The Thrid and Fourth Months

The third and fourth month have been full of new experiences. Somewhere along the way, he discovered his hands and grabs everything he sees now. He met more family and friends, and by thirteen weeks, he was rolling over. We have to strap him into everything now, and diaper changes are way more of a challenge! He is a squirmy little guy. He barely sits still for a minute. He is learning to sit up and no longer needs any help holding his head up (not for a long time now). Madden got a virus at 13 weeks, and having a sick baby is heart breaking! But the hardest thing we've had to go through yet happened on May 17th when Stephen left for deployment. We took Madden to the beach for the first time that day where they were able to spend some quality time together. We miss him so much, and I know he misses us too! It was so hard for him to say goodbye to his son.

Madden's First 2 Months

I'm finally able to get on here and post an update on the family. Things have been crazy but wonderful! The first two months flew by, and Madden got to meet lots of new people! I didn't get much sleep (and still don't), but watching him grow has been amazing! His first smile came during his fourth week, and he started laughing the next week. He spent his first night in his crib when he was eight weeks old...although I don't think I slept a wink!
