Boise

Over the weekend we headed up to Boise to visit family and watch the Jerome boys play at the state tournament. We had the pleasure to stay with my grandpa and grandma Hammerquist. This is the second time Madison has been able to visit them. She also met her great uncle David, uncle Tad and second cousins Reid and Cohen for the first time. She was very good and slept all the way there and back. We are planning to take her to Montana this coming weekend to visit Cory's family…so we hope to have more pictures later from that!

RSV Queens

First we found out that Madison’s cousin Paisley had RSV…then a few days later Madison started getting a cough. Well, it slowly got worse over the weekend and she started to get a runny nose, and then I called the doctor and they said to bring her in. So, I did and the doctor said he didn’t think she had RSV, but he wanted to have her tested for it. Well, sure enough she had it! So this last week Madison and I have pretty much been home bodies because the doctor said not to take her anywhere! So…it was nice because this last weekend Andrea and Paisley came to visit us and we had a wonderful time seeing them. These are some pictures of Madison today and also some of Madison, Paisley and Andrea when they came. Paisley seems to like Madison a little more now…she gives great hugs!

Getting Un-little

As you can see Madison is some what of a fist sucker...she refuses to take a pacifier!

A little bit of a double chin (or double butt chin)!

Our little Madison is starting to grow more and more. She still has her blue eyes so far and I am hoping she keeps them! She smiles quite a bit now and is starting to jibber jabber a little. As you can see I was getting a little carried away taking pictures of her.

Madison's Blessing

So, I was told I needed to update my blog. Well it just so happens that I do have some pictures of Madison from this last Sunday of her before she was blessed at church by her dad, who did an excellent job. She looks so much like her dad (I think) and she’s adorable. Paisley is so funny. My mom and my sister tried to put Madison on Paisley’s lap, but Paisley just glared and started pushing her off! So that is why they are sitting next to each other in the other pictures (I can just see the cousin rivalry already!!) But anyway, what cute girls they are!

1st Bath Pictures

I have been meaning to put these up on here, but I kept forgetting. Anyway this was hard for me because I hated it when she cried in the beginning (now I am more okay with it). But thank goodness Grandma Davis and Aunt Andrea were there to show me how. Now Madison actually seems to like her baths (and it’s so nice not to have to worry about her umbilical cord). Oh and I weighed her Sunday night and she now weighs a whopping 9 pounds! I call her the chunky dunk!

growing so fast!

Daddy's favorite time to hold Madison!

I thought she looked so cute in this hat!

I know you wouldn’t believe it but Madison is just growing up so fast. While I was holding her last night she laughed in her sleep…it was so cute! Today Madison is one month old and it’s her aunt Toni’s birthday. Madison is slowly but surely starting to fit into more clothes…which is awesome. She took her first big trip at about 2 ½ weeks…as Grandma Davis and I took her to see Great Grandpa and Grandma Hammerquist in Boise. (And of course I forgot my camera!) She was very good and slept all the way there and all the way back. It’s amazing how my body has adjusted to the smaller amount of sleep I’m getting…I would never have thought it was possible! But even though I don’t get the sleep, its well worth it as you can see.

1 Week Pictures

Madison and Grandma Orr

Paisley

Madison's first naked picture!

Here are some of Madison’s 1 week pictures that Lucinda Higley took for us as a gift. She did a great job! We also had a family picture taken too. Since Madison was on her own time schedule (which meant she was eating when the pictures were supposed to be taken)…her cousin Paisley stepped in for a second and posed for the camera.
Anyway just to update a little on our family, Cory is very busy coaching and teaching (so we love weekends when we get to see him-oh and he loves to see us too!). Madison and I have had the pleasure of having grandma Davis at home, which has now came to an end (we are very sad because she has to go back to work), helping us and letting me take a shower for the day!! Oh and I just added some extra pictures of Madison on here that I took so you can see the little chubby girl growing. And by the way…Andrea…this takes way too much effort…so don’t expect it too often, but I will try my best.
