3 Months Old

Dear Maddi,

Sorry I'm a few days late with this post! You are officially 3 months old and growing every day. This past month has been exciting for you, your first thanksgiving, your christening and getting ready for Christmas.

A tragedy occurred this weekend in CT. I am sharing this with you because I want to be honest with you about the world and what is going on around you. On Friday, a man 20 year old forced himself into an elementary school and killed 26 students and teachers. I don't want this to scare or upset you about going to school, but rather remind you that in school, you should strive to be the best you can be and learn any and everything you can. We want you to succeed everyday and will always support you.

You continue to amaze me. Listening to you talk makes me so happy. You wake up every morning ready for a full conversation. You are lifting your head more often and for longer. You'll be sitting up in no time. You gave us a couple nights of full sleep but it didn't last. Hopefully you'll realize how much we like sleep soon! 

It was so nice to have you around for thanksgiving this year. Although you didn't get to eat any turkey or stuffing, you still sat with us at the table. We celebrated thanksgiving with our family (mommy, daddy, Charlie and Abby), Grandmom and Grandpop K, Grandmom F, aunt Nicki, and your great grandpop and Chloe, of course. Your cousins came over later for dessert.

A few days after Thanksgiving was your christening. Aunt Nicki and Uncle Steve are your godparents. We chose them because we believe they will be great example for you as you grow. You looked gorgeous in your dress and the party was fun! It was nice to see everyone celebrate your special day. You cried during the baptism, but it's okay, you were hungry. You were baptized because it is important for you to have God in your life. Always trust in God. Things might not always turn out how you want, but don't lose faith. Keep believing.

Christmas is coming really soon. 4 more days!!! You won't remember it this year but you've been a good girl so I'm sure Santa will spoil you!!

Happy 3 Months, Madeline!

Can't wait to spend the next week with you!

Love,
Mom
