4 Years Ago Today...

I married my best friend on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.  We've had a beautiful life together since!

 

Lately we've been...

Hanging Out With Mom.

Brushing our two teeth.

Playing in our jumper.

Talking to Lexi constantly.  Lexi was really thrilled I made her sit to take a picture.

Sleeping all crazy.

Makin' a mess and loving it! 

Playing with her basketball.  (or...trying to eat it.)

Oldies

No I'm not going to talk about a favorite Beatles song...
These 3 month pictures were taken well...over 3 months ago.  I've been working on Mady's First 6 Months Photo Album over at Snapfish and I finally scanned in some of Mady's professional 3 month pictures.  

My Favorite!

Auntie Em

Mady is so blessed to have a great Auntie Em.  She is actually one of my best friends, Emily P, from back home in Oklahoma.  We've been friends since she was born 1 month and 3 days after me.  She is my opposite in many ways.  She always wears nice clothes and I always wear t-shirts.  She didn't own a sports bra till 11th grade and I can't live without them. You get the picture.  Anyway, Auntie Em always spoils Miss Mady with clothes and hair bows. You may remember this post about St. Patty's day.  The cute flower and skirt were all Auntie Em.  So last week, when we were in Oklahoma, Miss Mady received some adorable shirts from Auntie Em.  Here is just one example:

 Mady loves her new clothes and we can't wait to see you again Auntie Em!

To my Daddy...

I love the way we snuggle before bedtime.  

I love the way you always make me laugh by tickling my belly or my back.  I am super ticklish like Mommy.  

I love the way you spend time with me on the floor playing with my toys.  

I love the way you always kiss me goodbye in the morning before work.  I may look like I'm asleep but I know you're there.  

I love the way you love Mommy and always give her big hugs and kisses. 

I love the way you always tell me how beautiful I am.  

But most of all, I love that you're MY daddy.

Swimming!

Today Mady went swimming for the first time!  We had so much fun with my nephew and niece, Titus and Rielly. 


Before getting in the water!  Her expression looks like she's a little unsure...



Titus, Rielly, and Baby Mady.

First time in the water!

She did NOT like this floaty thing..

Mady loves her cousin Ty!

Papa and Mady!  (Sorry this picture is turned....)

Mady got tired quickly and it was time to go!

Sleeping

Jeremy and I always comment on how sweet Miss Mady looks when she sleeps.  Lately, however, it has been fun to see what kind of crazy position she is in when I peak in on her sleeping.  Since she has become more "mobile" in rolling over, it has been hilarious to see where she ends up in the morning or after naps.  Here's just a sampling.

This was yesterday when we should have been napping.  Instead we were rolling over and trying to take off our clothes.

Sorry for the night vision.  We didn't want little girl to wake up:-)

We thought it was fun to play with red bird instead of nap.  Sooo...red bird has officially been taken off the mirror.

Believe it or not, she actually is sleeping with the edge of the mirror in her mouth.  I guess it was better than her pacifier.

This is how we were this morning!  Feet up on the side of the crib.
