Three Months Old, Starting Preschool, and More!

Lots of things have been happening here since I last updated. My big helper Madillyn started preschool last week! She's attending the local Lutheran Church Preschool two days a week and LOVING it! She comes home and talks all about her day, her friends, the crafts, you name it. This week the lesson was all about mail. So, the teacher asked each child what they enjoy and then they got to walk to the mailbox and send their letter home to mom and dad. Here's a picture of Madilyn's letter so you can see what her favorites are :)


On our days home we seem to have a never ending supply of chores. But, somewhere in there we have a little fun too! Madilyn loves to cook along with Mommy. Here she is making some Oatmeal Scotchies to send to work with Daddy (after she makes sure they're edible, of course!).


 Mmmm, cookie dough! A girl after her Mama's own heart. I am a complete sucker for cookie dough!

We bring Grace into the kitchen so she can "help" as well. However, this is almost always how she ends up :)

When we're not cleaning or baking, we love to hit the Aquarium. Here Madilyn and her friend Madden are learning about the sea lions.

Madi has really taken a liking to her sister and adores bath time. Really, she loves any time she gets to sit next to Grace. She doesn't even mind her sister taking over most of the bath. (Truth be told, she often tries to cover Grace with those foam letters. She thinks it is hilarious. We're working on it...)



Grace is now three months old and her little personality is so fun! She is SUCH a happy baby. Her little gummy smile melts me every time. She's cooing all the time and really is just awesome. Here is a little video we took just before her bath this evening. She had to make sure she got her thoughts in on this post too.

Of course we won't have an official weight on her for another month at her 4 month check up, but I did step on the scale with her this weekend. Looks like she's hanging out around 14lbs :)
