12 weeks & Easter!!

I really thought I would be so much better at updating this! I think it's because there are like 4 websites I have to upload pictures on that sometimes I forget some of them :)
Maddie turned 12 weeks this past Saturday! I can't believe my little peanut is 12 weeks old!! People are so right when they say they grow up so fast. I remember her being so tiny and everyone telling me just wait until she is 3 months old, it gets so much easier. I never thought we'd make it here!! But they were right! Maddie is such a joy! Her sleeping is so much better. She sleeps about 10 hours a night, and only wakes up once...I couldn't ask for more! She naps great as well. I have learned that my child loves to sleep. I was trying to keep her up because I thought she was sleeping too much...but I think I've finally figured out that she just likes/needs sleep! If we get her down at the right time she sleeps so nice and is so fun in between naps. Parenting really is all about trial and error and learning your own child. I have also learned not to compare your child to other babies...they are all so different!
We had a great Easter yesterday! I felt kind of bad because we didn't get Maddie an Easter basket, but we figured we'll save the money (on things she doesn't even know/care about now!) and put it towards later when she is older and can really enjoy them. She did get presents though...from both grandparents and her aunts! And she got a wonderful stuffed bunny from Tanya & Alexa :)
Maddie is smiling so much these days and has recently started laughing! It's the best noise I've ever heard!! Nate is really good at making her laugh. And we've learned that she is ticklish!! So darn cute! The weather is finally nice and I can't wait for the picnics and outside festivites to start! What a fun summer this will be :)
