happy.


This little baby is one happy girl.  Seriously Josh and I lucked out getting such a happy baby (most of the time).  She's 4 months old and growing too fast.  I know I post about her constantly but I thought this picture was too cute to pass up.  A few things about our Maddie lately:

She is such a good sleeper at night and usually sleeps for 11 hours - sometimes we even get 12.
On the other hand, she hates taking naps unless she is being held... something we're working on.
She tried rice cereal and baby food for the first time a few days ago.  She did better than I thought she would but I'm thinkin we might wait a bit.
She seriously loves sitting up.  Obviously she can't on her own yet, but she loves to be held upright and looking around all the time.  She always is trying to sit up.
She is such a GIRL and her little personality already shows it. 
She definitely has her own personality and is strong willed.  Although she's pretty easy going most of the time, when she gets upset or something is bugging her she lets you know.
She is still totally in love with Josh and lights up whenever she sees him.  He can get her to laugh so much and she is so content just hanging out with him doing whatever.
She loves her baths - I'm hoping this translates to her loving the pool here in a bit.

She's growin too fast but we're having so much fun watching her grow.

On a side note... my blog roll needs some help.  I've been needing to do this forever, but leave me your blog address if you have one!

our jersey shore.

Summer is here in NJ and we're lovin it.  Maddie and I spent part of the day today and yesterday at the beach enjoying the 80+ weather (which was welcomed with open arms after a week of rain).  I took these pictures last week before the crowds of people flocked to the beach.  Seriously overnight the beach went from having no one to being totally packed.  So pretty though.

month four


Maddie is four months old today - how can I pause time?  She is such a doll and has the sweetest personality.  She is learning so many new things and is curious about everything.  We love our Maddie!

Beautiful New Jersey


 

Life is good in beautiful New Jersey.  This has definitely been a new experience for us and we are loving it. We live on the boardwalk right across the street from the ocean - totally new for us Utahns.

The sunrises here are beautiful. Waking up just before 6 most mornings (thanks Maddie), we can see the sun rising over the ocean.  We also live across the street from a club that plays awesome music with tons of bass on weekends until the early hours of the morning.  Turns out they also play this awesome music on Cinco de Mayo - who knew?

Big Apple, Little Baby

Last Saturday we spent the day in New York City for our anniversary.  We live so close and it was awesome to be able to jump on the train and get off at Penn Station.  It was Josh's first time and the weather was beautiful.

And who knew having a baby was so popular on the east coast? Or probably anywhere outside of Utah for that matter.  We had so many people comment to us on our baby, including a business man who came up to us and congratulated us on our having a fantastic baby, and a 14 year old riding his bike who yelled to us that we had a "nice baby."  I guess babies aren't quite the every day, every place occurrence here quite like there are back home.



    

One year ago...

I can't believe it's already been a year - but at the same time, considering all that has happened in the past year, I can (we do have a 3 month old baby after all).  What an incredible and very eventful year it has been.  I'm so lucky to be married to the most wonderful person in the entire world.  Really.
