TOO BIG TOO FAST!

When Madi smiles she smiles all the way from her toes!

Madilyn is 11 weeks old now and is just getting too big too fast! I think with Malarie I loved seeing her get bigger and learning new things that I just loved seeing her grow up. With Mason I was just trying to keep up with Mal and I was looking forward to the day when they could play together. Now with Madi I realize how FAST it goes and I want to just stop time.
I just went to her 2 week check up(a little late but they kept rescheduling me) and she weight 11 lbs. even and was 23 in. long! Crazy! I love just holding her and breathing her in. I know that sounds funny but she just smells so good!
Madi has been such a good baby. Last night she slept through the night and this morning I finally woke her up at 8:45 so I could feed her. My favorite thing that she is doing right now is, when she smiles and her binky is in and right before it falls out she sucks really fast and pulls it right back in.
She loves her big sister and her big brother and like me they can't get enough of her! I love seeing my older kids be sweet with the baby when I don't prompt them to. Mason will see her binky fall out an run over to put it back in for her. He is so soft and gentle with her. He loves to hold her and hive her sweet kisses on her head. Malarie tells me at least everyday, "I just love having a baby sister in our house." and to that I reply, " and she just loves having a big sister." Malarie will do anything for Madi, run and get diapers, spit up rags, binkis, and she loves to babysit her while I get in the shower. She is so good with her. Malaries favorite thing to do is getting Madi to smile and she is very good at it.
This morning after I got done feeding Madi Mason and Malarie climbed in my bed and all four of us just snuggled. Once Madi woke up we just oohed and ahhed over her. I think we almost got a giggle out of her she was smiling so big. I was hoping Trav would come home early and be able to catch it on camera it was just so awesome. I love little moments in my life like that one this morning. I love my kids and I love being their mom. I am really so blessed!
Look at her dimples... I love them!

Oh bebe!! Such a cute smile, and I know what you mean about savoring the babyhood. It's sad, but I think it does take until about the 3rd one to really enjoy when they are babies. You just don't realize before then how much fun they are and how fast they grow up. She is getting so big and is so darling! Can't wait to see her again! (Oh, and you! ;)
