A Picnic in the Park

     Wow! It's hard to believe that Madelyn is already four weeks old. I don't like saying she is a month already. This makes me realize how fast the time is going to fly by. She is still a little peanut, but noticeably longer - she is almost too long to wear some of her newborn footed onesies. :( I am trying everyday to follow everyone's advice - just enjoy every moment, even the sleepless nights (we've definitely had lots of those lately!), because she'll only be this size once, and it's so special.

     I've been wanting to get on and write and post pictures everyday, but it's amazing how fast the time flies when you are at home with a newborn. Most days I barely have time to hop in the shower, which is something I make myself do every day without exception. Between nursing, changing diapers, and rocking little Missy, the day is gone before it's even begun. I am having a hard time getting basic things done, especially on difficult days when it seems Madelyn only wants to be held and won't let us put her down.

     I am building my confidence taking her out and about in the neighborhood on walks, but definitely take advantage of days that Billy has off so we can do things together as a family outside of the home as much as possible. The weather has been just too beautiful, so on Sunday we decided to go to the park for a picnic. "Gigi" and "PaPaw" came along, and we made it a point to bring Miss Bella, too. She was definitely glad we did.

Bella was in need of some fun time with Grandpa, for sure.

What a beautiful day. We can't wait to enjoy another day at the park very soon!
