Big 3 months!!!

Oh my how time has flown by!! Madyson is 3 months old and probably the happiest baby I've seen in a long time! She is always willing to give you a big smile and laugh just when you talk to her! At the beginning of this week I struggled with trying to figure out Madyson's sleeping schedule... It seemed she was extremely cranky when it go to the evening... I could not figure out why.. it was quite frustrating.. But then I seeked help via the internet a few friends and I soon figured out... She was tired.. she needed an evening nap.. I knew she was tired however I didn't want her to go to sleep at 5 and then wake up super early the next morning.. I was constantly afraid to put her to sleep then..

But then I figured out if I layed her down between 3 and 4 she takes a small nap.. that gets her till 7pm and then she's ready for bedtime. I suppose I'm blessed to have a baby who loves to sleep. She's only awake for 1 hour to 1 1/2 hour at a time... I also feel like I have mastered the art of putting Madyson down at night.. I have been able to put her down to sleep and she sucks her thumb and falls asleep on her own already!! I kind of missed rocking her to sleep, but its best this way.. She doesn't like the rocking her to sleep as much as I do I suppose...

I spoke to my sister-in-law and she said none of her kids ever slept that much... so once again, I'm blessed. Although there are times when I get sad she sleeps so much because I want to spend more time with her. However, I know I need to enjoy these moments because they probably won't last to long.

With Christmas around the corner I know that our house is going to be very, very small!! I know Mady is going to get so many Christmas presents and I can only hope we can find a place for everything!

After Thanksgiving we got some family pictures taken.. here are a few that are my favorites!!
