Posing

Just a few more pictures of our little sweetheart that I thought people might enjoy seeing. I am just trying to keep people updated. These last few pictures are ones that I wanted to add because Kristen can't get internet access so I am adding them while I am on campus. Isn't she adorable though.

All tuckered out.

This is daddy daughter bonding time. Mom would feed her and Dad would burp her. Unfortunately, she always falls asleep while getting burped so they end up hanging out together for like three to four hours, or until the next feeding. Dad has gotten smarter since then though because he has grandma burp Madi or he sets her down to sleep on her own.

BYU...

Just thought it was cute and thought I should get her rooting for a good team from the beginning...well, not always a good team, but at least they try.

Active girl...

Boy how we love playing with her. Madison is so much fun and is getting more and more interactive as we go. She still loves to move her hands and feet all over the place. The doctor said that she grabbed his finger as he was helping her out so ever since the birth she has loved her hands up in the air. Must be a thrill seeker like dad.

This is our little sweetheart before we took her to church. We thought she looked really cute with her dress and headband. She is staying awake more often and just loving everyday of life. We think she is sleeping pretty well through the night too.

Madi and Mommy's first fieldtrip

Madi and I went on a fieldtrip to the mall...she was a wonderful sport and we had a great time. She slept the whole time and I even succeeded in buying the things I needed (and a couple things I didn't need, but bought for her).

Everything is going really well. We're getting the nursing thing down and adjusting well to the new family of three. Kevin sleeps with earplugs in at night so that he can get some sleep and I get my real sleep in during the early morning when Madi sleeps for longer stretches. We've had a few great nights where she has slept from 10 to 3, but those are only on the nights when we torture her by keeping her awake from 7 to 10.

Nights have also gotten a lot better since my mom came into town. Now instead of getting up to feed her and then taking another hour to change her and get her back to sleep, I feed her and then hand her off for the burping and changing and lulling back to sleep. Supposedly she is getting better about going back to sleep too...according to mom.

Well, my minutes are up for internet time :o) Maybe I'll just post another picture off my phone.

We apologize for no updates or posts. We don't have access to the internet at home, so the rare occasions that we get online are usually either while at work or in class so we only have a few minute to take care of the essentials.

Our 30 second update is this...

We've decided to name our baby girl Madison Naomi Miller (explanation of significance forthcoming). She'll go by Madison or Madi...or whatever. She is growing and changing everyday and more alert as well.

Mom and Madison are doing great! Grandma Skeen just came into town yesterday so now Mom is catching up on some sleep and having a grand time.

We love you all and wish we could be with you. We can't wait for Madi to meet all of you, our favorite people. (And I mean that, there are only a select few who know this blog exists)
