As any new mom can attest to, our days don't have much variation lately. I basically roll out of bed when Brax has had enough of cartoons and "dry cereal snacks". We stay in our sweats and p.j.'s most of the time and just eat, sleep, feed Madi, burp Madi (he says we have to take turns), and get in at least one chore a day. She is 4 weeks old today and I feel like more of myself lately. Here are some pictures from our daily life. Brady with his kids watching conference (yes we have two Binky babies), Braxton's newly-found camera skills, Braxton and Madison just hanging out in their chairs, and Braxton's once in a while holding Madi. Seeing Braxton and Madison interact and hearing him call her "soo cute" and "his baby" just makes me smile! I absolutely love seeing them together! He hasn't gotten too jealous, at least not of me! Whenever Brady holds Madi, Brax finds his way over to be next to him too! The other night when Brady was working late we called him for family prayer, to our surprise Brax burst out in tears saying that he missed him and that he wanted him to come home! It was one of the saddest things I've ever seen. I have to admit I was holding back to the tears too.

I've been waiting for pictures of little Madison! She's beautiful! CONGRATS! I want a girl sssooo bad next and I'm completely jealous of you! Sometimes I think, okay maybe I'm ready for #2...then reality sets in and I don't think I'm quite there yet! I LOVE Braxton's comments when you were delivering..."Is that blood?" HA! Cute boy!

She is beautiful! I love the outfits and bow! I am glad everything went well. I agree, I need someone to live with us whenever we have another child- my MOM! Having newborns around is not easy. They need you 24/7. They are so angellic and cute though, I know it's worth all the work and labor. It's just hard to keep up with housework and all. I loved all the pics. I am glad Brax is such a great big brother. He's the sweetest boy I've ever seen, so I knew he would be :)

I can't believe how HUGE Brax looks sitting in his little seat next to hers. Crazy. She is beautiful!! A little pretty girly version of Brax.
