Thanks for the wait....

I know it's been a while since we've posted on here, and you can blame 40% on me, and 60% on the wife... well, 70% on the wife, 30% on me... ;o)

The kiddo is doing great. She is amazing her parents each and every day which leaves us guessing as to what comes next. At 4 months she was rolling over, 5 months she was crawling, 6 months she was standing, and now at 7.5 months we're walking. I know, I can't believe it either. We'll post some pics of her walking and see if we can get a video uploaded as well.

Other than looking after our little superwoman, the Bristow's headed to Dallas this last weekend for Madelyn to meet some extended and immediate family and she did great. Normally, she is afraid of guys ( score one for dad! ) but she took to Great Grandpa Bristow quick with big hugs (she's a hugger now ).

Well stay tuned for more updates and I'll be sure to keep the wife on top of this.

Sad Sad Month....

As July comes to a close, we look back and realize that this was a very sad, but exciting month. Our little girl is growing up a little too quick for our taste as we had two unexpected firsts.... Her first tooth and her first crawl... At first, we thought it was great! But now we realize, that if we turn our back on her for one second, she's making a mad dash towards the closest electronic. Looks like it's finally time to start "Baby Proofing" the house.

Other than those two biggies, we're all doing well. Stay tuned for more updates later on in the week.

End of July update....

This has been a very exciting month for the Bristow family... We witnessed the marriage of some good friends of ours and got to watch our baby girl take her first crawl! And if that was not enough, then hold on to your pants, because she cut her first tooth! We are in the early design stages to figure out just how we're going to get a picture of it since she can't keep her tongue in her mouth but hopefully soon we'll have one up on here.

Other than that, we are still trying to narrow down what's wrong with Genea. I think it's gout by the way she smells ;o) ( jk, love you wife) She had a doctors appointment today and they referred her to a gallbladder specialist. ( sp? ) Her next appointment is on Thursday at 9:00am. So hopefully we'll know a little more what exactly is going on.

Other than that, nothing big happening here. Stay tuned for more pics of our little boogerwulf ( Madelyn ) and take care!

What a busy summer...

Well things have been pretty busy for us lately and we are all ready for a rest! The family is doing great and little Madelyn is growing bigger everyday. She has started eating cereal and veggies and starts on her fruits soon! I swear she is trying to learn how to crawl, but it is so fun to watch her scoot across the floor!

As far as the parents, we're for the most part doing great. But what's life without a little ambiguity. We've had a few curveballs thrown our way but we're just rolling with the punches. ( Watching ESPN so sorry for the sports cliches )

Stay tuned, more updates to come soon!

The Bristows

Hello everyone!

Well after a long week of traveling to visit Danielle, Jason and the kiddos in Oklahoma we are now back in Hutto trying to get some rest! Madelyn is getting so big it is crazy! She now rolls over to her tummy anytime she is on her back and is holding her head up like a pro. I swear one day soon I am going to see her crawl! She looks like she wants to already. She has a doctors appointment on Monday to get her 4 month shots, I can't believe she is 4 months already! I posted some new pics of her on our trip to Oklahoma with her cousins and then some of our trip to fredericksburg. Enjoy!
Jared, Genea and Madelyn

Hello from the Bristow family! Sorry about the long delay between posts again but we have been very busy. Things tend to get that way with a 3 month old. Well she is almost 3 months old but she is weighing in at that now! She is almost fourteen pounds! We are all doing great and baby Madelyn is growing like a weed! She had her two month check up on the 11th and had her shots. Lets just say she did not like that very much! She is smiling all the time and starting to giggle a little too. She has also found her fingers recently and just loves to suck away! She is growing so fast and I would love to share some new pics. They will be up shortly, mommy just needs to figure out how to put them on! Haha.. Take care everyone and we will update you again soon with the adventure of Madelyns life.

New news from Hutto..

Sorry for the long delay between posts, if you can imagine, it's been fairly busy down here! The wife is doing well, tired, but well. We took Madelyn into the ER last night because she was spitting up a bit and just wanted to make sure she was golden, which she was. This morning, she went to see her own doctor and was told that she may be having an allergic reaction to the supplement that we are giving her so back to 100% nursing.. Genea is way excited too... ha. ( I'll slap myself for saying that )

Other than that, busy busy, check out the new pics below and stay tuned for more updates.....
