So I have been working on this post for over a week now and just can't get it together. I can't quite put into words all the wonderful things I want to say about the precious new baby who has entered our lives. But I have to try, because you guys have to know how cool she is. So here are a few random observations and pictures.
1. Even though Madelyn came 3 weeks ahead of schedule, she had quite a fan base waiting at the hospital for her to arrive. About half the crew is shown in the waiting room below. The other half is in the room with Toby and Angie visiting.
2. She is so tiny! Just barely bigger than Carson was at birth. It's crazy to hold such a small baby again.
3. I think she has the coolest baby hair I've ever seen.
4. One of my new favorite things is watching her brother Patrick with her. He is SO loving, helpful, and sweet.
5. It's hard to believe Madelyn and Carson are only 2 months apart! Look how GIANT Carson is next to her!
6. We tried to get a picture of the 3 cousins together, but Patrick was somehow always a blur. Go figure :)
By the way, it's crazy that we've gone from having just one kid around to what feels like having a house full of kids at our family gatherings!
7. Isn't she just the most beautiful thing???
Toby and Angie are doing such a great job balancing it all so far. I can't imagine how exhausted they are, but it doesn't show as they take the time to focus on both kids at the same time, as well as each individually. Hope everything goes smoothly next week when Toby returns to work! And we can't wait to get to know Madelyn better as her personality develops!
