Lately

It's been a while since our last post. Lots of new things going on around here. Grandad and Nana came to visit. We had a good time and Jonathan and I got to go see our first movie since Madelyn was born - "Slumdog Millionaire." Highly recommend it!


This was before we all went to breakfast at Cracker Barrel - a Queen family tradition! Madelyn even tried some pancake. She wasn't real thrilled with it, but she did pretty good in the restaurant.

She has her first tooth (it's on the bottom left.) I'm still trying to get a good picture of it, but she's constantly covering it with her tongue.

She caught a cold, then a brief stomach virus, followed by an ear infection in both ears. We're professionals now at dispensing antibiotic and she's great about taking it. At the doctor's visit last Wednesday she weighed in at 18 lbs. 14.5 ozs. They didn't measure her length, but she's almost outgrown her infant carrier. We'll be purchasing a "real" car seat within the week.

She also feeds herself fingerfoods now. This consists mostly of puffs, yogurt melts, and cheerios. We haven't tried anything else yet, but it's exciting to see her developing so quickly in this area.

Now that she's feeling better, we took advantage of it to take some pictures.

She almost looks cross-eyed in this one. You can't read her shirt, but it says, "Mommy's Lucky Charm." Do you see Gracie in this picture??


A close up...


My favorite. Enough said.

Photo shoot

So, Madelyn and I were just hanging out while Jonathan went on an ice cream run. (Have I ever mentioned how AWESOME he is???)
Anyway, we decided to have an impromptu photo shoot. Here are some of my favorites...




Have I mentioned that she pretty much LOVES to stick her tongue out in all her pictures now??

A bit blurry, but we were both giggling...



Now that's more like it...

Fashionista

We were in San Antonio for Valentine's Day weekend and had lots of fun. Madelyn didn't get to see the Alamo (too windy and chilly) but she did find her way to the San Marcos Outlet Mall.
Here are her new sunglasses that she picked out. Jonathan says she looks like Elton John. Michael Kors eat your heart out!!



And because I keep forgetting to post a picture of her bath seat, here's one. It took me forever to find a bath seat like this. Apparently the old yellow kind that would just suction cup to the bottom of the tub aren't safe. This is one crazy contraption, but she loves it because it means she can play with her bath toys in the big tub!

Super Bowl

So, we took it pretty easy this past weekend. Spring is always busy for me at work and this year is no exception. So, we made some chili & cheese dip, chili, and ate lots of chips. Not so healthy, but definitely tasty and perfect Super Bowl food! Madelyn's a TV and sports junky, so she even watched some of it with us. Here are some pics for you to enjoy.
