
• Continues to make sure that her parents fall more and more in love with her every day.
• Celebrated our first Mother's Day - Maddie gave Mommy an iphone!  She is so sweet.

I love Rie Rie
