Our first attempt at a long distance car ride coincided with Madeline's one month birthday! Once I learned what a great, content baby Madeline is and especially that she lets us get some sleep at night, I decided that we should head down to the lake for the 4th of July. I had originally thought we'd never make it, but was ready to take on the challenge.
We had a wonderful weekend and I'm so glad we went. Maddy beats Thomas' record first visit to the lake at 4 months old by three whole months! The boys had a great time fishing and both caught their very first fish -thanks Uncle Butch! They also did a little swimming and got a boat ride in before we had to leave on Sunday. We had lots of great family time and saw several friends as well.
Maddy continues to be a great baby and in the last two weeks has started going longer stretches at night. Usually one 4 hour stretch, then every two to three hours after that. It has definitely given me more energy during the day! She still eating very well and by the first of the month is weighing in at 9 lbs. 4 oz.! I just can't believe how fast she's growing and filling out - it's so rewarding!
The boys also started swimming lessons this week and the added distraction seems to be helping. Andrew is getting some much-needed extra attention and it will provide me with at least one reason to get Thomas out and active while he's home with me for the next six weeks.
