meeting Maddie

We have a new niece/cousin! Madelyn was born on August 11, and we went down to meet her when she was about two weeks old.  She's so squishy and cute.  I love her.  And the girls love her too; they kept asking to hold her, and when Kate holds, she also kisses.  It's very sweet:)





While we were down for the weekend, we also took the girls fishing.  Kate's been wanting to go for a while, so she got a fishing pole and went out to the pond.  Both girls caught a fish, but Liv was definitely more daring when it came to touching the fish.  Nobody wanted to touch the worms:)

Will - 5 Months

In August, Will turned five months old! Slow down, little buddy!

Will is getting so interactive and playful now.  He loves to watch his sisters run around and be crazy, and he's liking sitting up much more.  He can roll in both directions, but still doesn't do it much.  He is getting much more coordinated to be able to grab onto (and play with) toys and other objects.  He's a total thumb sucker and his neck strength is getting pretty good.  Sometimes he likes peek-a-boo, but other times it just scares him.  He's making cute little babbling sounds and even some crazy pterodactyl screams.

He is sleeping better during the day, usually 3-4 naps each day, and at least one is longer.  Nighttime is a different story.  Let's not talk about how he still wakes up 2-4 times a night.  Someday we'll all get some sleep...sigh.

Will has the absolute cutest little giggle, and daddy is the best at getting him to laugh.  He smiles at his sisters and I throughout the day, but when daddy gets home, he gets the biggest smiles of all.  

He's wearing six month clothes, and size 3 diapers (when he's not in cloth).
