Love.

Mary is in a training class today and She posted this… I can only imagine what her high school notebooks used to look like :)

Husband of the year! I told Ben that I LOVE yellow cake with caramel icing and last night I came home and Ben had made me one. He made the icing from scratch and even said Madeline helped by being good so he could work on it. So insanely sweet. Makes my heart smile. :-) -MKM

Loving my birthday present from Ben: diamond earrings!!!!

This last month has been a transformative time in our lives. I looked at Mary the other day and said ”I can’t even remember what a full night’s sleep feels like!” It’s amazing how quickly we were able to adjust to sleeping in chunks.

Speaking of chunks, the little bit has been such a great eater. At her one month checkup she weighed 9 lbs. 14 oz (thats 3 lbs 1.5 oz since birth). She’s starting to get those adorable chunky baby legs. She also grew 2.25 inches since birth.

The latest developments have been around her eyes. She is now able to notice and follow objects around a room, or her favorite is to watch the stuffed bees above her swing. Her eyelashes have also begun to get quite long.

We love her so much and are savoring every moment (even the crying)
