Fall is here...

We have had a busy past few weekends....

Two weekends ago we had Derek's sister's wedding in VA. We were so lucky to have mom and Richard come for a long weekend to help with Madelyn since both Derek and I were in the wedding. It was a fun weekend and great time celebrating Whitney and Andy's special day. Madelyn was a trooper, though she had a few meltdowns. I think the weekend was a little overwhelming for her between being away from home, Derek and I being away from her a lot and then being passed to so many people. She still was such a great girl and looked adorable in all her fancy dresses thanks for her Nana! The weekend had many good laughs and stories:)

This past weekend we got to take Madelyn to her first pumpkin patch with some good friends. We were able to get some really cute pictures of her with the pumpkins. It also was the first cold day in NC which made it really feel like Fall. As each holiday approaches they are so much more exciting now that we get to share them with her:)

Today was Madelyn's first day going with me to Mooresville. She now goes to a lady who lives right by school each day. It is really nice to have the extra time with her in the morning and getting to see her right after school! It however makes for some chaotic mornings trying to get all of us up, packed, ready and out the door by 7am! 

We are looking forward to the next few weekends not being so busy and getting to enjoy some rest and relaxation time! Hard to believe it will be Thanksgiving and even Christmas before we know it!!! Every month we reach another milestone for Madelyn and it amazes me how quick she is growing. She will be 4 months in just over week. We will go back to the Dr. the end of this month for her 4 month appt. I am anxious to see how much she has grown! Some of her new tricks are; rolling from side to side, putting her feet in her mouth, giggling. She also has found her voice and at times will talk VERY loud. She has gotten really good at her tummy time and holding her head up. 
All pretty for Aunt Whitney and Uncle Andy's wedding!!
