Dresses, Tights, and Bows

So I'm reliving my childhood of dressing up my dolls...now it's my daughter. Yesterday Maddie and I went out to lunch with my work friends, and it was a perfect excuse to dress her up. I went out and got tights and bows to match the super cute dress that our friends Alysia, Mike and Talia bought Maddie. Check her out!

By the way...we'll have monthly Pooh Bear pictures....Like Caden had with Tigger. :-) Here's the first!

Two Weeks Old!

Madelynn is now two weeks old!! She is so fun, and treating mama very well. She slept last night from 12:30 - 6:30! This trend will probably not continue, and we might have some rough nights ahead, but nights like last night make up for it! :-)

She is eating very well and gaining lots of weight - she is probably over 9 pounds by now. Caden loves hugging her and taking pictures with her. Here's a few shots from her second week...

Big Brother with Little Sister...



Caden loves to lay by her on her play mat...



Jeff and Carla came up for a visit to see the kids!!


This is a picture that Caden took - complete with a finger at the bottom...

This is what Maddie looked like in the morning one day this week. She worked her hand out of her swaddle and slept like that.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Our little lucky charm....

First Week pictures

Caden likes taking pictures with his little sister. He looks so big next to her!








On Tuesday, Maddie met Cheryl for the first time!

Visiting with the Grandparents!

Grandma Callender, Grandma and Grandpa Frank came up to meet Maddie on Saturday the 12th, and stayed for a few days to spend time with us! Here are the pictures!

8 Lbs, 13 Oz and 20 in long



Madelynn is doing very well and is having fun at home with her big brother! The labor went very well, and we delivered within 3 hours of arriving at the hospital. Matt and I stayed home on Friday waiting to progress enough to go in, while Caden spent the night at Heather and Joel's - having a ball with Jackson.


Big brother arrived on Saturday morning to meet his little sister, and was very interested in her from the start. At home, Caden gives her kisses and hugs and calls her "Baby Maddie"

The nurses put a little bow in her hair! So cute!

Caden's Big Boy Room

Caden loves his new room - and we had no problem transitioning to it!

Winter Fun

We had a bunch of snow in February - one storm dropped almost a foot. Here's some pictures - Caden LOVES going out in the snow.





We also got Caden to a hockey game in February - he LOVES to watch Hockey

February Pictures

LOOOONG Time....no post!! Oops! Things are getting very busy here at the Callender House. I'm a week or so away from due date, but baby girl is already getting ready to come out. I have a feeling her birthday will be before her due date! :-)

Here's some cute pictures from the last few days...




Caden falls asleep reading books almost every night....and he sleeps with his mouth open just like his daddy...


A 39 week belly makes a great book reading pillow...
