Madison is Four Months Old.

Today Madison is four months old. We went to her well baby appointment this morning. Her current stats are:
Weight: 12 pounds 0 ounces
Length: 24¼ inches
Head circumference: 40 cm


She got many vaccines, but seems to have recovered swiftly. Logan got a nasal flu vaccine while we where there. If you ever have the option nasal is the way to go. He was happy in about 30 seconds.

Madison is cooing a lot and trying hard to roll over. I think it will be soon. She has outgrown the newborn clothes. She can hold her head up really high when she is on her tummy.

Logan loves his baby sister most of the time. He always wants to carry her and have her sit on his lap. Also, whenever he is stalling at bedtime he says “kiss baby Ma (Madison).” That and having to go potty are the two requests I always allow him to stall with. Don’t get the wrong idea though; there are plenty of times when he tries to push Madison off my lap so he can sit there.

Logan and I are going to start officially potty training really soon. I figured I can’t start before I get back from Spokane this weekend otherwise Matt will have to take over. Logan is still in love with trains. Last week we rode the MAX to the zoo and he loved that. We just got him a train table this week and he loves it. Sometimes he treats trains like babies and wraps them up in blankets (baby washcloths) and carries them around. He still calls his tummy his baby because Baby Ma was in mine. He also loves the Wow-wows (fire trucks). He came up with that name himself because that is the sounds a fire truck makes, right?

We, meaning I, are loving our new house. I don’t think it would be possible for me to keep my sanity and be a parent of two without the garage and the fenced backyard. I think Matt secretly likes being a homeowner. There is now plenty of room for his toys, and he can own some real tools now. Matt is gearing up for his big hunting trip to Wyoming this year. Hopefully it goes as well as last time and Dan and him get their antelopes within the first hour.
