J and M Porton Time's: Catching Up...

Maddox-Pink Tutu

I had always heard, "they grow up so fast," well who ever coined that phrase, knew what they were talking about! Just to let you all know, I am not a fan of how fast this is all going!! ......a lot has happened. First of all Spring Break....Let me start by saying that this is the first spring break in six years that Jason and I have not been 'ablowin and goin" and it was so WONDERFUL!! We started our spring break with a visit from Pop's and Mammie (Mimi), of course Maddox loved not ever being put down. On Monday, we started with running and off to the park and swinging and starting to mark off our "Spring Break To-Do List." Needless to say, we didn't get much done. Just lot's of cuddling with Maddox. On Wednesday we did go to Maddox's 4 month appointment, she weighed 15lbs 12 ou and was 26 1/2 inches long. It has been a month and she has gotten so much bigger!!! As her doctor said, she's a "big eater." She also started sleeping in her own bed, before you panic, she was not in ours, she was in the pack-n-play in our room. A little bit of an adjustment for momma, but Maddox did great. At one point we woke up in the middle of the night and she was talking and Jason and I just laughed at her, precious memories!

GREEN BEANS!!!

Now a month later, we are eating baby food 3 times a day, loving everything we put in front of her, sleeping through the night, I am counting my blessings of 8 hour sleep. She is sitting up, smiling and laughing all the time. I know I am probably a little biased, but she is just the happiest kid, we are so blessed.
