Madeline is 3 months old!

Madeline and Jacob.

Jacob and I figured that we should have a minor celebration for her 3 month 'birthday', especially considering it's kind of a milestone. Having previously celebrated her 1 month birthday, we also plan on celebrating her 6 month and then 12 month birthdays. So Tuesday,  Jacob and I grilled some chicken breast and made (lemon butter) mashed potatoes and had a little cake in her honor.

Three flowers, perfect.

We got this cake at Publix. It was fantastic.

She watched her daddy light the candles.

We lit the candles and sang 'Happy Birthday' to her. It was fun and she smiled so big when we both sang to her. After we sang about her being three months old, Jacob helped Madeline blow out her candles.

After the main festivities, Little Miss Maddle got to wear one of the hand-made hand-me-downs from my grandmother. We took tons of pictures, but here's my favorite:

 She looked so sweet in this dress.

Sorry it's so photo heavy, but I have so many pictures I love!

One month old!

As of January 15th, 2011, little miss Madeline turned one month old. Jacob and I had decided that we were going to celebrate milestones (1 month, 6 months, 1 year) until her first birthday. In order to properly celebrate, we went to the grocery store and got ourselves a submarine sandwich, chips, sodas and two jumbo cupcakes. We went to another store and picked up some 'happy birthday' party hats, and then we headed to the park.

When we got to the park, we snuggled her up in some warm clothes and the blanket her great-grandmother made for her; due to the overcast day and the fact that it was late in the afternoon, it was quite chilly.

Madeline napped through most of the 'celebration' (which is fine, because it gave us time to eat), and after we finished our sandwiches, we put on our hats, lit the candles and took some pictures.

I know it may be silly, but I'm glad we did it and I'm even more glad we have some pictures to show for it.

I love my baby girl so much, it's hard to believe she's already a month old!
