Growing like a weed

Side note - I thought I had published the last post forever ago.... Oops!

Madison is growing like a weed!  She is changing so fast - developing mentally and physically.  I feel like it was just yesterday that she couldn't hold up her own head and now she is rolling around, smiling, laughing, grabbing everything to put in her mouth, wanting to stand all the time, trying to talk, cutting teeth, finding her fingers and toes, etc.  It is crazy!  I feel like each week she is learning something new.  This week she has really stared rolling around, especially when she wants something.  I keep trying to work on sitting, but she would rather stand.  She is so funny!  She will straighten her whole body while I try to sit her down and almost refuse to bend at the waist.

I have decided that these are the glory days!!  She is just so much fun to be around and play with.  She is so interactive and expressive - she will look and laugh and even make some silly faces back at you.

She went swimming the first time right around the time she turned 5 months - she loved it!!  Luckily the pool wasn't cold so it kinda felt like a bath, and she loves bath time :)

She turned 5 months old last Saturday (June 2) and we celebrated by going to our first Giants game with some friends.  We had a great time!  Both teams wore throw back jerseys and to make it better the Giants won!  It was also Madison's first time on a train - she loved it!

As for Patrick and me.... Patrick's work is going well.  He is really busy, but he is still enjoying it.  I am adjusting to being home, having a baby, etc.  Last week was a really great week - the first balanced week I feel like I have had (now if I can some how repeat that).  We are so thankful for all the friends we have made and continue trying to grow in those relationships.

We have bought our tickets for the summer and Christmas now!!  We are so excited to see everyone and I cannot wait to get my hands on some Chick-fil-A!  But seriously, I am so excited for everyone to meet Madison and introduce her to humidity and the South.  WOOT!
