Here are her stats for 2 months
weight: 10lbs 4.07 oz
height: 25 inches
she is in 39th percentile for her weight and 20th percentile for her height. the doctor is very pleased with her weight gain, cause when we went in for her 2 wk they were worried. but she is a little porker.
activities: she eats 3 to 3.5 oz every 3 hrs and naps thru out the day, she is now smiling and is cooing and it is too cute. she is very alert and is very much a momma's girl, whenever dustin holds her and she hears me, she will try and figure out where i am. she sleeps at night pretty good, usually 5 hrs one time she even slept for 7. which is quite nice, because it took jaxson along time to sleep thru the night. she gets cuter every day and i wish time would slow down. more updates at her 4 month.

my day as a stay at home mom
So I recently read an article where Mitt Romney's wife was critized for being a stay at home mom, and that she never worked a day in her life. I thought that was actually pretty rude of someone to say that because to me being a mom whether you stay home with your kids or work is still a full time job. I just recently had the privillage of being able to stay home with my kids and I love (most) days, but that's like with any thing in life, I have my good days and my bad days, and there are some really bad days. But to show the people who don't have kids what it's like, here is what my day is like:
1:00 am or 2:00 am Madison wakes up to eat (feed and change) and try and get her back to sleep.
5:30 am wake up feed Madison, get Dustin's lunch pack and say bye to him for the day
6:30 to 8:30 get some sleep before both kids wake up, feed Madison and put her back down, and jump into the shower with Jaxson.
9:00 feed Jaxson, attempt to straighten up the kitchen while he is eating breakfast (dishes, sweeping, wipe the counters down)
10ish Let Jaxson watch Disney channel, while I feed and change Madison, than get both kids dress
11:00 to Noon, spend time with Jaxson while Madison naps, and feed Jaxson lunch
1:00 Put Jaxson down for a nap, and pick up around the house while both kids sleep, and try and get some school work done, and some how mange to eat.
3:00 Jaxson wakes up from his nap, feed him a snack and change him, play with him while Madison sleeps.
4:30 Dustin comes home, have him occupy Jaxson while I try and get dinner started.
5is Feed Madison, entertain Jaxson and try and get dinner finish
5:30 or 6 feed Jaxson, Dustin, and myself.
7:00 start getting Jaxson ready for bed
8:00 feed Madison and change her, put Jaxson down for the night, spend time with Dustin before he goes to bed.
8:30 to 10 hop online and check facebook while everyone sleeps, and try and finish homwork, feed Madison and play with her until she falls back to sleep.
the schedule never stays the same, depends on the kids, Madison fighting sleep or Jaxson not wanting to take a nap, to trying to start potty training Jaxson, or appointments ect. But this is usually how my day is, trying to make sure my home is in order and my kiddos are fed and happy, and my husband is happy, this is my life as a stay at home mom, it's not always easy and it's not a glamourous job, but I wouldn't change it for the world.

Madison 1 month
here are madison stats for 5 wks
weight: 9lbs 3 oz (she was weighed at wic last friday)
height : 21.5 inches (so she only grew .5 inch since she was born)
feeding: about every 3 to 4 hrs, i am nursing and also supplementing with formula, so after she nurses and if she is still hungry she will eat between 3 and 4 ounces of formula..i have a little porker on my hands.
sleeping: she naps thru out the day and at night she sleeps 4 to 5 hours, which i rather enjoy, unless it's a bad night than it's about 2 to 3.
she is very alert when she is awake and is starting to gain better control of her head, she hasn't smiled yet, only in her sleep which is still cute. jaxson has been good with her and is very interested and likes to talk to her and try and help with her, and if i am sitting on the couch holding her, he will want to hold her.
she is a wonderful addition to our family and am so greatful to have her.
