First I had Russel, now I have a Cabbage Patch Maddie!! Our good friend Dana made a very special hat for Miss Maddie and the results are nothing less than fabulous.

Madeline goes swimming
After a morning spent hiking, Maddie went for her first swim in our pool. Daddy got in the water with her. Mommy paddled her around in our pool kayak. She didn’t seem to mind the water and liked it when she was held up in the air and then dipped in.

4 Months Old!!!
MADELINE AT FOUR MONTHS
Weight: 13lbs 8oz Height: 25.4 in
Eyes: Blue Hair: Auburn(ish?)
Highlights from her fourth month:
Rolled over for the first time (6/1)
Started capturing her legs (6/7)
Got her big toe in her mouth (6/10)
Maddie has gotten very strong in the past month. She kept breaking out of her swaddle blankets so she sleeps with her arms and legs free these days. This means she gets to sleep all night long with her arms up next to her head, just where she likes them. She learned to slam her legs down on the mattress with authority and it kept her awake for a few nights until she decided that she had mastered her new skill. Next, she managed to capture her legs, and a week later her toes were in her mouth!! Her neck is very strong and she has started to enjoy tummy time. As a birthday present to Poppo, she rolled over for the first time on his birthday. She likes to “Superman” on Mommy’s legs and can sit in her Bumbo with some assistance. She can move things back and forth and rotate them in her hands and likes to help feed herself her bottles. She blows bubbles and makes raspberries when her hands aren’t completely stuck in her mouth. She has started babbling and squealing and has a little laugh. Can’t wait to hear a full out giggle. She is facinated by the baby in the mirror and has started to show interest in her “fur-brother” Lucas. She enjoys being outside and taking walks with him.
Dan’s 1st Father’s Day
Madeline spent a fantastic Father’s Day celebrating her Daddy, Poppy and Poppo. Maddie was in a great mood despite a nail clipping tragedy that left her with a sock for a hand. (She’s ok, there are still 5 fingers under the sock)

Poppo’s Birthday
Maddie had a fun time celebrating Poppo’s birthday. She rolled over with excitement when she found out she was going to drive Poppo’s fancy car. She settled down when she found out she was just going to sit in it. A girl can dream…
